Ken Hensley has unexpectedly passed away at age 75.  Uriah Heep's keyboardist from 1970-1980, he played some mighty Hammond  B-3 organ in a role similar to Jon Lord's with Deep Purple.  

Wrote some good songs too.  Easy Livin has been stuck in my head all morning.   Heep kicks ass.  RIP.

RIP Ken Hensley.  And I highly suspected this was Herbal Dave thread before I clicked.  Guy has encyclopedic knowledge of various Genres of music.

It's like he hangs out in record stores memorizing all the liner notes laugh

Rest in Peace 

Thanks for those good times. 

They were one of the great bands in the early 70's. Saw them several times.

Never got to see Heep with Hensley in the band, but have seen the latest incarnation a few times in the past couple of years, including opening for Judas Priest two summers ago.   I thought Uriah Heep blew Priest away.  A bit Spinal Tappy, but still loud, kick ass heavy rock.
