Peter Kingsbery is an American singer songwriter who cofounded the band Cock Robin in the 1980s.
 He grew up in Austin (Texas) where he studied classical music.
 He moved to Nashville (Tennessee) where he began his career as a musician (he accompanied Brenda Lee on piano on a few tours) and then to Los Angeles at the end of the '70s where he began a career as a singer/songwriter.
 He composed a few songs for Smokey Robinson, and one of his compositions, "Pilot Error", sung by Stephanie Mills, got some success in the dance charts in 1983.
 At the beginning of the '80s, he founded the group Cock Robin with Anna LaCazio, Clive Wright and Lou Molino III which enjoyed great success in Western Europe mainly.
 Failing to break their native country with a first self-titled album in 1985, the quartet became a duo of Kingsbery and LaCazio when they released their second album in 1987.
 After the band split up in the early 1990s after a third album, Peter Kingsbery enjoyed a fairly successful solo career, releasing four albums over a decade, and scoring a major hit in France with the song "Only the Very Best."
 With his fourth album he tried his luck singing in French, the language of his adopted country (living there since some years back).
