About Robert Parker (singer)
Robert Parker was an American R&B singer. His sole hit was "Barefootin'" (1966), and he is considered a one-hit wonder. It sold over one million copies, made the pop charts in Britain and elsewhere, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. Although he continued to record, he failed to repeat his success in terms of sales, and his recording career effectively ended in the mid 1970s.
