When Robbie King passed away in October of 2003. Vancouver lost one of its most brilliant, colourful and best loved musicians. Robbie’s session credits included a who’s who of national and international stars, including Bryan Adams, Alice Cooper, Metallica, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Tina Turner, Jerry Doucette, Jim Byrnes, the Hometown Band, Powder Blues, to name but a few.
In addition to his innumerable sessions as a keyboard player and producer, Robbie King was arguably Canada’s foremost voice on the Hammond organ. His approach to voicings, harmony and syncopation were always unique. This album presents him for the first as a leader, in a trio setting playing just the Hammond with guest appearances by some very talented musical friends.
Aero has decided to release this album, with part proceeds from its sale benefiting the Robbie King Fund-to aid musicians who are experiencing hard times.

Showtime In The Main Lounge
author: Gord James
Robbie King was possessed of a gift. He shared it everytime he sat at Laurens Hammond's marvelous music box. Those of you who knew him, played with him or saw him play have those memories. Those of us who didn't have just had our appetites whetted by Robbie and the musicians named above. This CD will give you a new standard to judge who you think is a player and who you think is a magician. There is no slight of hand (or feet) with Robbie King.
