Robić was very active in recording for Germany's Polydor label, selling millions of albums and singles. It has also been performed by many other artists. An English version, One More Sunrise, sung by Leslie Uggams, reached #98 on the same charts. Following its success in Germany, the German-language version became a #13 hit on the popular charts in the United States and earned both artists a Gold Record. That song was the first collaboration between Robić and Bert Kaempfert. Robić was nicknamed "Mister Morgen" following the success of his first international hit, Morgen, in 1959. When he began, he was the only artist from Yugoslavia whose records were available in the record shops of Europe and the rest of the world.

In his own country, the most memorable of his many songs might be Vraćam se Zagrebe tebi (Coming Back to You, My Zagreb), Ta tvoja ruka mala (That Little Hand of Yours), and Tiho plove moje čežnje (Silent Sail of My Yearnings). During his career, which started in 1948 in what was then Yugoslavia, he made more than one hundred records, mostly singles. He began his career as a soloist with the Radio Zagreb Orchestra, while studying at the same time in Zagreb. Robić was born in Bjelovar.
