Only 6 years older than me, really way too young to die.
Well, you had a happy life, family, friends, and enough talent as to shine on your own as part of one of the most original prog-metal bands in the whole world, SHADOW GALLERY. You turned your influences from Geoff Tate and R. J. Dio (mainly) into something original, using technique and emotion to use the delicately melodic vocal lines that used to fill all SG compositions with sheer perfection. From the optimistic vibe of 'Crystalline Dream' to the power of 'Rain' to the melancholy of 'Christmas Day' to the reflective mood of 'Don't Ever Cry, Just Remember', you nailed it when it came to translating thoughts and emotions into vocal sounds.
Thank you for the music, Mike: not mortal anymore, but immortal. Edited by Cesar Inca - October 31 2008 at 18:11 |

From the Official website of Shadow Gallery - http://www.shadowgallery.com/release.php
"ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the passing of Shadow Gallery vocalist, Michael A. Baker. Mike suffered a heart attack, Wednesday afternoon, October 29th, 2008. He was 45 years old. Mike was a founding member of Shadow Gallery and for the past 16 years, helped shape the sound of the band with his magical voice. Additionally, he made many appearances on rock records around the world. Those who knew him best were moved by his gentle spirit, sincere kindness , fun nature and passion for both music and sports. He was a warrior in the studio, a true professional. Mike was our friend, our singer and our brother. We loved him and will miss him enormously, but he will always be remembered in our hearts and through his music." |
