Hargus "Pig" Robbins passes

Post by Ridgegrass »

"Pig" Robbins died January 30th at 84. He was one of Nashville's most prolific sidemen, playing piano on hits by George Jones, Kenny Rogers, Bob Dylan, Patsy Cline and many more. "Pig" was born blind. There is a nice article about his career at legacy.com.[b
Rest in peace. J.O'.

RIP ::pray::

I love to hear about people with a severe disability that dont let it stop them from being great.

Tragically he wasn’t born blind. A knife accident at tge age of 3 robbed him of his sight! OMG! Thats horrible!.

Didn't know that. The obit I saw said blind from birth. Thanks.

The great songster and writer Dallas Frazier also passed this month. So many monster hits he had. Elvira, Tell It Like It Is, 14 Karat Mind and hundreds more. R.I.P.
