In his memoirs the producer and recording engineer Fred Gaisberg remembered Pike as a "silver-voiced tenor". The singer George Baker said of Pike: "He had a smooth tenor voice that was easy to record because of its even quality". However, Baker also thought Pike's style to be "unemotional". Death He died of a cerebral haemorrhage on 4 March 1936, aged 64 in Streatham, South London.
