WHO IS JOHN JR ROBINSON?

John Robinson was born in Creston, Iowa on December 29th, 1954, in Creston, Iowa. He's the son of the late optometrist, Dr. Jack Robinson and the late Helen Sloan. Both parents, through music, had a strong effect on John. He started on piano at the age of 5 and on drums at the age of 8. John turned pro when he started his first band at the young age of 10.

After attending many music camps throughout junior and senior high school, John chose to attend Berklee College of music in Boston, MA. At Berklee, John was introduced to a whole world variety of cultures through music.

While touring with his own band in early 1978, John got his break. Rufus & Chaka Khan came into the club where John was playing and by the third set, the band 'Rufus' was sitting in with John! Within a few weeks, John had moved to Los Angeles to finish the 1978 Rufus world tour.

In late 1978, John was introduced to Quincy Jones. "Q" asked John if he did sessions outside Rufus. Of course he replied "yes" and John was in the studio soon after recording "Off The Wall" for Michael Jackson. Ever since that record, JR's phone has been ringing...off the wall!

John “JR” Robinson has become the most recorded drummer in history, even surpassing the great Hal Blaine. Some of the hits are, We Are The World, All Night Long, You Are and Say You Say Me by Lionel Richie, I’m So Excited and Slow Hand by the Pointer Sisters, I’m Just A Gigolo and California Girls by David Lee Roth, Higher Love, The Finer Things and Back In The Highlife by Steve Winwood, Express Yourself by Madonna, Off The Wall, Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough, Rock With You, The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal, Workin Day and Night and Bad from the late great Michael Jackson, Natalie Cole’s, ”Stardust” and Change The World by Eric Clapton, Quincy Jones’ The Dude, Q’s Jook Joint and From Q With Love, Give Me The Night from George Benson just to name a few. Of course in 1983 JR won a Grammy with Rufus and Chaka Khan for “Ain’t Nobody”.
