  • Not enough xylophone in todays music is there?

  • Thank goodness you said that!

    I AGREE!

    I used to play a lot of xylophone, and it was the most BEAUTIFUL instrument to play. It's such ashame it doesen't get used anymore!

    Music now SUX!

  • Mmm. Robert looking incredibly sexy rocking that leather sportcoat. Many reasons to miss him! I heart RP to the Nth degree.

  • Oh my God I haven't heard this for ages! Takes you back, doesn't it? RIP Robert.

  • Wonderful video, spectacular man! Love you,Robert! However, TOTP kept getting his age

    wrong. In 1980 he was only 31.
