    Richard says he wasn’t confident in his voice but he had a freaking beautiful voice I loved Richards voice and he never had to hide his Englishness

      Pink Floyd Is Superior I don’t actually have a copy of it are usually just listen on UA-cam but I know sometimes in some countries it’s not always available due to copyright issues but I’m sure you can find it somewhere online good luck. Richard made some great solo music

      Richard’s voice is beautiful both at face value and sublimely even more so. See-saw on Saucerful of secrets demonstrates this perfectly as does Against the Odds off of Wet dream.

    In my humble opinion, no Rick Wright equals no Pink Floyd. He’s integral to the whole ouvre ✌🏻

    WTF!? Richard your voice is amazing. It blends so well with David's. When I hear you sing, I instantly relax. RIP.

    I always liked his voice. Was always my favourite Floyd voice, even next to Syd.
    I hope he now knows how much we loved him.

    Richard Wright was the George Harrison of Pink Floyd and therefore my favourite.

  • @dickenstom
    @dickenstom 14 років тому +35

    Was the lynch pin in Pink Floyd. Nobody knows it but Richard Wright was ESSENTIAL to the Pink Floyd sound, and what is he talking about he doesn't like his voice on his previous work? His singing in Time and Echoes takes me to another world!

  • @KennethDonnellyStargazer21
    @KennethDonnellyStargazer21 12 років тому +32

    Remarkably humble man by what I hear, but I have always considered him critical to P.F.'s sound, and absolutely love to hear his ethereal, subtle, esoteric way of playing. My favorite keyboardist along with Tony Banks, of all time....So sad he is gone, but not from my head and ears! RIP

    • @777jones
      @777jones 6 років тому +2

      Kenneth Donnelly very much agree that Ricks playing was essence of Pink Floyd. Nicks drumming was also. Both unhurried and regal Englishmen.

    The first time I heard Broken China I thought, "Oh man, this is really depressing" and it took me a while before I ever played it again. When I finally did, I started to really appreciate it and the hidden beauty of it. The musicianship is top notch, especially the guitar playing and drumming. Now, I absolutely love this record and feel it definitely deserves a place in the Pink Floyd Pantheon.

    • @777jones

      bungopony well said. rather than being a product of anger, it is instead a work of reflection and gloomy beauty. I’m happy I was able to get the album.

    I LOVE The Floyd in all its different variations. I Believe All of them are Integral to the Pink Floyd Sound. The word Sound is Very Important---Syd, and then Roger, were Great Lyricists, and Words are Very Important, but without the Music, its just a poem. So the Pink Floyd Sound really didn't have a Whole lot to do with Roger, imo, but Everything to do with Rick, Dave and even Nick, who's drumming style is Very Different and Recogniseable. RIP RICK--your Music will Live on inside us FOREVER!!!

    • @didakelx
      @didakelx 3 роки тому +4

      I'd say that the five of them were SOUND innovators. Pink Floyd and their members spent their careers searching for new SOUNDS. SOUND is the keyword. Regards.

    Guitar, keyboards and space is what true Floyd is for me. The lyrics, while important, were always second to that. I could live without Roger’s mad ranting, but could never live without Rick’s keys and THAT guitar.

  • @misanthrop1958

    "Broken China" is one of my favourite albums. I never knew that it was about depression, but now I understand why I connected so intensively with the music and the lyrics. Suffering from depressions coming and going for decades I have to say that this magnificent album not only mirrors my inner situation perfectly, it also gives me some hope! A real masterpiece and even more so because Rick has no personal experience with clinical depression!
    I am really sad that he is not with us anymore. Perhaps one day there is a great gig in the sky, where we all come together again, who knows...

    What an album, what a musician, what a low profile legend. Rick publicly never got the credits for his contribution to The Pink Floyd band. As a keyboarder I must say: most of us are just players but Rick was a creator. Very outstanding! Just to mention here, Klaus Schulze also is.

    I too loved his singing voice when he sang lead with Pink Floyd on tracks like 'Remember A Day', 'Paintbox', 'Summer 68' and 'Stay', or when he shared lead vocals with David Gilmour on 'Time' and 'Burning Bridges'. They sounded so good together when they harmonised on 'Echoes', still one of my favourite Floyd tracks.

    • @mrollins4684

      Can't forget the whimsical 'See-Saw' and the flawless harmonizing in 'Echoes'.

    Rick May he stays in peace .. didn’t know when he talked about his voice that in spring 94 when I heard it on Wearing the inside out .. I was like in another world .. never heard something alike .. his voice is deep unique and complexe as his keyboards.
    I discovered Broken China in winter 2002.. it was the album of the year for me ! Unique and profound!

  • @madonnabediary
    @madonnabediary 4 роки тому +3

    I love Richard Wright. He was a very kind quiet man, but I do feel he could have done so much better by making an album that didn't revolve around his 3rd wife Millie Hobbes's life. I find it incredibly caring and romantic how he learned more about what she went through eith depression, but I feel that was something that should have been kept personal, That's just my honest opinion... I do however really enjoy his 1978 album Wet Dream, and his work with Dave Harris for the album Identity in 1984.

    All i have to say is... PaintBox, Rick...Paintbox. And all the other bits and pieces of lead vocals, like in Time, burning bridges etc. Not to mention the sweet background vocals all around. And the keyboards is mainly what made the Floyd sound, a celestial, space, unique and multidimensional and multicolour in a great extent, without undermining the others members unique and immensely valuable contributions.

    Agree about his voice, he was too hard on himself. As far as his being ESSENTIAL to the PF sound, that is the same for all the fellows although I think Waters the least since his vocals are marginal & bass tracks not very impressive. Wright will be missed, a really sad loss.

      @wallacelovecraft8942 Рік тому +1

      Yes, they were friends during the making of division bell (1994) and she was clinically depressed. He fell for her and a year later they got married and had a kid (1995). Broken china releases in 1996.

  • @wallacelovecraft8942
    @wallacelovecraft8942 Рік тому

    I'm glad he's proud of it. I didn't enjoy it, though. Violator came out in 1990. This Broken China album, 1996. The music was I guess, too slow, forgettable, gloomy, and long. The songs sounds of it's time, which is very 90's, also which was most likely because of the samples used. Point that I'm trying to make is that enjoy the silence still sounds so good now, but the songs from broken china sound dated. And honestly, I just want to say cause most of broken china is instrumental, but I've heard older instrumental tracks from the 80's that sound way better.
    From what he's talking about, on how they made it about depression and getting out of it, is a unique take on making an entire album about. He must have known ahead of time that it wouldn't sell. Sad because he was with EMI, and with this complete failure, I presume (I'm just making a guess cause I didn't like it) they dropped him from the label.
