3. Well that sucks.

I love the arrangement that the Stranglers did for the cover of "Walk on By." Plus, who can forget him playing the harpsichord in 13:8 time on "Golden Brown."

RIP David Greenfield.

Stranglers keyboardist Dave Greenfield dies with COVID-19

LONDON (AP) — Dave Greenfield, the keyboard player with British punk band The Stranglers and who penned the music to their biggest hit, Golden Brown, has died after testing positive for coronavirus. He was 71.

The band's official website announced that Greenfield died on Sunday after contracting the virus following a stay in a hospital for heart problems.

Bass player Jean-Jacques “JJ” Burnel paid tribute to Greenfield as a “musical genius," who had “passed away as one of the victims of the Great Pandemic of 2020.”

Hugh Cornwall, the band's former lead singer, said on Twitter that Greenfield's “musical skill and gentle nature gave an interesting twist to the band” and that he “should be remembered as the man who gave the world the music of Golden Brown.”
