THE LAST WALTZ (1978) Grade: B
Loved Scorsese camera movements & the stage sets were an interesting move. I looked forward to the interviews. Good documentary even if you're not familiar with their music.

Ronnie “The Hawk” Hawkins Dead at 87
“The Hawk” has flown.
Ronnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, the U.S.-born, Canadian-based rockabilly singer who brought together the group that became the Band, has died.
Hawkins was 87 and died May 29 after a long illness, his wife, Wanda, told the Canadian Press.
“He went peacefully and he looked as handsome as ever,” Wanda Hawkins told the CP.
“Heaven just got rompin',” Sebastian Bach tweeted, a reference to Hawkins’ other nickname, Rompin’ Ronnie.
Over his decades-long career, musicians including Roy Buchanan and Pat Travers passed through his band, the Hawks. But Hawkins is best known as the man who brought together the band - Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson - that became the Band.
“My heart sank when I heard ‘the Hawk’ just flew into the sunset,” Robertson said in a statement.
“Ronnie was the godfather. The one who made this all happen.”
Burton Cummings said Hawkins’ Mary Lou was the inspiration for the Guess Who’s “No Time” and said, “it was virtually impossible ever to find anyone who didn't like Ronnie.”
“He could always make you howl with laughter. … He'll be sorely missed by so many,” Cummings wrote on Twitter.

Quote of the Day
“Ninety percent of what I made went to women, whiskey, drugs and cards. I guess I just wasted the other 10 percent.”

A post to mark the death of Ronnie Hawkins. An American transplant to Canada, he was one of the founders of rockabilly. While he never became a big star, he mentored many others who did. Here is a 2005 tribute video, and his performance of “Who Do You Love?” at The Band’s Last Waltz concert/film. ____________________________ Who Do You Love? Songwriter: Bo Diddley
I walked miles of barbed wire, use a cobra snake for a necktie Got a brand-new house on the roadside, made from rattlesnake hide Got a brand-new chimney made on top, made from a human skull Come on, Robbie, let's take a little walk, tell me who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love?
Arlene took me by the hand, Says "Who are you, Ricky? I understand"
Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love?
Come on, Robbie! I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind I've turned I don't mind dyin'
Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love?
I ride around the county and use a rattlesnake whip Take it easy, Garth, don't you give me no lip
Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love?

Hoy domingo por la mañana ha muerto a los 87 años Ronnie Hawkins, el rockero norteamericano mudado a Canadá en 1958 que reclutó para su banda a un jovencísimo Levon Helm (un pipiolo en el vídeo de “May Lou”) y a los canadienses Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel y Garth Hudson. 
El seudónimo principal de Hawkins era “The Hawk” y sus músicos pasaron a ser The Hawks, más tarde universalmente conocidos como The Band.
¿Inventó Hawkins el famoso paso “Moonwalk” que Michael Jackson haría famoso muchos años más tarde? Él desde luego lo hacía, pero parece que se trata de un paso más viejo que la polka que algunos artistas apuntaban ya desde los años veinte.
