Robbie Lane and the Disciples is a Canadian rock band, that peaked in the 1960s. A cover of Neil Sedaka's "What Am I Gonna Do" was their biggest success, reaching #10 in 1966.
Beginning as Ronnie Hawkins' backup band, Robbie Lane & the Disciples later gained attention as the band for Canadian CBC-TV's It's Happening. Composed of guitarist Terry Bush, drummer Doug Copeland, harmonica player William Cudmore, keyboardist Paul Denyef, vocalist Robbie Lane, tenor saxophonist Paul Mifsud and bassist Gene Track, the group recorded several singles during the mid-'60s. After an unsuccessful solo career in the mid-'70s, Robbie Lane (aka Robin Curry) and the band re-formed in the mid-'80s.
The chart positions are from the RPM Canadian singles chart.
