Oh no. Only one left is Carl Palmer. Only nine months after Keith Emerson too.

Indeed. I saw him when he was with King Crimson at the old Fillmore East many brain cells ago. IIRC they were the opening act for Joe Cocker back in Nov 1969. Seats there $3.50-4.50 & 5.50. Two big acts backed with Joshuas' Lights made for a great show. Great bang for your buck back in those days.
Ironically enough, his biggest hit as a solo was a Christmas Tune called "Father Christmas" I believe was the title.
I'm sure we'll be hearing that a lot this season.

The title is "I Believe In Father Christmas". And he made a video for it.

They sped that song up. He sounds like Davey Jones and Lake's voice is deeper than that.

RIP

I liked this cut from his 1981 self-titled album. Really rocked out

Been trying to find that out. The edema makes me suspect liver, pancreas, kidney or suchlike.
