The duo's one released single (on the Decca label in 1965) was a cover of Simon's " The Sound of Silence". The duo performed in pubs and clubs and occasionally shared the stage with a then-unknown Paul Simon. In the early 1960s, Hine formed half of the folk duo Rupert & David with David MacIver. He attended St John’s school in Horsham, West Sussex, before he came to King’s College School in Wimbledon. Hine started playing in the school band at age 14 and played the mouth organ, mostly because it was the cheapest instrument to buy.
Hine's mother was convinced he would be an architect, but Hine’s early ambition was to become a cartographer. He grew up in a house full of music, his mother was an amateur ballet dancer and his father an amateur musician who also played drums in a jazz band when he was young. He was the son of Maurice, a timber merchant, and Joan (nee Harris), a Red Cross nurse. Hine was born in Wimbledon, London on 21 September 1947.
