#1 on WPGC Today in 1972

Fearful that he would be labeled a novelty act, Roland Kent Lavoie took his producer's advice and hid behind a stage name, 'Lobo' when his first single, 'Me And You And A Dog Named Boo' was released which would allow him to relaunch his career if necessary should the song be taken as too gimmicky. As it turned out, '
Boo' was a Top Five hit nationally and established 'Lobo' ('Wolf' en Espanol) as a singer songwriter who had a way with a hook. While his second single, 'She Didn't Do Magic' didn't create much magic on the charts, it wasn't long before he had his biggest hit of all.

'I'd Love You To Want Me' was almost given away to the Hollies as the follow up to, 'Long Cool Woman'. Objecting to the line, 'the blood goes to my feet', they wanted to change it and in so doing demanded half the writing credit (and royalties) to which 'Lobo' refused. It was a wise move, as the tune became his most successful single, stalling at #2 nationally behind Johnny Nash's, 'I Can See Clearly Now' and spent its first of two consecutive weeks at #1 on the WPGC All Hit Music survey on 11/04/72, replacing the Nash tune at the top. See enlargement.

'Lobo' quickly followed it up with another Top Ten hit, 'Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend' and continued charting with singles for several more years. Branching out into producing other artists, he also achieved fame working with Jim Stafford, his one time co-member in the band, 'The Rumors' from early in their careers in Tallahassee, on songs like, 'Swamp Witch, 'Spiders & Snakes' and 'My Girl Bill'. 'Lobo''s comeback hit in 1979, 'Where Were You When I Was Falling In Love' paved the way for his transition into Country where he had several more hits in the '80's. He later formed his own label called, (what else?), 'Lobo Records'. As for Boo, he's back on the road again...
