I just "discovered" this song and imho it is one of the best songs ever done by Iron Butterfly. It sounds so great on a good stereo and I love Erik Brann's voice on this song. Wish more people could hear it.
@❻ • B L V C K ❾ C V L T • ❻ their first comeback album is unlistenable for most people. I love it. It is one of my guilty pleasures. Brownsville Station, Partridge Family, the last BTO album) it is so bad.... it’s good. They use sounds no one can describe what instrument it is? Blocks of wood, an electric carrot. The beating of a sun splashed sidewalk. But two or three songs save that album. ( Scorching Beauty)All I know is that the keyboard??(where) player was so bad, they couldn’t put the title track on the first album. He couldn’t play it!! So they came up with ‘Before You Go’ which turned out to be one of the best songs on the album. Great guys all. This lineup only made two albums, 74-75. Saw them in Jersey and stayed with them for about 18 hours. Saw the original line- up in ‘88. Eric told me all their gear got stolen that night in.’75.. the guy that was with me was a hanger on and a thief. I just hope it wasn’t him. He didn’t feel like talking after he told me that, me either. R.I.P. guys.❤️
@@scottcheney3696 She’s Only Rock & Roll!……. Good for you guys!!!!!!. NYC radio sucks the big one. In the ‘70’s it was about the best, you could here White Witch, Captain Beyond, Gun, Three Man Army, Hawkwind, Necktar, the Original ( and best) Journey! and so much more. Then came the mob, the buying up of all the indie labels, and Corporate Rock! Since then NY. Radio is a joke. ( unless you like to dance, rap, or you listen to the same 100 rocks songs played over and over- classic rock) Only real rock station we have is WSOU, Seton Hall, Pirate Radio. Only problem, half the time they still play the old growling stuff and stupid death metal. No one is playing any Stoner or Psyche. Sucks. My dream is to have a progressive Rock station here in the Tri- state area. Just need a few people that are up on current bands and CAPITAL.
One of the most invisible songs there are. Not enough acknowledgement was given to this. IN A GADDA DA VIDA - 1968 is everyones first choice. Given this is my #1 of all time. Tears to my eyes.
@@rp82125 On my third now,(10 years). It mostly depends on her tolerance and your fidelity. The part that sucks is ‘ The Change ‘. Half go through it fine, the other half lose their desire. Mine lost her desire and you know what happens then. So far, I’ve been good. She understands my desires and finds other ways to satisfy me🍭😄🤫. Life.
I heard it while driving around Columbia, MO late one night in 1979 on KCOU. Cant remember if that was MIZZOU's station or Stephens College. I fell in love with it and Erik's voice. I called the radio station and they told me it was 'Scorching Beauty' by Iron Butterfly. I found the album entitled 'Scorching Beauty' but it wasnt on that album! I've looked for this song ever since then. Could not find it anywhere, until now. Heavy emotions flood back into my mind. One of their best songs, in my opinion. ❤
KCOU was the university's station. KSHE in St. Louis played Scorching Beauty when it first came out three or so years earlier, and I believe it still does on occasion although I no longer live in the area. The song is actually on Sun and Steel album because--as the story goes--the Iron Butterfly keyboard player at the time could not play the song well enough to include on the album of the same name, "Scorching Beauty".
I saw Iron Butterfly right after Inagoddadavita came out. First year of the Mississippi River Festival 1969 or 1970. It was my first concert. I was 10 years old. Been hooked ever since!
@@willewis6778 Did KSHE ever play Belda Beast by Iron Butterfly? I never heard it when I lived in the St. Louis area for eight years in the 70s and early 80s.
Scorching beauty, your sun has risen Leaving at all to see If your warmth can touch on anyone Tell me why can't it touch on me? Tell me why! Clad in lace, maiden love understanding Morning's mist piercing through your gown Take me in hand, you make me a man Makes you wish that love could stick around I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you I never would go, I never would go, I never would go, my, my, my... I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you I can't make it, I can't make it, I can't make it you know Scorching beauty, my love has been given Burning your way back into my heart Working me up to a feverish sigh Through it all, know I'd be standin' by I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you I never would go, I never would go, I never would go, my, my, my... I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you I can't make it, I can't make it, I can't make it you know From AZLyrics
Gorgeous song, one of my favorites from Iron Butterfly. Kinda bittersweet that it’s the last IB song from the last IB album, but it is, as the song says, a “scorching beauty.” And the rest of the album in my opinion is excellent too. It may not have sold diddly back in the day, but at least Iron Butterfly went out on an artistic high with “Sun And Steel,” and this kick-ass final song. 😊
As a kid I'd listen to Gadda and read the back of the album cover, Erik Brann's mini bio always intrigued me.Never knew he could sing. Doug Ingle should have given him more of a chance. RIP.
Braun had a limited range vocally. His other notable IB song is Termination, for which his vocals were well suited. His vocal abilities weakened as he got a bit older, perhaps due to his congenital heart condition from which he died quite young.
@HQ "A beautiful song from a bland album" Perfectly put! How did this wonderful jewel end up on that overall forgetful album? Thank you so much for posting this pearl!
Right/ Wrong has that killer part! Love the title track! The album was a big step up for them from their previous album of unknown sounds. Why is it so hard to write killer tunes for some?
I actually liked this album. Scorching Beauty, Scion, and the title song, I thought were really good. I couldn't ever get into their previous album called Scorching Beauty.
Eric Braun wrote some great songs, just not enough on his own to fill an album. His earlier contributions to Iron Butterfly in the late 60s were very, very good (Termination and Belda Beast specifically). But without Doug Ingle and the rest of the best lineup Iron Butterfly had there wasn't enough good material to fill an LP. Most of the rest of Sun and Steel and practically all of the album Scorching Beauty sound derivative and like we've all heard the stuff before. However, this song Scorching Beauty is a classic--no doubt about it.
Ese mellotron subyuga. Sin estar en su momento de esplendor y ya con cambios significativos en su sonido y formación originales, Iron Butterfly consiguio con esta una de sus mejores canciones.
Certainly not the vocalist Doug Ingle was/ but this album and the other one with this lineup were interesting in that it was one half of the classic version of Iron Butterfly !!!
Chicago like a lot of bands had great music in the first half of the 70’s, mainstream but good. Music changed and it turned into a hit 45 market place. Just ask Journey or Grand Funk. From heavy progressive richly to 13 year old girls swooning. That is why Punk and metal’s rebirth in 1980 had to happen. To save rock. Same reason there are so many heavy rock bands now. Thousands of Stoner rock bands and Psychedelic and Doom bands. I can’t keep up and at 65 I don’t want to.
. I just had two Re- releases this year of my ‘80’s metal band, The BEAST! We never released a full length album back then, just an e.p.( Power Metal) on Mutha Records and three songs on Born To Metalize.( Megaforce Records). I now have a full length cd and dvd and a song out on Riding Easy Records. Instead of money , I asked for CDs!! They drove a truck to my house. I now have about 40 new cd’s and the complete ‘Brown Acid’ series. Cool obscure bands from the ‘70’s! Stoner beginnings.I am recording all my old TYRANT songs from the late 70’s. Hopefully that stuff should be out by summer.

Me too! I wondered if there was anyone else out there that heard this. Rock On!
Heard this on KSHE radio years ago. It is from 1975. Written and lead vocal and guitar, Erik Braunn.
Me too .. KSHE

Beautiful song and great guitar work by Erik Brann.
Bought the album just for this song. Still have it.
What album was it on? I bought the Scorching Beauty album and it was not on it.
@@peacelizard8676 It is on Sun and Steel album.
Absolutely brilliant, pity the rest of the album doesn’t compare. Fabulous band with some brilliant songs on other albums. Metamorphosis is ace!!!
Listen to this Jewel at least twice a week. Keeps me young and takes me to a time when we had music we can understand..
Great reply friend, gave me a smile and lifted my spirits reading that. Keep safe and well.
Hhmmm...
It was recorded at Paramount Recording on Santa Monica and Vine St. The place is still there!!!
Its fucking nice to knoow
Man! The guitar sizzles on this song!
Scorching beauty, your sun has risen
Leaving at all to see
If your warmth can touch on anyone
Tell me why can't it touch on me?
Tell me why!
Clad in lace, maiden love understanding
Morning's mist piercing through your gown
Take me in hand, you make me a man
Makes you wish that love could stick around
I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
I never would go, I never would go, I never would go, my, my, my...
I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
I can't make it, I can't make it, I can't make it you know
Scorching beauty, my love has been given
Burning your way back into my heart
Working me up to a feverish sigh
Through it all, know I'd be standin' by
I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
I never would go, I never would go, I never would go, my, my, my...
I never would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
And if you would go, you know, you know, I can't make it without you
I can't make it, I can't make it, I can't make it you know
