DAVID GREENFIELD,71
Died 3 May 2020
English keyboardist, singer and songwriter. Member of the Stranglers, joining them when they were founded in 1975 and played with them until his death this year. His style of playing is compared with that of Ray Manzarek of the Doors.
I'd never heard of this band, but they had 23 pop UK singles and 17 UK pop albums. They were considered punk rock but their songs could go in any direction. I'm listening to them right now on Your Tube. Well worth your time to listen to these guys.
Especially "Walk On By" (the old Dionne Warwick song) and you can really hear Greenfield on the organ and why he is compared to Manzarek). "Who Wants the World" reminds me a lot of the Doors.
He died of the COVID-19 virus.
