Robert Broderick James 'Robbie' McIntosh was born on 5th May 1950 in Dundee.
Aged just 17, Robbie became a member of The Senate, Scotland���s leading soul band, then came stints with The Primitives and The Piranhas.
He then joined The Brian Auger Trinity whose biggest hit was This Wheel’s On Fire. They performed on Top Of The Pops and film of them performing the song regularly pops up on BBC4’s Friday night musical history programmes.
Robbie also played on the Chuck Berry hit My Ding A Ling before linking up with AWB. The Average White Band’s breakthrough was a support slot at Eric Clapton’s comeback concert in 1973. Bruce McCaskill, Eric Clapton’s tour manager, liked AWB’s music and agreed to manage them.
He borrowed money to take them to the US and to promote them.
Liverpudlian McCaskill had many contacts from his days with Clapton and managed to get Atlantic Records to sign the band.
AWB relocated to Los Angeles and released The White Album which was such a big seller that it reached No 1 in the charts.
However, right at the heart of his hard earned fame, Robbie died. after taking heroin at a party. According to a contemporary report in Time magazine, McIntosh and fellow band member Alan Gorrie took what they thought was cocaine, but was in fact heroin; Gorrie was saved by the intervention of fellow party-goer Cher, who kept him conscious long enough to recover. The party host, 30-year-old millionaire Kenneth Moss, was subsequently indicted for murder by a grand jury. Moss pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 120 days in jail and four years' probation. McIntosh is buried in Barnhill Cemetery, Dundee. His replacement as drummer in the AWB was Steve Ferrone. He will forever be remembered as one of the finest soul drummers the world has ever seen.

My Guitar Gently Weeps
I must be the last person on earth to see this: a line-up of all star musicians play a tribute to George Harrison with his My Guitar Gently Weeps. This was for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2004—George was being inducted posthumously, and, as luck would have it, Prince, very much alive, was also going in that year.
In the video, Tom Petty runs the show, relaxed and cool with his distinctive voice and 12-string guitar; Jeff Lynne shares vocal duties. Steve Winwood plays the Hammond at the back of the stage, with his collaborator, Jim Capaldi, doing various percussion—Traffic was also being inducted that fateful evening.
This is all going along wonderfully, with Jeff Lynne's guitarist, Marc Mann, emulating Clapton of the original Beatles version of the song. There are other personnel* I'm not listing here, but I do notice, to Petty's left, someone who I naively thought resembled a young George Harrison. (I would later find out this was Dhanni Harrison, George's son.) In any case, I've always had an affinity for George's contributions to the Beatles oeuvre and thought this could not get any better. And then Prince appears.
He'd been standing off to the side, strumming a guitar, barely noticeable, but now moves toward center stage. Dhanni is nodding and smiling widely as he moves into place, seemingly knowing what is about to happen. As most people on the planet are aware, Prince then goes on to execute an amazing, nearly three-minutes long solo to finish off the song—and tosses his guitar into the air with a flourish. My mouth was probably agape.
It's difficult to grasp really, the size, the scope of this event. People use the word "epic" now and again, but it should only be utilized for something of this magnitude. Now that we've lost Prince, Tom Petty, the lesser-known Capaldi as well, it's all the more valuable.
*Jeff Young on piano; and members of Petty’s Heartbreakers, Scott Thurston (bass), and Steve Ferrone (drums).
