Wow - I hadn't heard about that. ELP were a bit far out for me but "I believe in Father Christmas" will always be my favourite Christmas song.

I will mainly remember him for his work with King Crimson

Me too. But both King Crimson and ELP  were part of the soundtrack to my student years, along with Genesis and Pink Floyd, and indeed Tangerine Dream.  'In the Court of the Crimson King' was probably the most popular track on our club Juke Box; I still have seven or eight early King Crimson LP's (mostly post Lake, of course) and certainly the first five ELP albums. Beer and Curry night tonight, I might end it with an hour with the Linn and Electrostatics, and give some good ol' stuff a twirl.

And the menace of 'I believe in Father Christmas' is superb. 

A sad loss.
