  • Ken Hensley, Uriah Heep musician, dead at 75

    When I read these things, I am reminded we are all advancing in age. My youth is long gone but my memories still seem like yesterday.

    Ken Hensley, best known as the keyboardist, guitarist and songwriter for the British hard rock band Uriah Heep, died on Wednesday at age 75.
    According to Variety, Hensley was born in London in 1945 and grew up outside the city, where he learned to play guitar as a child and rode his talent through a series of bands during the 1960s. He founded the band The Gods in 1965 which included future Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, Greg Lake of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer and future Uriah Heep bassist Paul Newton and drummer Lee Kerslake.
    After releasing a pair of albums, the group dissolved. However, the relationships formed there eventually led to the formation of Uriah Heep in the 1970s.
