The grim reaper continues to add to his toll of musical entertainment figures in 2016 with the passing of Greg Lake.

Not sure he was still with King Crimson when I first saw them live in the early seventies but well remember an ELP gig at Leicester Square round about the time of the release of Tarkus.

RIP Greg Lake, you are the Lucky Man.
Two thirds of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer left us in 2016.

Talent shown here...

Sad news indeed. Another victim to cancer.
Many Happy memories of King Crimson and ELP, such great innovative and imaginative music.
He will be missed by many.

Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Agreed Ian... & for many, I believe in Father Christmas will be his legacy for a long time to come
