After the sad passing of legendary comic and actor Robin Williams, NOVAFM put together this tribute piece to remember some of Robin's best moments across the decades.

Robin Williams tribute - A Sky Full of Stars

Robin Williams was my favorite comedian. 

Like the rest of the world, I admired Robin and the work he created. After hearing of his passing my thoughts turned to a sonata I wrote for him in 1999 after being so moved by his cumulative legacy. I wanted terribly to get this song to him at the time but had no idea how to as I'd have been just one of his millions of fans. 

In any case, today I share that song I wrote for Robin with the world. It's a classical piece - one that may not be easily digested. I hope I was able to tap into his brilliance... and perhaps some of the pain.

The song is available for download on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sonata-17-for-robin-williams/id1019404531 and Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013RKL3UA/ref=dm_ws_ap_tlw_alb113

Sonata 17 For Robin Williams

Words and Music by Joseph Arthur 
August 12th, 2014

You started out on Ork
A cosmic jet fueled dork
And I would love it when you 
Visited us on happy days
Only you could know
The witness of your show
A brain made up of sadness
And electric rays
Good morning Vietnam
Must've been your truest song
For in you was a war you'd always wage
The hunting of good will
The laughs would never fill
Your hunger for the dream
To turn the page

Oh Robin you flew
And now robin you fly
To places we can't see or yet conceive 
The joy that you gave
We know now was brave
To be free and yet 
remain still a slave

The fisher king was you
Those of us never knew
That your demons hadn't yet been tamed
You hid in the storm
Of laughter so warm
Hard to see that the source
Was still maimed 
Awakenings will come
But the sadness goes on
And age will come down on us all
The dead poets you loved
Wrote of it as they shoved
Light into the darkness of the fall

Oh Robin you flew
And now robin you fly
To places we can't see or yet conceive 
The joy that you gave
We know now was brave
To be free and yet remain 
still a slave

Robin (A Tribute to Robin Williams 1951-2014)

I used two pianos and had a lot of fun improvising over the bass line in this his track from my album, The Bowie Variations.

Fortune Smiles (Keith Jarret)

The best way to express my sorrow is through music. This song, “A Tribute to David,” is very important to me. I recorded it in 2011 for my Bowie Variations album and haven’t performed it since. While the whole album was variations on David’s music, this one meant the most to me because I wrote it for him. It’s how I felt about David in musical terms. Though there’s no doubt I have more music for David coming, this is what I have to offer this morning. Please feel free to share this with others and respond with your memories, thoughts and feelings.

All Blues (Miles Davis)

November 13, 2016 - Today, once again heaven welcomes another musical genius. Leon Russell was one of my strong influences for pop music in 1970. I was in an opening act band called Brethren with Rick Marotta on drums ,Tommy Cosgrove vocals and Stu Woods bass. We opened for both Joe Cocker and Mad Dogs and Englishman who had Leon Russell playing piano and organ. I watched Leon many nights and it was pure joy. Both his voice and piano playing were so very inspiring.

In the early 90s, on one of my jazz albums called JAZZ HAT, I covered my favorite song of Leon's called "Song for You" which is a true classic. My version of the song was quite jazzy and out there. Very few people have ever my version because jazz albums hardly sell! Ha!

So here is my tribute to a beautiful artist…

Jazz Hat

A Song For You

I wanted to share a little piano solo version of Imagine i just did in honor of John Lennon - such a truly inspiring artist. We have lost so many great artists over the years - especially this year. I think we have no alternative but to make many new ones. Imagine...
