Great Gig Players In The Sky

Richard Wright of Pink Floyd, who died this week at age 65 was one of those guys that contributed to a band's legacy but rarely got the acclaim of the better known members. Think John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin or John McVie of Fleetwood Mac and many others. Wright's keyboards played a part in the Floyd legacy on their 70's albums. So, while others got the press he like many others toiled away without the big press write-ups. But he was for the hardcore fans. And those are the ones who will mourn most.
