Just learned that Gary Brooker, co-author of Procol Harem's classic hit, Whiter Shade of Pale, has died at 76...

With instruments:
Apparently this song was released in 1967, at the height of the Summer of Love... such memories!
(Gary is the singer who is playing the piano)

A Whiter Shade of Pale
Procol Harum
We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick The crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale She said "there is no reason" And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards Would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might have just as well've been closed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale

I stumbled upon this group on YouTube. This might be the best “cover” band ever. They rotate their singers and musicians depending on the songs they’re playing. Here’s their cover of a popular 1970s hit:

Ulysses, here is the band’s cover of “Summer Breeze.” Not as good as the original, but still a nice listen.

Jas,
Very nice. In fact it brought tears to my eyes.
Of course that could just be pollen, but still.
Thanks for sharing that!

Why would you have pollen in your eye? You're supposed to smell the flowers with your nose... Well, to each their own...

Jasmine is the only person who could slay HorseLady, and then decades later, bring us beautiful songs like this:
God bless her.

Here’s another pretty Hawaiian song for you, Bama. It’s one of my go-to karaoke tunes.
