The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
To start this week, we have Emerson, Lake & Palmer with their 1973 hit, "Still... You Turn Me On" from their "Brain Salad Surgery" album.
From Wikipedia:
Emerson, Lake & Palmer (informally known as ELP) were an English progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The band consisted of Keith Emerson (keyboards) of the Nice, Greg Lake of King Crimson (vocals, bass, guitar, producer) and Carl Palmer of Atomic Rooster (drums, percussion). With nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the US, and an estimated 48 million records sold worldwide, they are one of the most popular and commercially successful progressive rock groups of the 1970s, with a musical sound including adaptations of classical music with jazz and symphonic rock elements, dominated by Emerson's flamboyant use of the Hammond organ, Moog synthesizer, and piano (although Lake wrote several acoustic songs for the group).
Both Emerson and Lake died in 2016, leaving Palmer as the only surviving member of the band.
Emerson died of a self-inflicted gunshot and Lake died of cancer.
Keith Emerson was one of three composers who contributed to the soundtrack for the Japanese kaiju film Godzilla Final Wars (2004) for Toho Pictures.
