NICKY HOPKINS WAS A SCIENTOLOGIST?!?!?!?!? Whoa. I didn't anticipate that in a million years! StarryEyes 13:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] she's a rainbow

I believe that NH played the distinctive piano part on the recording 'she's a rainbow'? from the album 'Their satanic...' Is this true? Lentisco 01:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added sessiongraphy

I added a list of some of his classic moments. Since he isn't the consistent pianist on "Let It Bleed," I noted the songs he plays on.

I got the information that he suffered from Crohn's disease from this excellent radio documentary:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2

It will only be up for the next week. It is the only web-based citation I can find for it. If anyone else listens to this documentary, it would be great if you'd witness here that you heard this fact mentioned (it's near the end). It's a pretty crucial part of his story, since it's the indirect cause of his death, yet it's rarely spelled out. Thanks! --Sojambi Pinola 19:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Awards

Did he ever win any Grammy's or other major awards? Steve Dufour 15:06, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Session Man

The song "Session Man" by The Kinks is not about Hopkins, tough he played on it. Here's an interview in which he explains that. Can someone correct?
