Yes.....

A strange thing is I was just talking about him to a co-worker last week a day or two before he died in reference to people doing what they love to do in life.

Most people out of the philly area have no idea who he is/was. My co- worker said "Robert who"?
Personally, I became familiar with him as a result of being a big Cyndi Lauper fan.

BTW, Cyndi issued this statment prominently on her site:

I was thinking about getting "Troubadour" before his passing.
