Keith Emerson Band - Lucky Man

[@patrickdrury1480]

Super Cool. I listened to this song every morning, for 6 weeks, before I went to my radiation treatment for cancer. Cured! I was blessed. I am indeed, a Lucky Man. I just hope and pray My old GF and I reconnect.

I saw ELP in the Summer of 1969, on 500 mikes of Purple Microdot, and I lost 2 days. Carl Palmer used the big gongs a lot. Best concert ever. Even better than Led Zeppelin. Miss them days. Oh, to be 16 again.

Suicide is such a terribly sad way to go. I was shocked and I cried. I still do. Sometimes life is more than some can bear. That said, Keith left us some of the greatest music ever composed. Ethereal, heavenly, complex, heavy, and beautiful. He was a pilot, a motorcycle guy, and played in front of tens of 1000s of people. Traveled the globe. He lived a full life! I'm so grateful his music is here to bring us the joy it does. Miss you Keith AND Greg ❤ Im so glad Rachel flowers keeps the music alive

[@ronaldyakobchuk3460]

This is absolutely a stunning version. The timing in the music is so precise. A great tune!

Pisses me off when a guy like this dies and only at that point do I remember being a loyal fan who simply quit listening. Keith Emerson was painfully underrated... I was just listening to the Emerson Lake and Powell release.... His name might not be household but his music is and always will be. RIP Keith - No one mad at you for taking your life.Most of us truly understand my friend as living takes the life out of some of us. Thanks for everything KE.

[@edpritchard2318]

I was a firefighter who suffered a really bad injury which causes me pain. I had to give up my career, my hobby as a private pilot. While I can understand the reason he did it, but he had more then playing music. His beautiful wife and his family and friends. That being said, If I had know and was able to, I wish I could have changed his mind.

Kevin, and all: Go and dig up your favorite musician's email, websites, social accounts -- do everything you can to keep in touch and constantly write to them or post your comments on the media. Do not stop listening to your revered musician's works. Do all that you can to keep encouraging the great ones to keep creating and producing -- and continue to disseminate the love for each.

I don't think he was underrated, he & Rick Wakeman were widely considered the best keyboardists in rock.
