Richard Wright (musician)

Richard William Wright, usually known as Rick Wright (born July 28, 1943 in London, England), is the keyboard player of Pink Floyd. He was a founding member of the band in 1965, as well as being in its previous incarnation, Sigma 6. Though not as prolific a writer as his bandmates Roger Waters and David Gilmour, Wright was an essential contributor to Pink Floyd's long, epic compositions such as "A Saucerful of Secrets," "Echoes," and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond". His most popular commercial contributions were "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "Us and Them" from 1973's Dark Side of the Moon.
