Reelin’ in the Years 182: Easy Livin’ – RIP Ken Hensley

So this week it was Ken Hensley, keyboardist and chief songwriter for the metal band Uriah Heep, who has died.
I have featured the band twice before with Rain, which Hensley wrote, and Come Away Melinda.
They never troubled the British charts much (a no 76 and a no 85, both in 1983) but had more success in Germany.
This song was their first and biggest hit in the US. More representative of their œuvre I would say.

Kenneth William David (Ken) Hensley: 24/8/1945 – 4/11/2020. So it goes.
