Peter Robinson (born 1962), better known as Marilyn, is a British pop singer who was known for his highly androgynous appearance. He was one of the "Blitz Kids" during the New Romantic era and was close friends with Boy George. He also briefly collaborated with Diana Ross as his manager. Marilyn met with fleeting chart success in the 1980s with his hit songs "Calling Your Name", "Cry and Be Free" and "You Don't Love Me". However, plans to launch his career in the USA were not successful. In 1985, Marilyn released his debut and only album, Despite Straight Lines, which failed to chart.

In 2001, Robinson appeared in the BBC documentary programme A Fine Romance: The Story of the New Romantics. On 2 September 2001, Marilyn performed a live appearance at the Sound on Sunday club night in Leicester Square, London. It was his first live performance in over 14 years. On 23 September 2016, Marilyn released his first new single in over 30 years, entitled "Love or Money".[28] The same day, both he and Boy George appeared on the television show BBC Breakfast, which showed the promo video for the single.
