Richard Wright (1943 – 2008) was an English pianist, organist, general keyboard player and singer, most commonly known as the keyboard player from Pink Floyd, during most of the band’s active years.
A founding member of the band, he was the main solo-performer on the earliest Pink Floyd material, and his mastery of musical atmosphere throughout the band’s career made his keyboard playing effectively integral to what is known as the “Pink Floyd sound”.
His first ever writing credit was the song “You’re The Reason Why” for the trio Adam, Mike and Tim.
