It's so fitting that Garth Hudson was the last man standing from the Band. The beloved organ virtuoso died on Tuesday morning at 87, near Woodstock - just a few miles down the road from Big Pink, the house where the Band and Bob Dylan transformed music history just by jamming in the basement.

The Canadian virtuoso, known for his solo on “Chest Fever,” gave the group a “sound twice as big” and his mates music lessons.

Garth Hudson, the multi-instrumentalist who served as the principal architect of the Band's sound, has died at 87.
