Keith Emerson died earlier this year.
Greg Lake died on December 7th after “a stubborn battle with cancer“.
One of my favorite musicians, he was a genius song-writer. His music and work with both King Crimson and Emerson, Lake, & Palmer was really amazing. He deserves way more accolades than he gets in the music world.
RIP, Greg Lake.
God damn it, 2016!
This is my favourite Christmas tune of all time, by a very long way.
My favourite rendering of my favourite hymn.
…and if you go for sappy love songs, I can’t think of a better…
I loved his voice… he was a great musician.
I believe you meant “died last night” or another word. I would hate to think Carl Palmer died too.
(Quick check -- nope *whew*)
For those who weren’t fans and don’t know, Emerson (who died in March) did not have the same cause of death as Lake. I can’t say any more and be impassive.
Thanks for catching that, Intransitive. Also, that’s why I didn’t say how Keith died. That makes me livid. Fucking pathetic trolls…
To borrow from ELP, what lucky people we were to have their music.
For everyone… I did a bunch of posts on my Facebook page about Keith Emerson after he died. I never blogged about it, though, because of why he died.
So I’ll be doing a memorial post for both Keith and Greg in the near future.
Hopefully Carl Palmer will be around for a long time so I don’t have to do a full ELP memorial post…
