RIP Greg Lake!

I was only watching him perform with Asia in Japan in 1983 on YouTube last night. Very talented man. The end-of-year party upstairs is going to be unreal with all the people who have passed away this year.
 
I believe in Father Christmas is my favourite Christmas song and some of the ELP stuff I was brought up listening to. RIP Greg.
 
Very sad news.

My all time favourite is the original "Lucky Man".

Probably because it brings back fond memories of one my late brothers.

He had a great record collection, and we used to go back to his after the pub or club and he'd put on Lucky Man and turn the volume up really loud for the synthesiser bit. His wife always told him to turn it down - only to gradually turn it back up again when she left the room! :D

Great times. :cheers:
 
Apparently (heard this on the radio last night) a lady wrote into the Times asking if writing a Christmas hit secured a lifetime of leisure. Greg Lake replied to it saying that the royalty cheque was nice to receive every September but it does not buy an island in the sun.
