Sorcerer so underrated

I totally forgot about 'The French Connection'....Sorceror was underrated and good as well. Roy Scheider balled out in both of those.

Dang. I remember listening to the hell out of The Last Waltz. He was really the heart and soul of that group. He wrote great songs and was hugely influential.

In our fantasy football league every season each member gives me one artists/band during the offseason and I create a playlist using only those bands to be played at the draft.
We use one “in memorial” slot that goes to whichever major artist that passes away closest to the draft.
In the last few weeks we’ve gone from Tony Bennett to Sinead O’Connor to The Eagles/Poco to the Kinks and now The Band/Robbie Robertson.
Hopefully we’re listening to The Band on 8/26.

I seem to be the documentary guy each time we lose another musical great. I highly recommend "Once Were Brothers" a doc about Robbie Robertson and The Band.
When I heard Robbie died I immediately played this video from the Playing For Change group:
The Weight | Featuring Ringo Starr and Robbie Robertson | Playing For Change | Song Around The World
“The Weight,” features Ringo Starr and The Band's original member Robbie Robertson, along with musicians across 5 continents. Great songs can travel everywhe...

I would also suggest taking a listen to Robbie Robertson's self-titled solo record. He has Peter Gabriel, U2, The BoDeans and Maria McKee as guests on it. I love the record.

Yeah for sure.
