Today, we celebrate what would have been the 80th birthday of a true musical legend, Richard Wright. As the visionary keyboardist of Pink Floyd, Wright's beautiful soundscapes and exploratory harmonies played an integral part in creating the band's distinct, immersive sound.
From the dreamy chords in 'Us and Them' to the hypnotic textures of 'Echoes', Wright's contributions were the heart of Pink Floyd's psychedelic canvas, creating a sonic backdrop against which the band painted their legendary, era-defining music. He was not just a keyboard player; he was a sound explorer, a space weaver, and an ethereal architect of Pink Floyd's iconic sound.
Wright may have departed this world, but his legacy continues to live on, touching the hearts of millions, inspiring countless musicians, and reshaping the landscape of rock music as we know it. Today, we remember and honour him. Happy birthday, Richard Wright. #RichardWright #PinkFloyd

Re: Happy 80th Birthday Richard Wright
Indeed, Rick for me created PF sound more than any other member, even David's guitar.
