News to me. The book Testimony by Robbie Robertson (of the Band) details his loyalty to his Cosa Nostra gangster Uncles Morrie and Natie Klegerman as he went to sit in the front rows of the public seating at the trial, to show them he cared and didn’t want them to feel all alone. They were siblings of his father Alexander, a gambler who died before Robbie was born. Robbie died August 9, 2023 at the age of 80.
$50 million net worth partly from song royalties and from Martin Scorsese film scores and music supervision. In posthumous book Insomnia about him and the director.
