ELP now means
music — Emerson
Lake and Powell
Emerson, Lake and Palmer, from
1969 to 1979, were known as ELP.
In 1986, with keyboardist Keith
Emerson and guitarist-singer Greg
Lake teamed with drummer Co/y
Powell, it’s once again ELP.
They- fought it for awhile, Emer
son says during an interview he
shares with Powell. "We viewed the
initials with a certain amount of hi
larity. At first we didn’t want to use
our initials. We tried to think of a
band name. People were calling us
the initials anyway. We thought, they
are our names. You work hard in the
music business to build up a reputa
tion. It seems stupid to knock it
down.”
They certainly didn’t look for a
drummer whose last name started
with P, Emerson asserts. "If Cozy’s
name had been Smith he would still
have been in the band.”
Powell got the nickname Cozy,
from jazz drummer Cozy Cole, when
he was 11 or 12. “Nicknames were
the vogue. I was at a school with guys
17 or 18, at that age into jazz. We lis
tened to Louis Bellson, Buddy Rich
and Cozy Cole.”

“Emerson, Lake and Powell," the
first album by the new lineup, is on
Polydor Records. It was No. 28 on
the best-selling chart for three weeks
in July and No. 33 the following two
weeks. But a big U.S. tour, starting
in mid-August in El Paso was sure to
send sales upward again.
Powell was in the Jeff Beck Croup
for three years in the early 1970s,
then in Bedlam, Rainbow, MSG and
Whitesnake. He has been on nearly
25 tours in America.

He says, "1 had been at the Rio de
Janeiro Festival with Whitesnake in
January 1985, the last concert I did
yvith them. In February, Keith and I
spoke. He wanted me to come down
and do some yvork on an album.
Keith’s idea was to have a second
keyboard and more guitarists and
make it a much bigger band. We
started playing and realized what we
really wanted was a three-piece
band." All three live outside Lon
