This is on the Bee Gees thread, too, but with all these half-assed Bee-Gees-obits-with-a-Few-Lines-About-Robin I've been seeing, I figured some solo Robin was appropriate here. If there's a more beautiful song than this, I haven't heard it:

The "How Old Are You" album is a bit underrated, actually.
RIP Robin, a unique talent. I hope his solo work from the '69-'70 gets properly reissued but I fear a lot of it's probably gone or else only exists on scratchy acetates. Feel for poor old Barry, the oldest and the last.

Wow, I had been scarcely aware of Robin's solo work until now! I should know. I'll have to put it on my list!

He sounds like a folk singer to me! I mean, as in Mike Waterson not Bob Dylan or whatever.
