The legendary Ray Manzarek passed away today at the age of 74. You all know who he is and his impact to our world. Not necessarily a synthesist, but a true keyboard player that started in a band that showed keyboards could be just as powerful as guitars in classic rock. He continued on to do great things.
Be sure to see this post featuring some of Ray's great personality. I still don't know what that is in the background.
We will miss you Ray.
via Wikipedia: "Raymond Daniel Manczarek, Jr., known as Ray Manzarek (February 12, 1939 – May 20, 2013[1]), was an American musician, singer, producer, film director, writer, and co-founder and keyboardist of The Doors from 1965 to 1973, Nite City from 1977–1978 and Manzarek-Krieger since 2001."
