invisible airwave Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I'm sure Scorsese is gonna dedicate Flower Moon to him in the credits. He's done some good work for him on movies like King of Comedy. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Just read the notice on BBC. Says he had had a long illness. I didn't realise that. A big loss. RIP Robbie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 RIP. Heard this when I was about 12, years before I knew anything bout The Band or involvement with Bob. Loved it then, still do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) People used to get On Robbie for his ego and whatever but there's no denying his impact on rock and music and while in the band he wrote some of the most iconic songs ever. For whatever problems he and his mates had they all made fantastic music together. RIP Robbie.

He wrote "The night they drove old dixie down" right? So different. Amazing the same person wrote both of them. Love that song. He wrote the lyrics too? Wonder how he got the inspiration being from Canda? Talented fellow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
