Truly one of the most theatrical musicians ever. Arthur Wilton Brown (b. June 24, 1942) is an obscure man, [[CultClassic but one revered as a]] shining example of CrazyAwesome.
After some short stints in Paris doing soundtracks and work with small R&B bands, Brown formed his iconic band ''The Crazy World of Arthur Brown'' in [[TheSixties 1966]] as a [[PowerTrio trio]] of himself, keyboardist Vincent Crane and drummer Drachen Theaker.
