RIP Rob,

He died July 11, 2011 in an Orlando, Florida hospital. He had been in a coma since sustaining a head injury several weeks earlier when he fell after suffering a stroke in northern California. He was 67.

The bass line to "Midnight Confessions" is one of the most immediately recognizable bass lines in rock history... He was a solid player.... R.I.P. Rob

While not a friend, I had the pleasure of meeting Rob at a wedding several years ago. He was a very friendly, outgoing, and down to earth person. He will be missed by all who knew him.

The Grassroots definitely played some well-crafted Pop tunes.
