Keith Emerson of ELP.....Rest in Peace!


We've lost another great one today, Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer ( ELP ).  Sad as he was not very old.  A great keyboard player.  He, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer were way ahead of their time I always thought.  The way they mixed jazz and classical with rock was amazing.  I know what I'll be doing later today/tonight; listening to "Fanfare For The Common Man", Works Vol. I., etc. Rest in peace Keith, and thank you for the great songs and memories.

Thank you for letting us know. I was in high school when ELP were at their peak, but I still enjoy their albums today. Saw them one time, August Jam, 1974, Charlotte Motor Speedway, 400,000 people, not ideal venue, but enjoyed it nonetheless. RIP.
Keith Emerson is a genius, probably playing with Chris Squire now.
I never saw ELP alive. My loss, really sad.

Thanks, Keith & Chris for your incredible music :)
