And I’m not talking about old, so called “boring” piano singers like Elton John, Billy Joel, or Stevie Wonder (who I also like).

I’m no expert on the subject. I’m just naming some players whose keyboard playing really enhanced a band’s sound for me.

Jim Morginie (Midnight Oil, some call a musical genius)
Paul Carrack (his solo CD is a pure delight from start to finish)
Jools Holland
Benmont Tench (Tom Petty)
Rick Wakeman
Steve Nieve
Brian Eno (mostly solo, I’m still trying to like Roxy Music)
Roddy Bottum (Faith No More)
Mike Garson (Bowie)
