Questlove Pays Tribute To Robin Williams
. With a photo of Williams from Mork & Mindy, The Roots drummer started his Instagram post by writing, "Man. The smallest gesture can mean the world to you. Robin Williams made such an impact on me and didn't even know it." Questlove explains that at the 2001 GRAMMYS, Williams got into the elevator with the Roots and "named checked all of us." Questlove says the band had to ride the elevator to the backstage area and they all piled inside. "When suddenly this voice just said 'questlove�..black thought�.rahzel�.the roots from Philadelphia!!!!' That's right you walked on this elevator saying to yourself 'ain't no way this old white dude knows my entire history and discography'�.we laughed so hard. That NEVER happened to [us] before," he wrote. "A legend acknowledged us and really knew who we were (his son put him on to us) man it was a small 2 min moment in real life but that meant the world to me at the time," Questlove wrote. "Everytime I saw him afterwards he tried to top his trivia knowledge on all things Roots associated. Simply because he knew that meant everything to me. May his family find peace at this sad time. I will miss Robin Williams. #RIP." More. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
