Bob Lind

Bob Lind is a treasured figure in the folk-rock world, best known for his 1966 hit "Elusive Butterfly," a dreamy anthem that soared to the top 5 on the Billboard charts and became a defining track of the era. Though often labeled a "one-hit wonder," Lind’s introspective songwriting and warm, conversational voice earned him a devoted cult following. After stepping back from music in the late '60s to explore writing (he authored novels and screenplays), he quietly returned to the scene decades later, proving his artistry never faded. Recent releases like *Something Worse Than Loneliness* and *Since There Were Circles* showcase his weathered-but-wise vocals and knack for poetic storytelling, while live albums like *Bob Lind Live at the Luna Star Café* capture his enduring charm onstage. A low-key legend, Lind’s music—equal parts folk sincerity and literary flair—still flutters beautifully decades after that first "butterfly" took flight.
