Keith Emerson would have been 72 years old today. The inspirational keyboard player was one of the major figureheads of progressive rock, first as a founding member of The Nice and then as one third of the supergroup Emerson, Lake And Palmer, one of the most flamboyant and prodigious of all the classic-era prog bands. TeamRock Radio has been paying tribute to Emerson with this tribute to Emerson’s talent and legacy. You can hear the whole tribute below.
