Paradís "Paradís" 1976

The band Paradís was one of the groups that Pétur W. Kristjánsson set up and carried almost on his shoulders, but it was the center of a great drama that took place in Icelandic pop history in the mid-1970s...

...The background story of Paradís was that Pétur had been in the band Pelican, but that band had aimed for fame outside the country and had actually been working on it for a while when Pétur was unexpectedly fired from it. Pétur had founded Pelican himself, was its brain and face, but when foreign agents and representatives of an American publishing company made it clear to the other members of the band that Pétur was her drag, was not a good enough singer, they fired him. It was the middle of May 1975.
Pétr didn't give up and already started a new group of what many would say, led by Pelican, but it was probably never his intention to bring that group to its knees, but rather to prove to himself and others that he could sing. In addition to Pétur, the new band included Gunnar Hermannsson bassist, Ragnar Sigurðsson guitarist, Ólafur Júlíusson Kolbeins drummer and Pétur's real name, Pétur "kafteinn" Kristjánsson keyboard player.... - https://glatkistan.com/2016/04/20/paradis-1/
