Gilmour Waters is a pink floyd song?

Terrible shame, that. Here's a little sampling of his greatness, from a solo album. His quiet influence on the Pink Floyd sound will be apparent to most anyone over 40.

R.I.P., Rick. 🙁

Gonna date myself a bit here.

I first heard of Pink Floyd when the movie Zabriskie Point came out in 1970. I heard radio commercials for the film which featured the closing bars of "Come In Number 51...". It was scary! And besides, I thought, what kind of a weird-ass name for a rock band is "Pink Floyd"?

Then I got a job at a summer camp, sharing a cabin with someone who played "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" on a little plastic turntable. Later that fall, I found a European EMI Records sampler in a bargain bin, containing 3 Pink Floyd tracks from the soundtrack from the movie "More".

And then, I heard tracks from "Dark Side of the Moon" on a high end system in a stereo shop. I was on my way...
