The Black Crowes‘ and Chris Robinson Brotherhood (CRB)‘s Chris Robinson celebrates his 56th today. Robinson is one of the most soulful white guys on the face of the earth — and if you don’t believe me, check out The Black Crowes cover of The Temptations‘ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone.”
Happy birthday, Chris!
