LONDON -- Richard Wright, a founding member of the rock group Pink Floyd, died Monday. He was 65.
Pink Floyd's spokesman Doug Wright, who is not a relative, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He says the band member's family did not want to give more details about his death.
Very strange to read this because I listened to the albums "Meddle" and "Wish You Were Here" this morning.
MIKE...THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE AIR BECAUSE I WAS LISTENING TO DARK SIDE OF THE MOON AND WAS SINGING RICHARD'S PART ON THE SONG TIME...YES INDEED VERY STRANGE......
If you come across a copy, snag up Richard's first solo album "Wet Dream". I know, nice title . Seriously though, this is a fantastic solo album. And you can hear a LOT of the Floyd sound on this album. In particular, those spacey and ethereal sounding keyboards. The cd is out of print and is now going for $80+ but snag the vinyl. If you're a Floyd fan, you won't be disappointed.
