Crispian St. Peters (born Robin Peter Smith, 5 April 1939, Swanley, Kent, England) was a British pop singer of the 1960s. He is best known for his 1966 hit, “The Pied Piper”.
Early career
As a young man, St. Peters performed in several relatively-unknown bands in England. In 1956, he gave his first live performance, as a member of The Hard Travellers. Through the late 1950s and early 1960s, he was a member of The Country Gentlemen, Beat Formula Three, and Peter & The Wolves. In 1964, as a member of Peter & The Wolves, St. Peters made his first commercial recording.
Decca label
St. Peters was signed to Decca Records in 1965. His first two singles on this record label, “Invecto Show” and “At This Moment”, proved unsuccessful on the charts. He made two television appearances in England in February of that year, featuring in the shows Scene At 6.30 and Ready Steady Go!
In 1966, St. Peters’ career finally yielded a Top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart, when “You Were On My Mind” entered the listing, eventually hitting #2. The single was then released in the U.S. on the Philadelphia-based Jamie label, but it did not chart at first. However, his fourth release, “The Pied Piper”, became forever known as his signature song, reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #5 in the UK. No subsequent release would ever match the success of “The Pied Piper”, although the latter’s success helped boost “You Were On My Mind” into the U.S. Top 40.
