Imrich Lobo (born 2 June 1955), better known by his stage name Lobo, is a Dutch singer.
After the success of Stars On 45, many artistes jumped on the medley bandwagon, and Lobo's medley of calypso hits - entitled "Caribbean Disco Show"[1] - was a number 1 hit in the Netherlands for three weeks in July and August 1981, as well as topping the Belgian (Flemish) charts.[2] The single also made the top ten in the UK Singles Charts, being one of 7 medleys in the top 30 in mid-August.[3]
Lobo had two other smaller hits in the Netherlands, but remained a one-hit wonder elsewhere in Europe.
Apart from his music career, Lobo was a physics teacher at a Dutch school until retiring in 2021.[4]
