Singer-guitarist Gil Robbins of the folk
group The Highwaymen has died. He died at his home in Esteban
Cantu, Mexico, at the age of 80. The news comes from the publicist
for actor-director Tim Robbins, who is Gil's son. The Highwaymen
had a number-one hit in 1961 with "Michael," their version of
"Michael, Row The Boat Ashore." Robbins joined the group the next
year and took them in a more political direction. They also hit
number 13 in 1962 with "Cotton Fields."
