Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, at various times also known as "Velvet Opera", was a British Rock band active in the late 1960s. The group emerged from a soul/blues band called 'The Five Proud Walkers', and after supporting Pink Floyd on tour, they were inspired to change their approach and become a more psychedelic outfit. Their first recording was the single "Flames" (November 1967) which was later covered on stage by Led Zeppelin.
