Peter Antony Robinson (born 3 November 1962), [3] better known as Marilyn, is an English singer known for his androgynous appearance. He was one of Britain's most successful gender bending musical artists in the 1980s.
"Calling Your Name" is the debut single by British singer Marilyn. The song was an international hit, peaking at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1983 [1] and No. 3 in Australia in April 1984. [2] The song was later included on the singer's 1985 debut album Despite Straight Lines. [3]
Although Marilyn had scored three top 40 hits throughout the 1983–84 period, his debut album was not released until mid-1985, 18 months after his biggest hit "Calling Your Name" was a top 10 hit. Possibly due to a loss of momentum, the album only charted in Australia, [ 2 ] and subsequent singles taken from it were also unsuccessful.
