Re: RIP Richard Wright Pink Floyd
I'm really pleased that some tributes are being planned to a guy David Gilmour described as his musical partner and friend. Rick's contributions to the whole Floyd phenomenon are often under-rated but as David says on his website:
"I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked".
