Robert Lee Helms (August 15, 1933 – June 19, 1997) was an American country singer.

Helms began performing as a duo with his brother, Freddie, before going on to a successful solo career in country music.

[5] His song "Jingle Bell Rock", which was released in the late fall of 1957, produced by Paul Cohen[6] was a big hit[7] and was being played and danced to on Dick Clark's teen dance show American Bandstand by mid-December of that year.

It also re-emerged in four out of the next five years, and sold so well that it repeated each time as a top hit, becoming a Christmas classic still played today.

He was a longtime resident of Martinsville, Indiana, until his death from complications from emphysema at the age of 63 on June 19, 1997.
