Vicki Sue Robinson (May 31, 1954 – April 27, 2000) was an American theatre/film actress and singer, closely associated with the disco era of late 1970s pop music; she is most famous for her 1976 hit, “Turn the Beat Around.”

In 1976, Robinson toured across the United States promoting her hit tune, “Turn the Beat Around.” She performed on all the major TV shows such as The Midnight Special, Don Kirshners Rock Concert, The Merv Griffin Show, Mike Douglas, American Bandstand, and Soul Train. She also performed at the top venues around the country such as the Boarding House in San Francisco, The Starwood, in Los Angeles, The Bottom Line, Felt Forum, and Carnegie Hall in New York. The original touring band consisted of Dan Pickering on trumpet and flute, Bill Cerulli on drums, Wendy Simmons on bass guitar, Nacho Mena on percussion, Vernie “Butch” Taylor on guitar, and George Pavlis on keyboards. George Pavlis would be later replaced by Joey Melotti on keyboards. The touring band members recorded four tracks on Robinson’s second album, Vicki Sue Robinson.

In 1975, Robinson was providing vocals at a New York recording session for the album Many Sunny Places by Scott Fagan, a singer with whom she had performed in Greenwich Village clubs. Warren Schatz, a producer/engineer with RCA Records, was struck by Robinson’s voice and saw her potential as a disco-oriented artist. Schatz invited Robinson to cut some demos including a remake of the Foundations’ “Baby Now That I’ve Found You” which became Robinson’s first solo release. Despite that track’s failure, RCA green-lit Schatz’s producing Robinson’s debut album Never Gonna Let You Go. The title cut, a Schatz original, became a #10 disco hit but another album track, “Turn the Beat Around,” began to build “buzz” and was expediently released as a single, topping the disco charts on March 20, 1976. “Turn the Beat Around” broke on Top 40 radio in Boston in May, almost immediately topping the charts there. Despite failure to crack the major market of Los Angeles, “Turn the Beat Around” reached the U.S. Top 10 in August, spending around six months overall on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelling the Never Gonna Let You Go album to #49. “Turn the Beat Around” would chart internationally, reaching #14 in Canada, #44 in France, #11 in the Netherlands and #12 in South Africa. The track would earn Robinson a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

She subsequently resumed recording dance music with Schatz with releases on a number of labels: Prelude, Promise, Perfect and Profile, with the last-named releasing her dance version of “To Sir With Love,” which became a surprise Top Ten hit in Australia in 1984. Robinson’s next release, a remake of “Everlasting Love,” in 1984 was her last recording for almost fifteen years, apart from the track “Grab Them Cakes”, a duet with Junkyard Dog featured on The Wrestling Album (1985). “Grab Them Cakes” was issued as a single, with Cyndi Lauper miming the guitar in the music video.
