In 1968, worldwide recognition came with the success of "Switched-On Bach" by W. Carlos.
This album, where classical music is played on a Moog, sold over one million copies as it was
bought both by classical music fans (it was in the American "Classical" charts for 94 weeks)
and fans of pop. It won three Grammy awards.

A little later, Keith Emerson, keyboard player for the groups Nice and ELP (Emerson, Lake and
Palmer), was he himself to become an ambassador for Moog synths. He was one of the first to
play a Moog modular on stage during a tour (A 3C system). Jan Hammer was also one of the
first users of Moog systems. Big groups like Tangerine Dream, the Beatles or the Rolling
Stones, would also become modular Moog owners.
