I have to mention Santana's early keyboardist Gregg Rolie and his amazing Hammond on their 70s albums such as Abraxas and Caravanserai
Simply wonderful keyboards.

so many of these mentioned are journeymen - top class professionals, but not THE elite!

Every player at that level surely has to have quality in the first place. There are a few - such as these three already mentioned a few times - who stand out from the crowd - but that's not to denigrate all those mentioned who are indeed very fine musicans.
