Robert Allen Austin (May 4, 1933 – January 6, 2002) was an American country music singer-songwriter and musician.
Austin moved to Los Angeles in 1955, where he played bass in Wynn Stewart's band. He also worked as a session musician, for Buck Owens and Tommy Collins, among others, before being signed by Capitol Records as a solo artist in 1962.[1] His "Apartment No. 9", written with Johnny Paycheck, was a hit for Tammy Wynette, in addition to reaching No. 21 on the U.S. country charts with his own version.[2] He also co-wrote "Try a Little Kindness" which became a hit for Glen Campbell.
