I am Kiran John (32 years) from Kottayam, Kerala, India.I came to know about Lobo in the 80’s when I heard his song Me and You And A Dog Named Boo sung by my friend Raju in an Youth Festival at our College. Inspired by that that song I started collecting Lobos songs. I have collected more than 100 of his songs within a span of 5 years. Then couldn’t get many. I enquired about this singer to many persons related to music, but they didn’t know much about him. But a few years later after computers and internet became popular I had the opportunity to learn more about him from this site and others. Lobo’s voice is so cheerful and clear and his lyrics are so romantic. The way he plays the guitar also is wonderful. Though I like many singers it is Lobo who I like most due to his cute love songs. I tried to popularise his songs in my town by singing them and giving Lobo’s cassettes as gifts to many of my friends. I also won a prize in our college Youth Festival for singing his song “Standing at the end of the line”. And due to that, that song and Lobo became so popular in our college during my graduation. Later I came to know that Lobo released an album specially for Indian fans called Bombay Moon (where as it was titled Asian Moon for Others). The song Bombay Moon also was so great. Now I am running a Music Shop called Music Zone in my home town. And due to my craze for Lobo songs I am promotting Lobo’s Cassettes and Cds to people who haven’t heard about him.
After visiting this site I found that I am yet to get many of his songs. But it’s a pity that all online sites only offer his Hit songs and not his rare songs. I really want to get songs like Yellow River, We’ll be one by two today, Everybody Get Together,… (Anybody please help me.) . Some of them I got from an old LP but the sound quality is very poor.
My ambition is to meet Lobo (that I know will happen only in my dreams) or at least to get an email from him.
Love, Kiran John

I've been a music buff since age 10. I've always loved the song "I'd Love You to Want Me," but only recently purchased The Best of Lobo on Rhino Records. One listen to that CD hooked me and made me a certified fan. I love his ability to put into words and music thoughts a lot of other people could never adequately express. I can especially identify with "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend," since it's tough to "remain friends" with someone in whom you've invested a lot of emotion and time.
Now I'm scurrying to come up to speed and round out my collection. My quest for Lobo knowledge led me to do a search on AltaVista, and voila, I found this very Web site. Great job, Sam!

I am 51 years old, have been married for 29 years. I have three children - one boy and two girls - and four grandchildren. I have lived in South Carolina for the last ten years, but I grew up in Indiana. I have been a machinist for the last 34 years. I have been listening to Lobo since the early 70's. He is my hero. He is the first singer that I can say I had to learn the words to all his songs. You could tell when he was talking about himself in the songs he was singing. At other times, I would swear he was singing about my life. I don't have all of his songs, but I wish I did. I admire his works, his voice, and the way he makes that guitar sing right along with him. Thank you Lobo for being you.... Sincerely, Cal

Iam Sunil Manakkattil,Age 28, hails from Trivandrum, Kerala, India . Iam a great fan of LOBO, I fell in love with his sweet voice when I listened for the first time, a cassete which I got from my cousin around 5-6 years back
( I guess it was released by the Pony Canyon records).Ever since I’ve been searching for a collection of his greatest Hits. Now I got hold of a CD which my friend purchased from Amazon.com and passed to me ( The CD is named, LOBO, BEST OF made in Germany). Few of the songs in that CD Iam listening for the first time (Simple man, Yellow River, Rock n Roll days, Back bay …etc), all the songs are so sweet , cute…I don’t have words to say. LOBO, he’s simply the Best. I got a hit to this page searching for the lyrics, thanks for the site its wonderful to see that lot of people love Him and his songs.
Thanks,
Sunil Manakkattil.
