Heard the news today – the music world has lost Richard Wright, keyboard player for Pink Floyd.
Among the various musicians and groups I listen to, Pink Floyd are one of the oldest and most returned to influences. Richard Wright didn’t front the group like David Gilmour and Roger Waters did but it’s not just the frontman who does all the work, it’s the people playing the keyboards, setting up the synths, banging the drums, writing the songs.
So here’s to remembering Richard Wright, with a song from what was the biggest selling album of all time. May he always be dragged back for encores and never hit a bum note in that Great Gig In The Sky.
