And its only going to continue. Emerson was the reason I got a Korg Poly 800 in the early 80's. Of course, I never really learned to play it well.

RIP. I was never a big fan of ELP, but I liked their debut a little, and it was one of the first prog albums I bought back when I discovered it was a thing. Really sad to hear about what brought the suicide on - his inability to play music any more.
Take a Pebble was probably my favourite Emerson track - him at his most restrained:
