Edward John 'Ed' Gagliardi (b. February 13, 1952, in New York City, NY, USA) was the original bass player for the 1970s rock band Foreigner. He was in Foreigner from the beginning in 1977. He played a Rickenbacker bass guitar left-handed even though he was a naturally right-handed. Ed claimed he did that because of his devotion to Paul McCartney as as bass playing inspiration. Gagliardi was on the albums Foreigner and Double Vision, but he was replaced by Rick Wills in 1978. In 1981 he was part of the band Spys with former Foreigner keyboardist Al Greenwood.[1]
