In 1972, three young Iranian musicians came together to perform passionate rock songs for music lovers. Bahram Amin Salmasi (guitar), Ainullah Keyvan Shokooh (drums) and Bahram Saeedi (guitar) along with Eric Arkont (percussion) and Andranik Asatourian (piano) formed the Scorpio group. The band's skill in playing the works of pioneers of rock music received a lot of attention, and it did not take long for it to gain a large following in nightclubs and ballrooms. Forty years later, the memoirs of Scorpio recount the formation of rock music in Iran.
