Question: OK!.!. Prog rockers!.!.Who was considered the vocalist forKing Crimsoms for "Lizards"!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Elton John!. He actually failed an audition for the band!. Brian Ferry of Roxy Music was also turned down by Mr!. Fripp!.
Though Jon Anderson of 'Yes' sang lead vocal on the song 'Prince Rupert Awakes' from the 'Lizards' album!.

Did you know that Robert Fripp taught Boz Burrell how to play the bass!? Bozz appeared on their followup album 'Islands', and later turned up as bassist in
'Bad Company'!.

*Another interesting footnote worth mentioning is that just prior to 'Lizards', Robert Fripp was offered the job as guitarist in Yes, and was to replace the then departing Peter Banks!. This slot was eventually filled by Steve Howe!.

*SKY - Thanks man! David Enthoven and John Gaydon were the 'E' and the 'G' behind famed E!.G!. Records!. The two of them were instrumental in launching the careers of King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, T Rex and Roxy Music!. In the early 80's, John Graydon also formed the music/video production company 'Medialab' with Kevin Godley & Lol Creme!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
