Robert John (1979) Takin My Love For Granted

 Robert John had a hit in the 50s as a child star under a different name as Bobby Pedrick Jr, his real name. The song 'White Bucks and Saddle Shoes' was a hit as a 12 year old, a singer with a strong falsetto and child prodigy; his biggest hit however was in 1979, with Sad Eyes. This song is from the same self titled album, older and with a bona fide, self penned soft rock hit. Takin My Love For Granted is probably the other good song from the unremarkable album where on some cuts he sounds exactly like Barry Gibb however the immaculate keyboards and exquisite melody make it nice gem.
