“He was the Genie, he was bigger than life,”Musker said. “We didn’t know if he would do it. And fortunately for us, he did. We were totally walking down the plank. If he said no, we were going to be in big trouble because the whole concept was built around Robin. Fortunately he agreed to do it, and he worked so hard. We would record in four-hour sessions. He would be going four hours straight. We would have practically four hours of recording and by the end he was just drenched. He would have so much energy and so much passion.”

Williams took his own life on August 11, 2014 at the age of 63. The actor was found after hanging himself at his California home. The actor had been suffering from severe depression.
