Arthur Brown’s Fire

the first time i heard fire by arthur brown, it was the mid 80’s & i was tuning into classic rock via KCFX. i imagined some crazy eyed costumed singer when the song started, and it turns out i was right. he used to wear a fire helmet and a devil’s head over his crotch… sometimes he even performed naked. arthur brown recorded his #1 song in 1968, and even though the radio doesn’t play it anymore, that hasn’t slowed down the god of hellfire. brown, now in his 70’s, still makes fiery psychedelic scenes. he just released live at high voltage last year.
