Rabbitt is a South African pop rock band formed in Johannesburg in 1972. The band evolved from an earlier teen rock group called The Conglomeration, with founding members including Duncan Faure, Trevor Rabin, Ronnie Robot (Ronald Friedman), and Neil Cloud. Known for their blend of rock, pop, and progressive elements, Rabbitt became one of the country's most popular and influential acts throughout the 1970s, sometimes referred to as South Africa's version of The Beatles due to the adulation they inspired. Their musical style was marked by technical proficiency, intricate arrangements, and innovative use of keyboards and synthesizers. Rabbitt achieved notable chart success in South Africa, with the 1976 hit single "Charlie" reaching the top of local charts.
