Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Emerson, Lake & Palmer were an English progressive rock band that formed in 1970. Keyboardist Keith Emerson came from The Nice, guitarist Greg Lake came from King Crimson, and drummer Carl Palmer came from The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Before the band had officially begun, ideas floated around of recruiting Jimi Hendrix as guitarist. However, this never happened, partially because of Hendrix's supposed claim that he would only be working with black musicians, and partially because, amusingly, the band name would have been HELP.
Most of ELP works consisted of mix of the classical compositions, jazz tunes, and electronica which would be part of ELP until Love Beach which was released in 1978. ELP reunited in 1992 and released Black Moon and In the Hot Seat as well as tour. 
Keith Emerson died in 2016 by suicide and Greg Lake died the same year from cancer. Carl Palmer still performs ELP songs with his band The Carl Palmer Band.
