remembering UFO keyboardist/guitarist Paul Raymond (1945-2019)

Wikipedia says: "Paul Martin Raymond (16 November 1945 – 13 April 2019) was an English keyboardist and guitarist, best known for playing in the rock bands UFO and Michael Schenker Group. He also replaced Christine McVie when she left Chicken Shack to join Fleetwood Mac in 1969."

Paul Raymond was UFO's long-time keyboardist and rhythm guitarist who joined in 1976 (replacing Danny Peyronel) because he could play both keyboards and rhythm guitar. This was a game-changer for UFO’s live sound. It allowed them to have that fuller sound during Michael Schenker’s solos.

Wikipedia says that: "He wrote songs for UFO, but because of a previous publishing deal, was not credited for these songs until recent years. When Michael Schenker left UFO, Raymond joined Schenker's new band, MSG, in 1981 and later joined UFO bassist Pete Way's band, Waysted, in 1983. Raymond worked with Phil Mogg, Andy Parker, along with Schenker and Way, in UFO from 1976–1980, 1984–1986, 1993–1998 and 2003–2019. At the time of his death in 2019, UFO had just completed the first leg of what they referred to as their final world tour, dubbed 'Last Orders: 50th Anniversary'. For the remainder of the tour, Raymond was replaced by Neil Carter, who was also his replacement from 1980 to 1983."

The Life & Death of UFO's PAUL RAYMOND

(Watch this video. It says that it is 1977. If the year is right, then it is Paul Raymond starting on the keyboards with a guitar strapped on, and then he switches to play the rhythm guitar. There are two guitarists on the stage, not just Michael Schenker.)
