From the Beginning (song)

"From the Beginning" is a song written by Greg Lake and performed by the progressive rock trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was released on their 1972 album Trilogy. It is driven by an acoustic guitar line with layers of electric guitar (both rhythm and lead), electric bass guitar, and sung by Lake, with some backing on drums (played by Carl Palmer with tympani mallets and without cymbals), and with a distinctive closing synthesizer solo from Keith Emerson, accompanied by overdubbed synthesizer sounds. It hit #39 in the US and was their highest charting single. In 2002 the song was sampled by singer Amerie on the track "Got To Be There" from her debut album All I Have with Greg Lake receiving a songwriting credit.
