Knockoff of Alvin and the Chipmunks with a Christian twist, 1973-1977. Occasionally Charlie's younger cousins Huey and Stanley participated. Country music person Floyd Robinson created and recorded the surprisingly large number of albums before being sued into submission in 1977 by the son of the Chipmunks' creator, Ross Bagdasarian Jr.

His albums came out on the Singcord and Singspiration labels, subsidiaries of Zondervan, a Christian label.

Robinson had some real chart successes in 1958 and 1959 with "Little Space Girl" and "Makin' Love."
