Jon Lord : 1941 - 2012

I was lucky enough to have met Jon 3 times in Australia. he was such a beautiful human being. I had a g'f once that wished Jon was her grandfather. he was that sort of a man. he exuded a warm caring nature and respect for people. His ability as a musician is just astounding

One year gone today, forever in our hearts

The interview was conducted at the Sydney Opera in 2003

amazing documentary... thanks for the link !

First time I heard Jon Lord was on Made in Japan.I remember Lazy vividly. I thought it was a damn spaceship!! Freaked my mother right out! Great stuff, thankyou Jon!

Gone three years, but never forgotten

there is now a blue plaque on his childhood home.

Brilliant musician, always seemed like the cool guy in the back who was holding it all together.
