Doug Riley
Doug was Canada's premiere, first call keyboard player, arranger and
composer. He produced and played on Bob Seger's 'Night Moves', launching Bob's
comeback. He had arranged and played organ for Ray Charles. As a
composer he was best known for his work with 'Dr Music' his self-
named band of the sixties and seventies. He had arranged and
performed on Anne Murray recordings and had served as session
pianist on recordings too numerous to list over the years. He was as at
home in straight ahead Jazz playing as he was with theatre music, Stride
piano or soul organ. He was the consumate musician, a legend in the
Toronto music scene.
Doug Riley passed away on 27 August 2007. |
