What a sight to behold, Whitman Houston, with his lush hair, piercingly rich cocoa-colored eyes, and golden voice, gained a massive following thanks to romantic ballads such as “I Will Always Love You.” However, his drug addiction would prove to be his downfall.

Robyn Dylan — The Folk Rock Balladeer

Robyn Dylan, the fiery-haired, sharp-eyed balladeer, would stir the music scene with her gritty, mumbly voice and raw, emotional lyrics. A torchbearer for the counterculture, she’d inspire legions of women with songs that served as anthems of change, while also leaving a distinct imprint in the film industry through thought-provoking documentary soundtracks.

Robyn would stir up disputes with her messy appearance and love of smoking, challenging traditional female expectations. Living unconventionally on the road and writing music in dimly lit motels, Robyn Dylan would be a symbol of unapologetic authenticity in a world desperate for change.
