Yesterday afternoon, legendary rock and roll musician Levon Helm passed away at the age of 71 due to throat cancer - an illness he's been battling for several years. Best remembered as a member of the Canadian rock quintet The Band [Levon himself was born in Arkansas], he was one of the early drummers to take on lead vocals. His powerful southern voice has left behind amazing songs that others just can't duplicate. A major influence on many drummers and musical artists today, may he live on in those who admired him.
I encourage you to check this out as well.
Rest in peace, Levon.
