Robbins gave us some of the biggest hits of his time, including “El Paso” and “My Woman, My Woman, My Wife.”

Another one of Robbins’ hit songs was “Ribbon of Darkness.” But did you know it wasn’t written by him? It was actually written by Canadian folk singer and songwriter Gordon Lightfoot.

Robbins released his version of “Ribbon of Darkness” in 1965. It went on to become his 11th chart-topping single.
