Inducted October 26, 2017, A child of the 1950s and 1960s, keyboardist Rory Kaplan was weaned on the likes of Frank Sinatra and Henry Mancini and then had his head turned around when he heard the Beatles. A deep and abiding love for synthesizers ultimately drove him to such artists as Walter Carlos and his Switched On Bach album, ELP, Yes, Genesis and others. Kaplan ultimately took that passion for electronic keyboards and turned it into a career working with such luminaries as Chick Corea’s Return To Forever, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and most famously Michael Jackson [Bad tour]
