According to Levon Helm's autobiography, Robbie Robertson ripped off the
rest of the members of The Band for writing credits for a number of songs
including "The Weight". "The Last Waltz" is arguably the greatest rock and
roll concert film ever (and I concur)....and Levon Helm had one of the
finest, most unique voices ever. R.I.P. Levon.
