Robert Dupuis (born December 23, 1946, in Brooklyn, New York), better known by his stage name Robbie Dupree is an American singer-songwriter best known for his 1980 top ten pop hit, "Steal Away."

Dupree originally became popular with his breakout hit, "Steal Away", which hit #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1980. The song is built around a keyboard riff notably similar to the 1979 hit version of "What a Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers.

Shortly after that, he scored another hit with "Hot Rod Hearts", which rose to #15 in July 1980. Dupree's final single to make the Billboard charts, "Brooklyn Girls", peaked at #54 in May 1981.

In 1987, Dupree contributed the song "Girls in Cars" to Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II, a collection of theme songs for World Wrestling Entertainment (then known as the World Wrestling Federation). The tag team Strike Force (Tito Santana and Rick Martel) used "Girls in Cars" as their entrance music.
