Whenever I see Robbie Robinson's name, it brings to mind the video when he was on stage with Eric Clapton. Eric's guitar strap came loose during a solo but luckily Eric caught it before it smacked the floor. Without hesitation and without a missed beat, Robbie took over the solo until Eric could resume. Robbie was a great musician and songwriter/producer. R.I.P. Robbie.

not only did he take over, but he totally killed it....the look on ECs face when he rips into it.......incredible moment in rock history......RIP
Sad news. All of our heroes are slipping away from us, one by one. Thankfully, their music lives on.
RIP, Robbie Robertson.
