Episode 209
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026

Robin Batteau is a renowned violinist, singer/songwriter and producer. He's played with Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston and Judy Collins - just to name a few. Clive Davis, the legendary music mogul, signed Robin and his brother David to a recording contract back in 1971, releasing "Batteau" on Columbia Records. Robin later hooked up with David Buskin forming the folk/rock duo of Buskin & Batteau. You'll also find him in the band Pierce Arrow, earlier in his career. A Grammy and Emmy award winner, his most listened to work was that of television and radio advertising jingles for McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet and many more companies. Robin's latest solo project dives deep into his Greek studies, giving him inspiration for the album Banned in Sparta. Several of his friends including Tom Paxton and Livingston & Kate Taylor join him. Ray White, a multi-award winning program director, captures many of Robin's career highlights in this episode. We close out this show with the legendary Dion (DiMucci) whose latest release is The Rock 'n' Roll Philosopher. Amazing musicians...are featured on Classic Artists Today!
