(73,668 posts)I have him in my Top 5 best piano players in the rock era.
Excellent songwriter & wonderful player.
On his first hit, we can barely hear the piano except in the bridge.
So, his terrific skills as a player were largely unnoticed. Even later, when the piano parts were more prominent.

(73,668 posts)The piano work is excellent throughout but the killer solo starts at around 2:40. It's about 2 minutes long because he explores a lot of space. During parts of it, listen to the left hand work of underlying chording. Really good!
