Kenny Salmon (17 July 1933 – 5 November 1994) was an English keyboard player who played piano,[1] organ[2][3][4] and MiniMoog on many hit records, films, radio and television shows in the 1960s and 1970s.

He accompanied artists such as Tom Jones,[7][8] Petula Clark, Engelbert Humperdinck and Shirley Bassey, Ken Woodman,[9] Dusty Springfield[10] and featured on albums by Spencer Davis and ‘Le London Allstars’, a group of session players including Jimmy Page and John McLaughlin on guitars.
He played on the theme and background music for a number of television series, including The Persuaders!, Department S and Sapphire and Steel.
Salmon toured Europe with Cliff Richard in 1976,[citation needed] and worked as musical associate on several ATV series in the late 1970s, including variety shows and a drama series, All the Fun of the Fair (1979), for which he wrote some original music.
