Passed away on Tuesday. Was the keyboard player for Steppenwolf. His Hammond B-3 Organ powered hits like "Born To Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". Frankly, in my opinion, it MADE those songs what they were, along with John Kay's growl of course. Also memorable for his rather impressive head of hair.

To be honest, I could swear I read of his passing several years ago, but obviously not.

Many years ago I practiced until I could copy his playing perfectly. RIPT_Bone0806 wrote:Passed away on Tuesday. Was the keyboard player for Steppenwolf.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
