On this date, May 18, 1949, Rick Wakeman was born in Perivale. Ā I made a little tribute, not just because he is considered āiconicā, not just because Iāve been a big fan of his as a little boy: his first, The Six Wives Of Henry VIII, is literally a reference album in the field of instrumental, keyboards ā oriented music. He has also played an important role in moments of rock history, a token of which we have below [beyond anything else, he was Bowieās piano player on the albums Space Oddity (his are the mellotron parts, on the eponymous track) and Hunky Dory]. He would continue to produce great music with YES, after the Six Wives album, while his solo career was taking off in a universe of dazzlingly bad taste, from which [talkinā about four and a half decades] you are unable to pick a single moment worth listening⦠We hear four of the of Henry VIIIās six wives

In a BBC studio, shortly after David Bowieās passing, Rick Wakeman [his pianist Īæn Hunky Dory] dedicates this song, describing it as the most important heās ever played on.

Enjoy!
