Rick Wright Biography
Richard William "Rick" Wright (born July 28, 1943 in Hatch End, London) is a self-taught pianist and keyboardist best known for his long career with Pink Floyd. Though not as prolific a songwriter as his bandmates Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour he did write significant parts of the music for classic albums like Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, as well as for Pink Floyd`s most recent studio album The Division Bell. Wright’s richly textured keyboard layers have been a vital ingredient and a distinctive characteristic of Pink Floyd’s sound. In addition, Wright frequently sang background and occasionally lead vocals onstage and in the studio with Pink Floyd (most notably on the songs "Time", "Echoes", and on the Syd Barrett composition "Astronomy Domine").

The photo up top presently is not Rick`s first wife Juliette, rather it is a photo of Sheila Noble, who was a sometime member of the band Sigma 6 with Roger Waters and Nick Mason along with Clive Metcalf and Keith Noble. The band was short lived.
