UFO Guitarist/Keyboardist Paul Raymond Passed Away On Saturday

I loved the band UFO as a teen and was sad to learn that one of it's long time members had passed away. Guitarist/keyboard player Paul Raymond died from an apparent heart attack this past Saturday, while on UFO's "Last Orders" farewell tour, in recognition of their 50th anniversary. He was 73 years old and still rocking! The band recruited Paul from Savoy Brown to make the 1977 Lights Out album, featuring the song "Too Hot to Handle." RIP.

Oh man that really sucks, sad news indeed. One of the best bands ever IMO. He will be greatly missed.

I've played to his keys and guitar more hours than I could count. As a kid I learned all the UFO songs I could, pretty much all of Strangers in the Night. I'm a huge fan of the band.

RIP Paul
Thank's for all the killer music!

A good ballad:

73 years is a good innings for a rock star , a life well lived I think.

Really great band. I got into them because of an old bandmate.

Just bought a greatest hits CD of theirs the other day.

RIP Paul

Another awesome tune with a great example of Pauls keyboard work.

Love to Love
