Virgil Keel Fox (May 3, 1912–October 25, 1980) was a renowned organist, known especially for his flamboyant "Heavy Organ" concerts of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach appealing to audiences in the 1970's more familiar with rock 'n' roll music, staged complete with light shows. His many recordings made on the RCA Victor and Capitol labels in the 1950's and 1960's have been re-mastered and re-released on CD's in recent years and continue to be widely available in mainstream music stores. <a href
