Don't know if you've heard this yet, but rick Wright died today at 65 from cancer.

Very sad times of course. As a tribute, shall we consider some of his best songs and contributions?

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. 

Thanks for the magic, Rick.

May you rest in peace...

Very saddening news Cry

Great Gig In The Sky and Us And Them are two of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard. No less impressive is his work on Wish You Were Here or Echoes. Broken China also includes some very touching work.

No offense to anyone saying something in Wright's memory, but three topics about the news were already opened...(NOT including the Appreciation Thread).
