Redirect to Change. If he is notable in his own right there needs to be sources. There is an AllMusic profile, minus the "E" middle initial, that establishes him as a journeyman vocalist who accompanies other notables, but it's tough to argue significant individual notability based on a single album with no indication of its success/notability. A google of "James E. Robinson's" turns up so many other James E. Robinsons--including another one who is a musician, but is not the same as this persons-- that it makes it next to impossible to search. Only by including his nickname "crab" does anything turn up, and it's just his own webpage plus the standard retail and Discogs-type sites with artist's credits. So until better sourcing is found, redirect. ShelbyMarion (talk) 16:46, 29 July 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect - he's not independently notable, yet we have WP:CHEAP. Bearian (talk)
 * Merge into the Change (band) article as he does have some reliable sources coverage, such as the AllMusic profile, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:14, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
