The Stranglers keyboard player Dave Greenfield has died at the age of 71 after testing positive for Covid-19.
Greenfield died on Sunday having contracted the virus after a prolonged stay in hospital for heart problems.
He penned the band's biggest hit, Golden Brown, a song about heroin, which went to number two on the UK singles chart in 1982.
The Stranglers bass player Jean-Jacques "JJ" Burnel paid tribute to Greenfield as a "musical genius".
He said: "On the evening of Sunday May 3rd, my great friend and longstanding colleague of 45 years, the musical genius that was Dave Greenfield, passed away as one of the victims of the Great Pandemic of 2020.
"All of us in the worldwide Stranglers' family grieve and send our sincerest condolences to [Greenfield's wife] Pam."
The Stranglers are an English rock band formed as the Guildford Stranglers on 11 September 1974 in Guildford, Surrey. They are one of the instigators of the UK punk rock scene.
They had no less than 23 UK top 40 singles and 17 UK top 40 albums in a career spanning four decades.
On TopPop they recorded their highly succesfull singles 'Golden Brown' and the aggressive punk anthem 'No More Heroes'.

what makes this performance hilarious is the contrast between the keyboardist and the drummer
Remember the time bands acted this way on national tv, not even trying to hide the playback, but making fun of it? And we, the viewers, loved it.
Jet drumming fresh air with his back to the kit and cameras is hilarious.
One of the most hilarious music videos ever. The drummer is pure genius!

Do you think they even realised that the lead singer wasn’t “singing” the song?
@@MrGnastygnate
I doubt the cameraman realised!
I think they knew what they were doing. These guys are awesome!
No more safe Instas anymore...
Farewell Dave Greenfield, you were an inspiration and the first true punk keyboard player ever! Your mesmerising wandering & hypnotic arpeggios will forever be held close to my heart and part of my young adult life! RIP! Thank you for the great music that will last for an eternity.
Absolutely!
I’m just now discovering them, after having discovered The Damned for myself only two years ago. Prog and Punk can be friends!
Slavoj Žižek is killing it on the drums
I would like to hear him as vocalist

@@alextimemit9454 😂😂
Thank you!
They were THE coolest punk band in a plethora of cool punk bands.
Best performance with playback I've ever seen
But they look good! And sound good too😊
I love this performance
-Dave on the keyboards just getting on with the job on hand.
-JJ miming along to Hugh's vocals in the first half then trashing the stage during the solos.
-Hugh also not caring one bit throughout and helps fellow bandmate JJ with the stage destruction.
-And Jet Black on drums just boredly playing along until the keyboard solo when he starts air drumming.
Rest in peace Dave, you'll certainly go to heaven, you're the only one who behaved in this clip
drop the mic!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So wot
The others were showing what a scam totp really was and I say brilliant for doing so. That show was produced and presented by pedos!!!
Have you seen the other version where Dave is playing bass and the drummer is playing guitar?
The very first record I ever bought in 1977 at 20 years old . . More than forty years later and 10,000 7”singles later this is still the pride of my collection.
‘Something better change’ was my first 7” an ex juke box single with the big hole in the middle so you buy a little triangle centre thingy to play it on a normal record player. 😆
@@bogmanstar889 I wrote "Hey teacher! leave us kids alone"!on mine.
The one where they are playing each others instruments is great
Dave Greenfield is the thing we're all here for. A God amongst men.
They are amazing
What ever happen to music like this no more music anymore
dear britains ,al di la' di ogni campanilismo,vi invidio perche' avete potuto godere nella vita per avere avuto a casa vostra bands cosi' formidabili!!! Stranglers formidabili! 4 individui moooltooo particolari ed originali!!!! saluti dalla Lombardia!!!
Thank you so much for your very kind words! Much love and good wishes to you from the United Kingdom 😘
Dave. The only one taking it seriously haha.
I think this was one in the eye for broadcasters who wanted them to mime.
Dave, was an amazing keyboard player. R.I.P
Rest in peace Dave, you were one of the greatest keyboardist to ever grace the music scene, you will be greatly missed! Thanks for all the great musical moments you made me feel and enjoy with this legendary band (till Cornwell's departure). Unmatchable.
RIP Dave - this was your greatest tune!
Had a great conversation with Dave backstage after the University of Essex gig in 1977. I was a student and the stranglers were one of the first "new wave" bands to play. R.I.P Dave and thanks for your time and music.
R.I.P. Dave Greenfield...
He seemed to be the only one making any effort of miming.
Bless.. Horrors all. R. I. P🤣💋🙏🤗🤗👍👍
Dave Greenfield showing his professionalism during this performance whilst the others clowning around simply sums up the group. Keyboard driving the tunes-love it! I’m unsure if Greenfield came to Australia in August 2016 , but I cannot forget the night where the boys played in a small nightclub in Fremantle and all my dreams of the past came true. Pure genius Mr Greenfield and thanks for your sounds.
rip brother.... you were the ones making me discover the punk rock scene in London....at roxy club , nealstreet WC2...great days...always in my heart ...fly straight with the raven , Dave. Happy having met you and the band at FestivHalle at Halle Belgium ...
Love how dave is always professional
I loved Dave..... with a passion.......RIP . xxxxx
One of the greatest ever bands ✌️🇬🇧
Bing back the good old days stranglers music
incredible how good JJ is at singing just like hugh lol. great example how to stick it to the man.
Never understood how they didn't cross over big time...GREAT ROCK BAND ! everyone i played them for loved them
THIS is probably the very reason they never "crossed over big time" LOL
The frenetic energy of the band has worn me out just watching the video!!!!!
One word UNIQUE ❤️
RIP Dave, we'll never forget him
I grew up on this mi dad loves stranglers, I was born in 86. Love this music 🎶
Brilliant showing top of the pops for what it was. Got to love em.
It wasn’t ‘Top of the Pops’
pure class mimickry and fair play to dave genius and gentleman belting out the notes.whatta band pUnk rools
Dave Greenfield - make way for one of the greatest ...
David Greenfield's organ and JJ's base coupled with Hugh's growl and Jet Blacks rock solid drumming made for one of Britain's greatest ever bands. Are they a touch underappreciated? Would they have wanted it any other way? I'd still love to see JJ and Hugh kiss and make up.
They were huge, monstrous, in The United Kingdom but unheard of here in The U.S outside of college radio.
@@donhancock332 The Yanks' loss, alas...
RIP Dave Many many thanks for your brainchild - Golden Brown.
And so much more!
Left behind a great legacy.
I am still mispending my long-lost youth.
Только Заинька был паинька...Love you Dave!
R.I.P. to a musical legend in Dave Greenfield!
I actually remember this song from the movie Mystery Men and this song always stuck with me. It's very catchy and the music video is a humorous riot
Frigging brilliant never be forgotten
Legend has it, The drummer could've been blind.
Another underrated band from the early 80’s.Love how they didn’t even bother trying to fool anyone about the lip syncing.
They started in the mid seventies
fantastic band live
you better watch out for the lip sync
Underrated? I fricking loved them as did any sane (and insane) teenager in the 1970/80s
It is the keyboards which set the Stranglers apart from all the others. Such a brilliant sound.
It's so sad to see the acrimony between Hugh and the other members or late members in some cases. But then I think it was a miracle they stayed together as long as they did and gave us so much to enjoy. There were a lot of contrasting, brash personalities in that group.
The piano riff is so great you guys
What an awesome performance !
Uniquely brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Notice how Dave's miming is flawless?
Brilliant Song, looks like the stage had a Earthquake ha ha . Followed the Stranglers in my time.
They are awesome 👍
Dave's a big loss,and a very accomplished keyboard player , as good as any of his peers.was more into Rock myself at the time,but the stranglers crossed and mingled with many genres.
RIP Dave Greenfield
Look of menace on Jet Black's face at 3:10, brilliant!
Ive just bought an overcoat thats the same design as Dave Greenfield's here. He had style as well as licks. Top man
The message is quite clear turn Left at the next junction folks.
9ne of my all time gav songs from the stranglers the and the clash ,in the70,s loved them RIP Mr Greenfield ,amazing sounds .
They are pissed off because they have to mime, a lot of artists used to get annoyed about it at times
its brilliant the best TOTP mimed vid ever ,love it = also why the show died they dont listen do they
Elizabeth McGowan yeah I’ve seen a video of Sting just pissing about the whole time cos he was so fed up with it
Actually this attitude is rather childish. But here they handle their annoyance admirably :)
Don't go on then. Simples
@@mcfcguvnors this is not TOTP.... it is TOP POP... dutch show
I love the Stranglers. Rip Dave.
All Genius...!!!!
Jean - Jacques........... Brilliant
One of the best song of my life
Unbridled classic from one of my favourite outfits - RIP Dave Greenfield..... :/
The run down on the bass is epic.
What an enthusiastic bunch....
I was at the Southampton gig in1979 when the Stranglers fan smashed the place up great days
I used to play in a band with one of the guys from "The Specials". He told me he loved playing these TV shows because "you didn't have to play, just jump around and have fun." I was thinking: "Well, actually playing IS fun."
But the pressure is definitely off!
They having fun and sticking it to the man. Good on ya!!!
fantstic tune !!!
greatest video of all time right here folks.
this has to be the best anti totp performance ever
The Best of the Best
To Ben Williamson, love the Slavoj Zizek comment. Love from Australia. And a great and wonder ful band. 🕸🕷🕸
I JUST LOVE THIS!!!
🤣🎹🎺🥁🎷🎸👌
I was in love with you,Dave.......R.I.P. Darling boy xxxxxx Baz xxxxxxx
One of the best intros ever.
Super song! Love it. 😘
Dave A Great master of keyboard, R.I.P
the drummer is the winner
Best intro ever captured on film
Friend in college turned me on to them in 76. Got to see them once out in California in the early 80's. When Huge left the band I stopped listening. They were a one of a kind and truly unique. Guess we all have to go some time. Make no mistake about it being young is great. Try not to waste it.....I didn't. Ok I need to get a grip on myself.
STILL awesome in 2021
Superb band showing that preforming live is the only way ,
JJ miming obscenities is superb
Nobody can play like Greenfield.
I love that! They utterly screwed the performance up.
ジャンジャックパーセル、かっこいい!キーボードとドラムがクールに淡々と演奏しているのがイギリスっぽくて良いね。
RIP Dave...
DAVE-PURE CLASS.RIP🙏
Ferkin Brilliant!
Superb
Best drummer ever ha
r.i.p Dave Greenfield
Very Nice Video
Love this vid the stranglers are just taking the Mickey. Great song. Great group.classic.
Top class
1978 they played in iceland and it was radical !
Told they couldn't play live, so they swapped places in protest. Love it.
never heard any punk group that had a keyboardist who could play as good as Rick Wakeman or Keith Emerson. that's cool!
Haha brilliant! Two fingers to the machine.
RIP....avec amour.
Not sure about the video but the music is fab!
