Loved his work with Mountain

Steve was one of the truly great artists of his era. He is missed beyond words.

I loved his playing on those Mountain recordings. He wove a texture and feeling unmatched. He also seemed like a really standup guy. God bless Steve Knight.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Knight's passing. In addition to the bands mentioned in the Times obituary, Steve played with the group Wings (pre-dated McCartney's band) and on a Herbie Mann album. He will certainly be missed.

This late and I just found out about Steve's passing. I knew him from Mountain and his kayboard playing was sublime. I listened to his music on our album based pirate radio station here in the UK in the early 70s. Sorry to here of his passing and god bless.

Was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Steve Knight. Mountain was my first concert in 1971 and inspired me to a music career that lasted over 20 years. Thank you for your brilliance Steve, you will be deeply missed.

I met Steve a couple times when he was in Mountain and spoke to him once or twice on the phone. A well versed musician and a kind man. RIP Steve you will be missed dearly

Steve was a wonderful person and an excellent musician. may he rest in peace
