Levon Helm in front of the sign in Marvel Arkansas.
Levon was born in the Philips County Arkansas town of Elaine.
He grew up in a tiny community called Turkey Scratch that was outside of Marvel.

The boyhood home of Mark Lavon "Levon" Helm.

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot, they say

In one of his last interviews Robbie Robertson said when Levon quit the band for the last time it was because he thought he should share more in the songwriter credits & money with Robbie. He went on to say he & Levon settled their differences before Levon passed. Now Robbie has passed also.

"Levon quit the band for the last time"
Robbie ended the band. Levon didn't quit. Very clear from many interviews Levon didn't want the band to end.

"settled their differences"
Not true either.
