about
He was born in Craigmillar, Edinburgh in 1946 and is a noted Scottish songwriter. His full name is Robert Heatlie and he can play numerous instruments including the saxophone, drums, and the piano. Japanese Boy and Merry Christmas Everyone turned out to be his most prominent songs both released in the 1980's and both went on to reach the UK No. 1 spot for both Aneka and Shakin' Stevens. Japanese Boy sold 4.5 million copies alone and was released by the German label Hansa. Merry Christmas Everyone has seen him regularly receiving cheques trough the post every time the festive year comes round, since its release in 1985. Another decent pop song he wrote was Breaking Up My Heart, which turned out to be yet another hit for Shakin' Stevens and was helped in kind by the superb music video that accompanied it. Bob also wrote cry just a little bit for shakin' stevens. Another proud moment in his career was writing the track Locked Inside You Prison, which appeared on Cliff Richards album entitled Silver and went on to reach the UK No. 7 back in 1983.
