Ah no way. RIP Robbie.

Totally agree. Brilliant songwriter, singer and guitarist. I wish I had half his talent.

I was looking forward to the second volume of his memoirs.

I'm not familiar with Robertson's solo work and I only know The Band's first three albums. This is a fine song about working class struggle. RIP Jaime Royal 'Robbie' Robertson.

Loved The Band's music too.
RIP Robbie

There's never a bad time to hear or watch this, even a sad time like this.

Love that bit in The Last Waltz when Robertson is recalling the time Ronnie Hawkins was recruiting him to be one if the Hawks and told him, "I can't promise you much money but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra!"

RIP Robbie.
