Greg Lake, British vocalist, guitarist and bass player, has died at the age of
69.
Lake’s songwriting abilities can be sampled by listening to “Lucky Man” (which
he apparently wrote at the age of twelve):

His vocal abilities are featured prominently in KING CRIMSON’s (unfortunately)
prohetic “Epitaph” — a shortened version of which can be found at:

"Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules,
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.”
Lake’s temporally appropriate “I Believe in Father Christmas” can be found here:

progressive rock enthusiast in his soul, in
