Richard Wright (1943-2008)

PF

Richard Wright is no more. Wright was one of the founding members of the mythical band, Pink Floyd, which kept a whole generation at breath with their unique unrestrained psychedelic music. This is sad, this is history dying, for Pink Floyd was no mere band. They were (are, I should say, for such bands are eternal..) no less than the Beatles or Elvis, in their own right. Richard was the pianist or the keyboard magician of the band. The rich and textured tunes he grew off his keys brought a very distinct trait to Pink Floyd’s music. He also made vocal sounds for many tracks.

I don’t have much to say. I just wanted to pay tribute to the man. Am a fan, a huge fan of Pink Floyd and Wright’s departure leaves an emptiness behind.

..wish you were here.. .
