Wow, we have lost another great. RIP Keith Emerson. Keith was, arguably, the best keyboardist of the classic rock era. I was careful not to say "pianist" as there is some competition there. But who else had such mastery of the Hammond organ and Moog synthesizer? It's a short list to be sure.
Keith started out in England with the The Nice and shortly thereafter formed on the best prog rock bands ever, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. Here is the first song off of the first album they recorded together. This is actually a live version that includes some great video of Emerson practicing his craft.
