    My favorite lyricist. He may have left, but he left his mark for all of us to enjoy.

    RIP. I wonder what his age was?
    What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)

    He reached 80 years. I just saw this on Sid Smith's feed, sad news. RIP

    Not many people can claim to be the co-inventor of an entire genre of music and write “land of make believe”

    Pete Sinfield wrote such wonderful lyrics for Krimson and also produced and wrote lyrics for two albums by Italie's Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM). His only solo album, "Still", is a quiet gem. I didn't realize he wrote songs for Celine Dion, Cher, Cliff Richard, Leo Sayer, Five Star, and Bucks Fizz.

    He also produced the self-titled first Roxy Music album.

    This song has a very Sinfield-ian sound to it lyrics-wise. I can't really say that about most of his work of the 80s and beyond:

    Oh very sad. One of the best, and yes, quite possibly my favorite.
    RIP.

    He also produced the second (and best) album by Esperanto, "Danse Macabre"; I really like it.

    He came up with the name King Crimson, in case it wasn't mentioned already.

    His website www.songsouponsea.com has a LOT of interesting stuff. Watch out, you can spend hours in there!

    Confusion will be my epitaph
    As I crawl, a cracked and broken path
    If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
    But I fear tomorrow I'll be cryin

    The last band I got into was Esperanto. Never knew he produced it until today.
