Sad demise of Eric Woolfson-Alan Parsons Project

[tomyg]

I was saddened to hear today that songwriter and musician Eric Woolfson, one of the key figures behind The Alan Parsons Project, has died of cancer aged 64. Really sad news as I grew up listening to their albums such as 'I Robot', 'Pyramid' & 'Tales of Mystery & Imagination'. He was a self taught musician as well. A real loss...

I just read that, as well.

Hmmm, Alan Parsons Project indeed: haven't listened to any of their stuff in many a moon. Indeed, I think I only have LPs, not CDs, so probably a good twenty years. "Eve" is the album I remember best, for some reason (perhaps the femmes fatale on the cover   )

There are a few tracks I still play a lot-  mainly from "Tales of Mystery" and "TTOAFC".

Sad news.

Pyramid absolutely blew me away when it came out.
Very sad news.

Me and my dad loved them.

So much so that I read an extract from the lyrics of "Old and Wise" at his funeral.

Woolfson and Parsons have been very much a part of my early musical endeavours. Albums like Ammonia Avenue (just love the title track), Turn Of A Friendly Card and IMHO their best album, Tals Of Mystery And Imagination : Edgar Allen Poe, have been for years now a soundtrack to my life. Very sad that Woolfson has passed away but am grateful for the music he has given us.

Yes sad news indeed I have all the Alan Parsons albums/cds and loved his voice.

bass player Mr David Paton also from Alan Parson  Project.
