Greg Lake ❤

Great musician
Love everything he sang/played

Absolutely the best - no comparison then, now, or as I see it, even into the future! His mastery of his skills and talents and his musical genius were way WAY ahead of the times. He, and ELP, helped shape my teenage and ongoing years. Greg, Keith and Carl were unbelievably outstanding - and always will be! I am so fortunate to have lived during their musical reign! Greg and ELP's legacy will live on, always. And let's face it, what a beautiful man Greg Lake was - both inside, and obviously,...

Listening to your beautiful music in 2025. Your music will live on through the years ahead inspiring countless people... You are missed.

Netting you in the elevator at the Hilton across from the Bayfront Center in Florida... and again the next morning. You were so kind to take time to chat with me. we meet again. Thank you for the beauty of your mind and your music Greg. Blessings on your family.

Caras como você, fizeram toda diferença. O mundo da música não teria a menor graça sem a sua genialidade. Desejo que você esteja em um lugar bem lindo e acolhedor. Obrigada por tudo! Música

Your work with King Crimson and ELP forged my musical direction. I loved ELP. What great music and I was blessed to see you 3 times. What an exciting musical time. I'm so grateful to you and your music. RIP

I thought Greg had one of the best voices out there. To see ELP in the early 70's in San Fran ca, forever embedded in my Brain. Sorry to see you go. Would have loved to show you my favorite fly fishing rivers here in Oregon. RIP Brother.

Always on my heart. Sempre no meu coração.

Rest in Peace.. You are missed...
