The Band

We had to bid a fond farewell to Levon Helm not too long ago.

While growing up, I knew of a band called The Band and specifically remember Up On Cripple Creek.

With most of the 1960s & 1970s rock I had bought, I was getting the music I remembered from childhood. The chance to buy The Best of The Band CD came my way and I graciously made room for it in my collection.


Among the great songs on the CD are Twilight and The Shape I'm In.

The Band covered a Motown classic in their own way and I will miss Levon Helm for the song below.
