What always impressed me about Ray that a lot of people weren't aware, is that along with keyboards, Ray carried the band's bass responsibilities as well. He used those old bass foot pedals like you see on the old Conn Organs. You want to talk about multitasking, playing bass lines while simultaneously knocking out chords and melodies on the keys is no small feat. But he did it like a pro.

Ray will go down in history with Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman as one of Classic Rock's greatest keyboardists.
RIP Ray.
