The Birthday Song Of The Seagoat

Posted by Sid Smith

Birthday congratulations to the old yellow jester himself, Peter Sinfield, who is 62 years young today. 

Forever associated with the few short years he was a member of King Crimson, Peter went on to produce PFM’s Manticore debut, Photos of Ghosts and Roxy Music’s seminal first album. 

However, is probably best known for his lyrical contributions to ELP and albums such as Brain Salad Surgery.
 
In July this year, Q/Mojo’s Prog Rock special dubbed the old seagoat a prog rock hero for his work with Keith, Greg and Carl. 

Most recently Peter has completed new lyrics for Jakko Jakszyk’s reworking of Pictures Of A City. For all things Sinfield including lots of rarely seen photographs point your browsers to Song Soup On Sea.
