Some of us are trying to identify the first/earliest R&R artist/s to wear full face make-up. So far the earliest we can identify is this "crazy" dude circa : 1968.

I guess Alice Cooper was just a little later.

Chris, I think you're on to something. It seems these Americans came out just ahead of Arthur (after all, Americans invent everything 1st   Wink  ).

Well, we could also add Elvis, but we are referring to full-face make-up and no, Al Jolson doesn't count.
