In addition to topping the British charts (and reaching number two in the U.S.) with his brilliantly demonic single "Fire," Arthur Brown actually scored a Top Ten LP with his 1968 debut, "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown".

[Confusion]
Smiles yawning wisdom
Joy or a liar's kingdom?
Sea leaves scattered in the bracken
Lemons in a spider's web
And travel down an ancient footpath
Where the sudden sand catches you
And you try to stay its favour
And find, at its source, a green leaf
Already reddened
All things have a pattern
Why is it so cold out here? (so cold!)
Let me in!
The price of your entry is sin
Go away, then return
Know which face you have to turn
Eyes are glaring, voices flaring
Why?
You're gonna burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Oh, you're gonna burn all night!
Yes, you're gonna burn in a fire that's so hot
A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
BerniSpektor
Time Bending faces
Time Mending places
Time into time
One white hand
Holding silence
Collapses Extacey's of violence
Time into time Time
Let your fist open wide
You'll find the hand of the pattern Behind which we all hide
Change into time
A bubble of blood Shot from laughter
Circles death Before and after
Time beside time

Vincent Crane is one of the definitive rock organists. This interlude 3:07 brings me to eargasm

That man sounds like he is crazy but he is a genius!

It's a thin line between crazy and genius

They'll remember old Arthur - he really is strange - talented as all hell. I just bought his new album, 80, and put out a psych album that rocks almost too hard. Tea, crumpets and blood
WORLD PEACE NETWORK
A most amazing masterpiece in a single song. Landmark The Fantasy: Glastonbury 2022 "the 8 (80 years) voices of Arthur Brown".. A full blown orchestra on the giant stage, the chorus girls, other voices/friends helping out, giant screen beyond flashing images directed/produced/sub-contracted by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Great man, great voice, great vision. Tricked out staging. Glastonbury 2022 "the 8 voices of Arthur Brown"
