Definitely one of the greats. So much good music benefited from his "decorating of the cake".

Rest in peace Roy. The world will listen to you forever.

I loved him. If Candy O was the only album he ever produced, he should still be famous just for that. Of course there were many others.  A gifted man.

A titan in the industry. I had the pleasure/displeasure of attending a mixing session with him. Pleasure, because it was informative, exhilarating, and educational. Displeasure because RTB mixed at a SPL that even seasoned rock musicians found alarming. I’m going to pull out some of his work and crank it up now. 

Quite a talent. So many influential bands and songs. Bohemian Rhapsody changed my whole perception of what a rock song could be when I was a teenager. RIP.
