Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer helped define and set new standards throughout one of the most ambitious and experimental periods in 20th-Century popular music. Drawn from The Nice, King Crimson, and Atomic Rooster respectively, they were hailed as progressive rock’s first supergroup. Combining driving dynamics, intricate arrangements, and virtuosic skill, between 1970 and 1978, ELP released seven studio recordings and three live albums. Such was their popularity on both sides of the Atlantic that their records repeatedly achieved Platinum status sales.
Titles such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery created distinctive worlds that incorporated soaring themes, other-worldly timbres, yearning ballads, humorous pastiche and dramatic long-form conceptual works. While they adapted pieces by classical composers as stylistically varied as Bartok, Mussorgsky, Copland, Ginastera and Rodrigo, ELP sounded like nobody else but themselves.
The trio performed live one final time at London’s High Voltage Festival in July 2010 just weeks short of their debut gig 40th anniversary.
Although Keith Emerson and Greg Lake both sadly passed away in 2016, interest in ELP continues to grow, and Carl Palmer’s own band regularly performs a setlist dedicated to the unique music he helped create. ELP's music continues to find new audiences more than 50 years from their beginning, a striking testament to the group's irrepressible blend of energy, eclecticism, and visceral excitement.
Lyrics:
He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

This song brings back so many memories. I remember when it came out back in the 70's not long before I joined the Marines. But it was later that a more meaningful memory is created. In 1979, I was on a date with a young woman and we went back to her place. She asked me what music I wanted to listen to and as I looked through her extensive collections, I saw "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends". Although the album had been out for 5 yrs., I had never listened to it before. Two songs stood out above all the rest. Lucky Man and Still, You Turn Me On. I'll never forget that night and we got married the following year. Our 44th. anniversary is in 12 days. May 10.

What was Greg Lake thinking when he wrote this song? "HE HAD WHITE HORSES...AND LADIES BY THE SCORE." "ALL DRESSED IN SATIN...AND WAITING BY THE DOOR." Being a lucky man, the reason for having scores of ladies dressed in satin and waiting by his door is both obvious and perfectly understandable. In light of the fact that we all know what those ladies were expecting to have done to them, by him, once they gained entry past the door, what has had me baffled for the last 54 years is, what was he also going to do with scores of white horses, also dressed in satin and also waiting by the door? Beautiful song, strange mind fuck imagery. HMMmm. Of Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer, Carl Palmer is the only one left alive so time is running out to get this Earth stopping question answered. Please help!!!

We can assume what his plans were with the ladies but what was he going to do with all those satin draped horses? Sounds pretty kinky to me.

I first heard this song in my father’s car as a senior in high school. I can still feel all the hair on my arms and the back of my neck standing up when I heard the moog synthesizer at the end. I turned to my dad and told him that that sound from the synthesizer was the future of music! He turned to me and said “nothing is better than jazz”! I have been an ELP fan ever since.

Bear with me about my "Lucky Man" story. Was overseas at NATO base in Turkey. We had a very weak radio station covering our installation of about 4000 to 5000 people including many dependents. Enough dependents that we had school for 1st thru 12th grade. So we were like a small town of Americans that were primary military (and dependents). So we had this competition where different groups were helping raise funds. IF your amount was the largest amount, you had control of the radio station and your song was the one song being played endlessly until some other group submitted a larger dollar amount. One group had Lucky Man being played over and over. Lucky Man played for more than one hour. Personally I reached my breaking point due to this one song. This happened around 1974/75. Good times.Any time I hear this song, I am back at KCDI in Turkey. 50 years ago.

I remember hearing this song for the first time very vividly. It was on CBC radio playing through one of those all in one stereo consoles everyone had. AM/FM Short Wave and a record player. My dad used to listen to CBC News but this came on just before that for whatever reason. The drum fills blew me away and the timing of the song. So odd but beautiful. NOthing like it I ever heard on the radio. Then the pathos and emotion of Greg's voice and the melodic bass lines. Wasn't til years later ....I noticed that off beat guitar arpeggio in the background. IT gave it something special. Then the maestro and magnificent paint stroked at the end of the song. KEith Emerson on the moog. Absolute chills up my spine. Then 20 years later 2 blocks from the house I grew up in and where I heard this song ELP came to my town and played at Centennial Hall. I could not believe it. How such a big band in its day could come to a venue of 1500 people or so. No light show ..no theatrics just straight ahead playing and singing. THey did not disappoint. Virtuosos all of them. THank you for all the great music and memories. This song shall live in my heart forever. I am a Lucky Man!!!!!

Carl Palmer is currently touring the world with his "CLP" band. I saw him in Rochester, New York on the opening night of the tour back in November. What an amazing drummer and person! He gave so much to everyone that night just as he has done his entire career. What an amazing group. The music ELP made will echo for eternity.

Haunting sound for our mortality!

La finesse du jeu de Palmer est remarquable et m'a toujours impressionné. Comme quoi on peu produire de grands chefs-d'œuvre en étant que trois. Je comprends mieux aujourd'hui pourquoi ELP restera un groupe mythique et iconoclaste dans l'Histoire de la musique moderne.

Sentire questa musica è un piacere per l'anima. Quanto studio, quanto amore, quanto rispetto per chi ascoltava musica e testi. Per me fa parte della più grande Musica Classica

I read that he was 12 when he wrote this, they needed an extra song for the album so they used this one. I'm very happy they did. ❤

I can't wait to hear the Castellows cover of this. Those 3 country girls harmonizing, acoustic guitars, and a fiddle. E.lly, L.ily, & P.owell. This song is timeless.
