Dave Robbins was a monster on keys. I think it was Howard University Homecoming in 1979 or 1980 when his band David Robbins Quintent opened for Patti LaBelle @ Crampton and they literally stole the show. Wendell Williamson, WHUR DJ on sundays did a bass solo that rocked the building--especially when he started plucking the bass with his teeth. We were worn out by the time Patti took the stage I last spoke to Dave when he was in the studio in ATL with the Black Eyed Peas (?) about 4 years ago.

Please post more vids of Dave if you have them. It was great having him in the DC area for years sharing his talents. He also used to play a Hagstrom bass on an original cut called 3 or 4 basses, can't remember how many but it was on the yard at Howard back in the day (1979?)
