Peter Sinfield was a pivotal figure in progressive rock, known for his mystical and politically charged lyrics for King Crimson, which shaped the genre in the 1970s.
Mr. Sinfield linked up with Robert Fripp in 1968, contributing to King Crimson’s foundational sound as the lyricist for their first four albums, starting with In the Court of the Crimson King.
Reflecting on the band’s name, Mr. Sinfield shared, "If we just take it from the song and just call it King Crimson, that's pretty powerful. It isn't the Devil... it's arrogant, and it's got a feeling of darkness about it."
