2005: Ronnie Hawkins Tribute Video

[@Edie45]

R.I.P. Ronnie. Those of us who had the pleasure of growing up with your music will never forget you, your humour and your dedication to the music we love. My sincere condolences to your family and your fans.

Ronnie Hawkins appearance on the Last Waltz is the fuse that sets that show off.

[@joeyd1957]

No doubt about that.

[@martinmcdonald4207]

The Hawk was the fuse that set it all off. R.I.P. Legend.

[@cedarshoals529]

Im at an age where I am starting to re-discover musicians that that have long ago been relegated to the dust bin of history. Its incredibly interesting to start to see the connections and influences. I had totally forgotten about Ronnie's rockabilly days and his influences on so many other artists and genres. Boggles the mind to realize that much of the music that became iconic wouldn't even exist without this man's influence.

[@pattiroos238]

i am in total agreement. a seemingly minor character with an immense contribution. not minor character at all. thank you ronnie!

[@rosellacestarioli921]

Avevo 12 anni quando ascoltavo le sue canzoni ne sono passati di anni però mi piace sempre ascoltarlo

RIP LEGEND

[@ericablue32]

I know this may sound stupid, but I have ALWAYS wanted to party with this guy! I love me some Ronnie Hawkins!!!

[@ricky4200]

I have partied with him many times. My father played with him for year. He has more notes then a Hammond organ as he would say

[@LesBarber]

Erica the Party never stopped, Ronnie would rent a Motel Suites on the Lakeshore and rock the night away, his Rolls Royce Silver Cloud would pull up outside a Club/Bar called Le Coq D'or and automatic pilot to the Motel. lol

[@ricky4200]

@@LesBarber hah Oo I know. My father played there many times with him.

“Music is Music” truer words never spoken except to say “Canada is Gods Country” Smart man🇨🇦

[@billvallier3852]

So glad the Hawk stayed in his adopted home, Canada.

[@marjoryrainey287]

RONNIE THE hawk is so kool!

[@xxllbb55]

thats what we said in the 60's = "RACKET TIME "

[@terrancearnold8530]

Lord, please watch after Ronnie Hawkins.AMEN >

[@cabellmercer]

The fact that the narrator skipped the names of Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Garth Hudson was disappointing. Otherwise it's a well done video.

[@rogerw-interested]

theres a lot to cover of the hawks life, cant include everyone in a 5 min vid

[@amandamiller7476]

Actually levon Helm was from arkansas too. He started playing drums for Ronnie way back before he graduated high school.his parents told him he could go on tour with Ronnie as soon as he finished school and thats what he did the rest of the band aside from levon was later let go and replaced with the local musicians from Canada Robbie Robertson,Rick Danco,Garth Hudson,Richard Manual .

[@davidlarue1264]

Yea, Levon's parents insisted he finish high school so he'd have something to fall back on if the music thing didn't work out. Seems funny now.

[@houstonrebel4449]

Thank you for that info. I always wondered how Levon got connected with The Band/The Hawks and how the Hawks got connected with Ronnie. Being they were both from Arkansas and the band being from Canada. I was hoping they'd explain it here but glad I read the comments. TY.

[@bradc32]

the Hawk!

[@vgr112261]

Long live The Hawk!

[@annettehonickman9069]

Ronnie Hawkins. . .Great!!. Thanks to Harold Kudlats for booking him into all the places to play!

[@Stewbular]

Thanks But I hate narrators stepping on the music

[@ledrotten]

Hawkin . . .

[@stevenwiederholt7000]

There are many many many things I don't understand. Fairly near the top in Why isn't Ronnie Hawkins in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame! This says a great deal about them, and none of it good.

[@rogerw-interested]

correct, lots of questionable picks over the yrs

[@stevenwiederholt7000]

@@rogerw-interested Its become a marketing ploy. And maybe it always was. I've watched Some of the introductions, and looking at those attending, Lot of very nice suits gowns, and think "This is Rock & Roll?" Where Have All he Rebels Gone? Van Morrison.

[@infonut]

@@stevenwiederholt7000 ... yes. first marketing then politicizing then destroying. All of it is just manipulation.

[@rossmcmilan3853]

Kid Rock said it best!

[@Anthony-hu3rj]

The Hawks did NOT go to the US to back up Bob Dylan in 1963! 1:40. Lord.
