Ed Gagliardi

Edward John Gagliardi was an American bass guitarist, best known as the original bass player for the 1970s rock band Foreigner. He was a member of Foreigner from the beginning in 1976. Gagliardi, most notably, played a Fireglo Rickenbacker bass guitar, left-handed even though he was naturally right-handed. It is widely known that he did so out of admiration, and devotion to Paul McCartney. Gagliardi was on the albums Foreigner and Double Vision ^{Ed Gagliardi, American musician (d. 2014)}
