I remain a huge Crimson fan, but I always found Sinfield's lyrics a little twee. But he was a pivotal part of so many bands I love, (Roxy, Crimson, PFM). His solo album, "Still", has some great moments.

Sad news

Fairly prolific writer for others, later in his career. As diverse as 'Heart Of Stone' (Cher) and 'Land Of Make Believe' (Bucks Fizz). I guess he had a shrewd eye on his pension.

RIP.

Yes I’m sure he had a good pension fund. I just read on the BBC website that he earned about £20K each Christmas just from the Greg Lake hit!

That reminds of a story I read in a King Crimson article about a saying that went around the roadie fraternity in the 1970s:-

The 3 worst things you could have on tour were toothache, earache & Greg Lake!
