It's got a bit of that typical Anglo Scot Irish "grit" common to rock singers of the era, and smoothness, and depth and and and God I wished I could sing like him back then (1972), playing bass in a Sabbath cover band and hacking around with a guitar, trying to figure it out on me own. I couldn't. I dare say I was pretty enough for the gig, maybe even prettier than Greg, , but I didn't have the talent, or mentors, or didn't put in the time. All of the above. But lately I have. Figured it all out. Put in the time. Bass, guitar, vocals, piano, text, music. Alas, the era's long past, for that type of music. And I sure ain't pretty no more. marktarmannsoundcloud. if you'd like to check it out. You'll notice "you're mine on summer daze" in particular comes out of the ELP sound.

He wrote “Lucky Man” at the age of 12 or 13. When they produced their first album, they needed 1 more song to complete the album. Greg pulled out Lucky Man and they polished it for the album. Keith had just gotten his Moog synth. The riff at the end was just something he came up with off the cuff. Luckily, he engineered had tape rolling and captured the riff. The rest, as they say, is Rock’n’Roll history.

The fact that it's on a 12 string guitar and he's chewing gum while singing is amazing to me, not to mention that he's doing it in front of thousands and thousands of people. He made it all look so easy. All our wonderful musicians are leaving us. But now they are playing and singing in God Choir and Band and you all know it's beautiful.

Talented beyond belief, he wrote the melody and lyrics to Lucky Man at the age of 12 (!!), shortly after getting his first guitar. I am so grateful to have grown up in the 70s when you could hear *real* music like this when it was released, brand new. ELP's music and musicianship is far superior to today's "music." It's incredibly sad that so many talented musicians have left this earth, but we can be very thankful they've left us their amazing musical legacy to enjoy forever.

Hi Cornflower Blue... I never realized how popular this song was and is. I would lay on the carpet next to the big ole 70s turn table and stereo... and listen to this album for hours. Nobody in my family knew anything about muzik but me. When I 1st heard "Still You Turn Me On"... I wondered why I never heard it only radio. This should've been a top 10 hit. "GREG LAKE" playing this solo on acoustic makes it sound like a full band - no f/X, no gimmicks... just a man and his guitar. PHENOMENAL!! RIP.😮

@@lesterpaul9657 first of all, I’ve been a musician playing guitar and bass for 17 years. I consider myself pretty well-versed in wide varieties of music. I mean underrated in the sense that he’s not generally name-dropped enough in certain circles. Many people from my generation are not aware of his skill and talents. In prog, of course ELP is on Mt. Rushmore. But to the general populace Greg is not referenced as much as say, Chris Squire or Geddy Lee. It’s an anecdotal observation, but it’s been my experience.

@harrychapin8084 ай бұрын
Morrison couldn't touch Greg Lake, vocally!! Jim Morrison was not a musician. AND I'm a huge "DOORS " fan. Morrison was a poet and lyricist who developed a decent singing voice . If you read "ARTHUR RIMBAUD" (A Season in Hell / Illuminations), you'll come across many similarities to Morrison's on-stage behavior as well as some quotes. Nietzsche too, of course... but his behavior mimicks some of what Rimbaud wrote. In his youth, Rimbaud was WILD! Rimbaud was finished writing by 19 or 20. If he'd continued living a wild lifestyle... he would've been dead long before age 37; that's why he quit. Though Morrison died of a heroin overdose, it's doubtful he would've survived more than another year. The alcohol was killing him. He was coughing/spitting blood toward during his last weeksin Paris. When the liver starts failing the alcohol causes esophageal varices, which leads to spiiting blood while coughing. Means Jim probably had cirrhosis of the liver. Liver couldn't process alcohol quickly enough so that combined with stomach and liver chemicals start eating at esophagus; ulcers will develop; and veins will expand due to high blood pressure. Jim was on his way out.
