Music has been Robin Roge… Read Full Bio ↴Robin Rogers is an American blues singer.
Music has been Robin Rogers' consuming passion ever since her days as a teenaged street singer.
In the mid-nineties she got involved with the Charlotte Blues Society. Shortly after that, she met and married fellow musician and Blues lover, Tony Rogers. They performed as an acoustic duo, with Tony playing guitar/dobro and Robin on harmonica and percussion. It wasn't too long before she was heard by producer/musician, Jim Brock and was asked to do a CD which was released in 2001 entitled "Time For Myself" a contemporary Blues record which contains six originals penned by Robin and Tony.
She was finalist in the Blues Foundation's International Blues Challenge in 2004 and won the following year's "Best Self-Produced CD" Award for her sophomore album "Crazy, Cryin' Blues".
In 2008 Robin signed with Blind Pig, and her debut release for the label, “Treat Me Right”, was issued in June of that year.
At age 55, and with the release of her second strong release for the Blind Pig Records label, Robin Rogers should be celebrating a successful pinnacle of her career as a blues singer and harp player. But, just a short time before the album appeared in stores, complications from the hepatitis C she had contracted more than two decades ago put her in the hospital, where an inoperable cancerous tumor was discovered in her liver.
Robin Rogers passed away on Friday, December 17, 2010 at her Gastonia, North Carolina home at the too-young age of 55 years. Rogers had been fighting liver cancer for the past few months, even as her critically-acclaimed 2010 album Back In The Fire was making her a star in the blues world. This week Rogers received a well-deserved Blues Music Award nomination as "Contemporary Female Artist of the Year."

The Plan
Robin Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To look back now
Just a little bit of faith
Turned all around
I couldn’t feel much better
Even if I try
You know that everything is going as planned
That’s all I need
Nobody . you baby
The way you . me
I couldn’t feel much better
Even if I try
You know that everything is going as planned
I got good friends
They’re on my heart
I know if I need them
It’s just one call
I couldn’t feel much better
Even if I try
You know that everything is going as planned
I got the very best job
I get to sing all night
That’s a real blessing
From 9 to 5
I couldn’t feel much better
Even if I try
You know that everything is going as planned
I got a little red house
I feel right at home
I’m walking the course
Where I belong
I couldn’t feel much better
Even if I try
You know that everything is going as planned
I tell you
Everything is going as planned
You know that everything is going as planned
In Robin Rogers's song The Plan, the lyrics reflect on the singer's happiness and contentment with her life.

The third verse talks about how the singer is grateful for her friends who are always there for her when she needs them. She counts her job and her little red house as blessings and feels right at home in them.
The repetition of the line "I couldn't feel much better, even if I try" emphasizes her contentment and satisfaction with her life; she feels that everything is going as planned. This song is an affirmation of her gratitude for the good things in her life and a testament to the power of positivity and faith.
