Another of the greats of the underground and progressive scene of the 60s were undoubtedly The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, which had a massive success with the theme Fire, which raised them to the top of the charts in the United Kingdom, in addition to Reach the top of the album charts in the United States and Middle Europe.
But just like what would happen to Procol Harum this single and this album was a burden too difficult to overcome eclipsing the magnificent rest of his career.
But nevertheless Brown's greatest real contribution to rock music was theater; his antics on stage, from wearing a helmet with fire to crucification in addition to his different characterizations and established a standard to follow in the coming years (Peter Gabriel, Alice Cooper or Kiss copied this idea in the 1970s with notable success ).
From this formation Atomic Rooster would emerge some time later with two of its members (Carl Palmer and Vincent Crane).
