Levon Helm passed away yesterday - he was the drummer and singer for The Band and recently, he enjoyed a revival in the Folk/Americana vineyard, with his 2007 and 2010 records winning Grammy Awards.
I'm watching The Last Waltz now and were it not for Muddy Waters and Van Morrison, Levon would have been the star of the show.
Helm enjoyed an eclectic acting career, even playing Loretta Lynn's father in Coal Miner's Daughter, even though he is only 9 1/2 years older than Sissy Spacek, who played Lynn (Lynn's real father was 28 when she was born).
