Gordon Haskell (born Gordon Hionidies, 27 April 1946, in Bournemouth, Dorset, England) was the bassist and vocalist in the transitional King Crimson line-up of 1970. He appeared on the album Lizard, but quit the group during rehearsals for live work. A school friend of Robert Fripp, they previously worked together in an earlier version of League of Gentlemen. Haskell's more folk oriented interests were in conflict with Crimson's sound, so he elected to leave.

He shared a flat with Jimi Hendrix, played bass in the cult psychedelic faves the Fleur De Lys, and eventually found himself as the lead singer in childhood friend Robert Fripp's King Crimson for two albums. Unfortunately, Haskell's love for classic Nat King Cole and Ray Charles sides soon found him unhappy and frustrated in Fripp's prog-rock confines. He auditioned for Atlantic Records head Ahmet Erteg'n, which led to Erteg'n producing Haskell's 1972 solo album It Is and It Isn't. While not a commercial success, the album remains a sought-after collectible to die-hard British pop fans.
