Arthur scorched his head wearing that headpiece. He suffered for his art! 🧯

[louisnewton]

Absolutely hilarious yet surprisingly astute? What a lovely surprise of an episode!

[bigant-fp]

Met Arthur a couple of times, a wonderful man and still a brilliant singer.

[jfrorn]

Haha, his commentary is hilarious, great video as always!

I became intrigued with Arthur Brown’s work with his Kingdom Come group. It was 1973 when I heard his third album Journey. I read in subsequent articles after that release that he was an early user of electronic drums. It was more of a novelty back in the day. I didn’t know a lot about Arthur Brown as a personality, but was very amused with his review for Blind Date.

I'll take even the worst the 60's had to offer than the hateful trash that passes itself as music nowadays. Unfortunately my parents were of a very conservative generation and I had to find my own way through the musical landscape. I love listening to these comments. Some are a little snarky and some are insightful. I just cannot imagine this happening nowadays and it not inciting an all-out war between all involved.

Brown has excellent taste and is very articulate in discerning the different elements in all the music. Well done, AB, and well done, YP.

I remember watching Arthur Brown when he made his first TOTP appearance and thinking WOW what was that. He was different and what the charts needed at that time

Yet another outstanding video - your uploads pay such respect to all these fabulous artists. Love the recognition this channel gives to Skip Bifferty!!!! Thanks as always.

[EdwinJack]

Thanks for turning me on to Skip Bifferty's single "Man In Black"! Great production by Marriott and Lane. I can also enjoy "Ice In The Sun" by Status Quo. Cool to see "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" by the Small Faces topped the LP Top Ten!
Cheers!

I needed a good laugh today and got it here. LOL.. He's perceptive and got a great sense of humor. Was lucky enough to see his show back in the day. What a trip!!

"like a despairing hand disappearing in the water". I have to remember that one.

[pcno]

2:00 The Drifters has mostly disappeared from the U.S. pop charts by this time, though they probably had a presence on the R&B chart. This is a surprising turn for them, sounding a little like Sam&Dave. It's a good thing our cousins across the pond kept them going for so long after we'd forgotten them, I'm sure they made a lot of good music.

[mikejohnson]

'I'm too full of love to hate anybody' and 'This might get to number five in Italy' Memorable comments. Brilliant. Who is this geezer?

[JimPigMuseumOfSound]

Arthur Brown reviewing ‘Snoopy for President’, what an amusing matchup !

[mariuspoppFM]

"Might make number 5 in Italy" sounds funny but not too deserved. Italian listeners were indeed beginning to appreciate quality music from UK. 4 years later they were sending VanDerGraaf Generator, Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull and Genesis in their top 5 album charts

[stevecharman]

And the prize goes to Arthur Brown for the funniest and the most insightful reviews of the Blind Date series!

[alexmarshall]

Time Captives is one of the greatest tracks EVER...Arthur was less known for his "psychodelic" compositions but they are right up there 👉🎶👈👉☮️👈👉🇬🇧👈ps... It was on the other side to Fire on the "Crazy World of Arthur Brown" LP... nuffink like Fire❗

[grokeffer]

That was a good week for singles in the U.S. ❤ I especially like Hurdy Gurdy Man.

"Tiptoe through the Tamla" and other gems 😂
