It has been one year today. In my heart your music is always playing. Rest well my brother 🙏🏼


I met Eric Knight over 40 years ago when I was just starting out in the music business and he was already well well established. He had a love for music that went way beyond money or fame if he saw something in a person that he felt other people should hear he would help. At that time I was just starting out my pockets were empty and what he charge me for musical arrangements the paper that he wrote the music on, cost more than what he charged me. His musical arrangements helped me to get steady work with Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and perform in 47 countries around the world. Every musician would always ask  me who did your arrangements, and I proudly responded Maestro Eric Knight.  Eric became my brother, a family member to me. We would talk every month, and at the close of our beautiful conversations he would always have a joke and we would laugh and laugh and laugh. He would call me EVERY birthday.
Out of all of the people that I known, or will ever know there will never be another Eric Knight. Rest in peace my brother I know you are conducting that full orchestra in heaven. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We will miss Eric.  It was always so wonderful to be able to get together.  He was a wonderful person and we loved going to hear music with Eric and Joannie. Rest in peace, Eric.  May his memories be for a blessing.
Love, Regina and Irv Richards
