‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’ by Procol Harum was at #1 on the Billboard Charts on this day in 1967.

“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”

Today on the Kyle Meredith With… podcast, I’m rewinding to my conversations with #RandyBachman (#TheGuessWho / BTO) and the late Gary Brooker of #ProcolHarum to talk legacy, reinvention, and the shadows that linger in rock history.

Procol Harum, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (1967)

"And so it was that later,
When the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale"

Before his passing, #GaryBrooker reflected on 50 years of #ProcolHarum:

🎹 “A Whiter Shade of Pale” still felt fresh
🎻 Orchestras + rock before it was cool
📦 Final box set: Still There’ll Be More

“We’re not going anywhere but forward.”

#ProcolHarum veröffentlichte 1974 ihr neuntes Studioalbum #ExoticBirdsAndFruit über Chrysalis Records. Es war das erste Album ohne Keyboarder Matthew Fisher, der die Band nach "Grand Hotel" verlassen hatte. Als Single wurde #NothingButTheTruth von Gary Brooker und Keith Reid ausgekoppelt. Die Aufnahmen fanden in den AIR Studios London statt. Trotz solider Qualität konnte das Album nicht an frühere Erfolge wie "A Salty Dog" anknüpfen.
