I AM THE GOD OF HELL FIRE AND I BRING YEW...

[Dacfu]

Damn... this cover is freaking awesome

Fire!!! This song was played in the funeral of a very dear friend of mine, Frank Gormlie from Scotland, in 2010. He worked with this guy in the 70´s and he chose the song himself for his funeral! Best funeral I´ve ever been!

[UberLummox]

Can't thank you enough for this.

I love his voice and the organ! I used to play his "Fire" rendition out my window at the boarding school in the middle of the Bible belt, in Tennessee, in 1968/69 ! It felt so good to get up to that song!!!! I was pretty angry : )

Oh My God!!! How fabulous is this!!! He and Screamin' Jay Hawkins were ♪♪♫ fodder for those wanting their minds blown!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[BloxorzWizard]

@jhiles1001 absolutely correct... the organ work is phenomenal and Arthur Brown is simply jaw dropping with this rendition. The orignal by Screaming Jay Hawkins is good, but a little too affected, IMHO. Arthur's version is just straight out powerful and hits at the very chord of the message in the song. I also like some of the other renditions e.g. CCR (Fogerty), Nina Simone. et. al. But Athurs voice just has that pathos and edge to it; he's not just singing a song... he means it!

Sweet sweet music for our ears. Lets all hope when we are gone that we can burgain to have our souls listening to these hymns!!!!! No need for antidepressants with this!!!

[GuyWithNoName67]

I couldn't think of anyone better to cover this song...
