Robbie Robertson also wrote and/or directed the music for many of Martin Scorsese's most popular movies.

All of those Playing for Change videos are really great and well done. I need to Google to get some insight as to how they put them together, cannot imagine everyone in the world playing the same song at the same time, but sure looks like it on the video.

Levon Helm and Robbie Robertson may be the most interesting pairing in rock history.
