In memory of Rick Danko!

December 29, 1943 – December 10, 1999

The Band / Rick Danko

December 29, 1943 – December 10, 1999

Rick was a singer and Bass player for The Band!

On December 10, 1999, Rick Danko died as he had lived...simply, without fanfare, pomp or pretense. If the tears, prayers and tributes that followed are any indication, this country boy whose goal was to "help the neighborhood" certainly succeeded. The world is a much better place because of Rick Danko, and a much sadder one without him.

~Carol Caffin~

"I think Rick was one of the greatest and most soulful singers I've ever heard. Definitely, the most original bass player I've ever heard, and one of the kindest hearts to have ever graced this planet."

~Robbie Robertson~

"To brighten the future we must illuminate the past."
