Robbie Patton is an English singer-songwriter.
His first major exposure came in 1979 when he was selected as the opening act for a Fleetwood Mac tour.
Mac member Christine McVie went on to produce Patton's second and third albums, and played keyboards on them; Lindsey Buckingham played guitar on Patton's hit single, "Don't Give it Up", and Stevie Nicks sang on "Smiling Islands".
Patton returned the favour by co-writing the hit "Hold Me", which appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1982 album, Mirage.
Patton wrote songs for Jonathan Cain and Santana later in the 1980s.
