In 1967, Brute Force released his first album on Columbia Records and was on the brink of becoming a star. The Beatles championed his next single, King of Fuh, to be released on Apple Records. But dreams of fame and fortune quickly turned into nightmares when the record was censored and permanently shelved. In 2010, Sony and Apple reissued Brute Force’s controversial music from the sixties, giving him another chance to re-capture his dreams of rock stardom.
