Really sorry to hear this news. Another one of the greats gone. Hugely talented but also a really nice man. Deepest sympathies to his loved ones. RIP.

Full article, Telegraph, 21/05/12. Just thought I would share this as I had no idea that they were responsible for so many of those hits.

They made some fantastic songs over the years, and in my opinion E.S.P is one of their best albums, if not the best. RIP Robin, he seemed like such a nice man, so sorry for Barry who is the only brother left now.

Robin's star shone very brightly, what a pity it has gone I'm so sorry for his family - his last illness has been such a long process --------------------

Fans lined the streets to say a final goodbye as they watched a procession of family and friends which even Robin's dogs took part in I thought that was so sweet. Short clip here form the BBC website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18370919

I will never forget watching him on that show. He had such a wonderful manner ... always polite, always with a kind word for all the contestants, always helpful, always softly-spoken and no big-headedness whatsoever. A great man. RIP.
