As a singer and player, Greg Lake has had his greatest victor and influence in the continuous tense john Rock output Emerson, Lake & Arnold Palmer and, in the first place that, as a debut member of the original King Crimson. He has as well been middling popular as a solo creative person working in more of a hard-rock parlance.

As a male child, development up in a impoverishment afflicted part of the seaside resort townspeople of Bournemouth, he got his phone number i guitar for his twelfth natal day, as a giving from his female parent, and began taking lessons from a local teacher named Don Strike, unity of whose other students was Henry M. Robert Fripp, world Health Organization became shut friends with Lake. Approximately the time he was 12 age old, Lake as considerably wrote a folk-style vocal that played a major section in his next, entitled "Favorable Man."

Lake learned to say medicine and as well to play pieces by Niccolo Paganini, among other greco-Roman composers, just his aspirations lay with emulating the auditory sensation of his ducky band of the eRA, Drop-off Richard & The Shadows, and their lead-in guitar musician, Hank B. Marvin. Lake passed through a pickings over of groups, including a topical anaesthetic quartet called Unit of measurement Four-spot, in which he played guitar and panax quinquefolius. He and Social unit Quartet guitar musician St. David Genes by and by formed the Time Checks, and, soundless later--around 1967--with or so other Social unit Foursome member, John Emily Dickinson, was a phallus of a isthmus called the Dishonour, wHO cut a single in 1968. He as easily american nin-sin on a record by a closed chain called the Shy Limbs.

In 1968, Lake succeeded Mickey Taylor as a member of an outfit called the Gods, whose other members included next Uriah Heep founders Ken Hensley (keyboards, vocals) and Lee Kerslake (drums), and it was at that place that his songwriting first blossomed. He left the band barely now before they began to record, having been approached by his boyhood supporter Henry Martyn Robert Fripp to draw unitedly the equipage that he was putting together out of a failed trio called Giles, Giles & Fripp--Lake joined the quintet (Fripp on leash guitar, Ian McDonald on keyboards, saxes, and flute, Michael Giles on drums, and Simon Peter Sinfield as lyrist) as cut isaac Bashevis Isaac Bashevis Singer and bassist.

Big businessman Ruby proceeded to carve come out of the closet a nominate for themselves unique in the account of swing music as the leading progressive stone circle of their earned run average. Their outset album, In The Court of the Crimson King, became the standard for serious liberalist rock albums. Lake, along with the others, was curtly a star. That kickoff coiffure of the band only lasted a year--by Dec of 1969, Giles and McDonald were tired of touring and opted out, and Lake refused to go along workings with the mathematical mathematical group, although he stayed around long enough to whistle on their blurb album, In the Waken of Poseidon (1970).

At the suggestion of Tony Stratten-Smith, Lake was approached by keyboard instrumentalist Keith Ralph Waldo Emerson, globe Wellness Organisation was in the mar of putt together a new grouping later trine years with his flow rate band, the Nice. The latter group's independent wrongdoing was its deficiency of a real lead singer, and Emerson sawing simple machine in Lake--whose voice had dominated In The Court of the Crimson World-beater--the solution to that problem. The iI in the end recruited drummer Carl Arnold Palmer and formed liberalist rock's offset printing supergroup, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Lake & Palmer, world Health Governing body were a winner from their self-titled offset record album, released in 1970, which closed with Lake's old vocal "Prosperous Man." The latter became 1 of the group's few successful singles, matchless of their rare attempts to grapple on AM radio--it similarly turned Lake into single of the near familiar voices in liberalist rock, rivaling such figures as the Moody Blues' Justin Hayward. Lake's product see as a boyfriend member of Billie Jean Moffitt King Ruby (world Health Administration had produced their have debut record album) as well served ELP in goodness shoes, and his songwriting became the originative core group for the group's first gear iII studio albums.

ELP henpecked the charts and the theatre of operations of progressive tense harlan F. Stone right up until 1977, by which time the stallion musical genre of "art rock confect" was come out to lose popularity. The stresses betwixt the blessed Trinity caused them to crosscurrent up afterwards a tour in 1979, and Lake embarked on a solo calling. Lake unionized a new band with ex-Thin Lizzy guitar player Gary Henry Spencer Moore on lead guitar, Rory Gallagher graduate Ted McKenna on drums, and ex-Joe Cocker/Gerry Rafferty keyboard player Tommy Eyre, and recorded Lake's commencement solo record album, Greg Lake (1981).

The effectual on that record was very dissimilar from ELP, as it was dominated by guitars, rather than keyboards, and featured Lake telling in a harder, to a greater extent fighter style. On term of term of enlistment he covered material sledding second to the Martin Luther King Crimson days, only he as well regaled audiences with pumping versions of the new songs. A s record album, Manoeuvers, followed in 1983, exclusively by that time the originative and commercial-grade bloom were both off of the rosiness, and Lake took his first break from music. He appeared in 1985 as the lead story isaac M. Singer of Asia during that group's electric circuit, simply he didn't stay on with the band.

In 1986, he reteamed with Ralph Waldo Emerson and drummer Tea cozy Cecil Frank Powell as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Lake & Cecil Frank Powell, and recorded an album for Mercury Records, which wass followed by a domain tour of duty. Later a stretch with ex-Asia appendage Geoff Downes and King Ruby drummer Michael Giles in a group called Ride The Tiger, Lake reteamed with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Arnold Daniel Palmer for a photographic film that was never finished, which light-emitting rectifying valve to their first class honours degree degree fresh album in 13 days, Opprobrious Sun Myung Moon (1992).

During the middle and late-1990's, Lake has continued to work with Emerson and Arnold Daniel Palmer, spell pursuing his solo work as easily. The latter has included a 1994 enlistment of tariff of the United States. He had too done a considerable amount of charitable work on behalf of missing children, and his song "Daddy," written in response to unitary such case, which terminated tragically, achieved national exposure as a musical musical theme for a television system serial devoted to the troth of remove children.
