Keyboardist with The Stranglers from the early days, must have had an impact on their early sound.

Gutted to hear about this. Dave Greenfield wrote Golden Brown which became the band's biggest hit, winning an Ivor Novello award. RIP

Really sad to hear about Dave Greenfield.He had lived near me for many years and at one time ran a pub in the village where he lived.He always had time for a chat and I saw the Stranglers countless times over the years.This October was to be the last tour,I cant see them carrying on now. Going to miss you Dave.RIP.

RIP Dave Greenfield, Golden Brown, probably the first track you think of when The Stranglers are mentioned.

RIP Dave
This is So sad.
The stranglers are my favourite band .
Dave greenfield was in the same class as Ray manzerak of the doors he really was that good !
I have seen the stranglers at least10 times and this guy was a real stand out performer.

RIP Dave Greenfield He certainly gave The Stranglers a distinctive sound I was never a massive fan but that first album - Rattus Norvegicus - is excellent, and they made some great singles

RIP Dave Greenfield, Golden Brown, probably the first track you think of when The Stranglers are mentioned. Sad news, Golden Brown is good, but my favourite Stranglers track is Peaches

Still got back ache after shifting your Hammond Organ & Speaker at SES in Chesterfield a few years back!
There must be one hell of good band somewhere up there chap. Rest in peace Dave.

Sad news indeed. Dave had a massive part to play in the sound of this band. I love his solo on No More Heroes.
RIP Dave
