Roby Duke / Not The Same

Roby Duke was one of the most popular Contemporary Christian Music singer among Japanese who liked AOR music in early 80's. His voice was so soft and his melodies were very friendly to us. This album is his solo debut album originally released under the label named MCA / Songbird, USA, which was established as the Contemporary Christian Music label distributed by MCA. After closing Songbird label, Roby continued to release 4 albums("Come Let Us The Reason"(1984), "Blue Eyed Soul"(1986), "Down To Business"(1989) and "Bridge Divine"(1994) ) with Ocean Records, USA.
