Ronnie and Wanda Hawkins arrive for the Canadian Music Industry Awards in Toronto, Thursday, March 8, 2007. LOS ANGELES — Ronnie Hawkins, the Southern rockabilly singer who helped shape and launch the Band and other Canadian rock artists, died Sunday after battling a long-term illness. He was 87.
The Arkansas native began touring in Ontario in 1958. By the time he was featured in a CBC Telescope documentary, he was beloved by Canadian artists and audiences. As one of the early pioneers and legends of that instinctive combination of country soul and blues known as rockabilly, Hawkins’ catalog spans a unique hybrid of rustic sounds as he worked with many bands over the years. However, it was The Band’s specific five who would help establish the Hawk’s reputation in music lore.
