Kerry deserves to be discussed with the likes of banks, wakeman, and others as the greatest prog rock keyboardists of the 70s. I especially love his extra English, folky, and baroque compositions

Thank you Kerry. If you totaled up all the hours of enjoyment that you've given your fans, it would add up to many lifetimes. Not many people can say that. I hope today you'll allow yourself some time to contemplate that fact and it makes you smile like the Giant. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The progressive scene gave us some of the best keyboardists such Emerson, Wakeman, Nocenzi ecc. but IMHO Minnear is a step above. Both from the performance point of view and as a composer.

Truer words were never spoken. Gentle Giant were one in a "Zillion" and their unique style can never be copied. Last but not least: Kerry Minnear was not only a supreme keyboardist but the heart and soul of GG. A very happy birthday and many returns of the day, Mr. Minnear.

There’s so much to thank you for, so much sustained joy in my life listening to you. But special thanks for: Aspirations Your organ tone on “Timing” Your endless rhythmic permutations on clav during Green’s solo on So Sincere (on Playing The Foole) The little clav riff on “His Last Voyage” Every note of As Old As You’re Young, the greatest of all Giant tunes for me Experience, especially when you sang lead on it and played clav in the beginning The opening music you created for the 1976 tour. The bumper music you made for “Under Construction” Your voice on anything Your crazed harmonic sense (in a good way of course) I became a pro keyboard played 40 years ago (and still am) mostly because I wanted to be you. I am thrilled to see all your fans posting here, and I hope you understand just how much you mean to all of us. thank you Kerry, my love affair for your work started in 1975 and has never waned, it’s only grown. happy birthday!

Jamie, I agree with everything you listed, and especially: the "Timing" organ tone; the clav riff in "His Last Voyage".... As Old As You're Young as #1- What a great song, I've been looking for (but haven't yet found) a live recording of it...I'd also put "Experience" and "School Days" as tied with it....holy crap, you're the only other guy I've ever heard mention the '76 tour intro music- what a great piece of music! Also the bumper music on Under Construction- how great it was to hear new music from Kerry! I, too, discovered them in '75, and saw them 6x. I got a great recording of them at the july 'Bicentennial' show at the Calderone in Hempstead but it was stolen..
