you're right, well actually he had one big hit, a #2 album ("Harry's Bar") and single ("How Wonderful you are") in 2002 I can't think of a guy less likely to have a big hit but there you go

One of the top Stackridge tracks overall and the only vocal track on that nearly-all instrumental filpside of Extravaganza.

Stackridge's 'No-One's More Important Than The Earthworm' was derived from a song written by Gordon Haskell and it's a favorite.

RIP! Saw the news on Facebook of all places (Prog United group I think) yesterday evening. I love Lizard, and from what I understand he was never happy with his work nor time in KC. Thank you for your art and rest in peace!

Sad news. RIP Gordon.
He actually had a few minor hits in the UK later on if I'm not mistaken.

So sad.
His voices are not my cup of tea but obviously he built KC foundation up in early 70s.

RIP Gordon
Loved his singing on "Cadence and Cascade", even more so on "Cirkus". I knew about his solo album but didn't know about the folkish Moodys vibe, will definitely seek it out. Thank you Steve and Doc

Nice. Very melodic stuff that kind of has a Moody's vibe.

Yeah, I don't think he's listed here. I guess making one prog album with John Wetton on bass wasn't enough to get him included.
