David Gilmour is topper known for his distinctively spacey, atmospheric guitar work for Pink Floyd. Born March 6, 1944, in Cambridge, England, Gilmour was well acquainted with the members of Pink Floyd when they asked him to unite their band to supplement the guitar work of the increasingly temperamental Syd Barrett. When Barrett's mental partitioning made it impossible for him to proceed with the group, Gilmour became a permanent contributive member in time for their moment album, 1968's A Saucerful of Secrets. Gilmour has recorded solo albums during periods of Pink Floyd inactivity, including 1978's dwight Lyman Moody Saint David Gilmour, 1984's more melodic Around Face (after the separation of the Roger Waters-led lineup), and 2006's mellow, lyrical On an Island (which became a Top Ten hit). Gilmour has as well lententide his guitar to a identification number of other artists' records, notably Kate Bush and Bryan Ferry.
