Pink Floyd: Have a Cigar (1975)


Roy Harper sang lead vocals on “Have a Cigar” making it one of two Pink Floyd songs featuring a guest singer (The Great Gig in the Sky). The song is about the music industry and loss of innocence and idealism in the corporate world.  The work includes the line “By the way, which one is Pink?” David Gilmour reminisced that people used to ask the band this question all the time mistaking the group’s name for a person.
