Richard Wright RIP
July 28 1943 - September 15 2008
Richard William Wright (28 July 1943 - 15 September 2008) was a self-taught pianist and keyboardist best known for his long career with Pink Floyd. Though not as prolific a songwriter as his bandmates Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and David Gilmour, he wrote significant parts of the music for classic albums such as Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, as well as for Pink Floyd's final studio album The Division Bell. Wright’s richly textured keyboard layers were a vital ingredient and a distinctive characteristic of Pink Floyd's sound. In addition, Wright frequently sang background and occasionally lead vocals onstage and in the studio with Pink Floyd (most notably on the songs "Time", "Echoes", and on the Syd Barrett composition "Astronomy Domine").

today, we have truly lost a great man in the field of music. i advise all of u to go listen to pink Floyd, they made some of the best music I've ever
heard.
May his soul rest in piece, he deserves it.
I never really listened to Pink Floyd but I know enough to not call it a hard rock band (like many students of CHS do because they're dumbasses).
Not listening does not mean I don't feel sad myself. Hearing a friend sad makes me sad and so, Sam, I share in your grief.
thx bro
