Richard Wright

I was sorry to hear about the death of Richard Wright of Pink Floyd through cancer.
He was one of the lesser sung of Pink Floyd’s members but integral to their development.
He’s probably most famous for writing the tune to The Great Gig In The Sky from The Dark Side Of The Moon but I suspect everybody’s going to put that up. (Johnny Walker played it as a tribute on Radio 2 this morning.)
Instead here, from Atom Heart Mother, is Summer of ’68 – which he wrote and which has a great bit of “rock”y piano from the man himself.

A sad demise, indeed…
Btw, I shall be around at SHS on Saturday. Thought I’d mention it in case you are. Leaving a note here as I don’t have an email, though you now have mine. S.
