[@alistairmccausland1580]

Yes Sharon could not agree more what an iconic song and Gary sings it beautifully I remember the first time I heard it was 1967 Top OF The Pops

[@PolGara0139]

I got into his music thanks to Douglas Adams’ book “ So Long & Thanks for Alll the Fish”

[@ВладимирМышанов]

Дорогой Gary Brooker, я преклонясь перед твоим изумительным талантом, с самого 1967г. прошлого столетия я твой неизменный поклонник, Procol Harum - это высокий класс ! Спасибо тебе, Мастер ! Rest in Peace... (!)

[@sharyd50]

We celebrated our love with and for Gary Brooker! Married 50 years after walking down the aisle to this amazing song. End of an Era! Miss you forever!

[@danielhkhk7283]

His voice got even better with age. Incredible. Such a great song.

[@elisabethbichler9634]

Absolutely. I think his voice reached its zenith in his sixties.

[@darrylevans4401]

This song is a masterpiece sung by the late and Gary Brooker Procol Harum RIP.

[@oofatony]

Disappointed no to see or hear an organ in this clip. Very good performance however. RIP Gary Brooker. Your music & legend lives on forever in our hearts.

[@mart1245]

I am 71 years old now, and this song "A Whiter Shade of Pale", still rings loud and strong in my heart, since I heard it first in my high school days. In this rendition of the song by Gary Brooker, in his senior years, the spirit of the song was expressed even better. The original instrumentations in this music: piano, organ, guitar and drums all touch the soul so much in such a way that it is almost hypnotizing. Indeed, this is one of greatest music ever composed and sang. I just heard that Gary Brooker has passed away. It is sad that such real music maker can no longer be here with us on earth, but nevertheless his voice and his music will perhaps forever remain.

[@califaafilac4251]

Yes, and it was exquisite to begin with. So hauntingly beautiful and timeless. Ethereal.

I saw Garry Brooker in 1998 with P.Frampton,J.Bruce and Ringo Star(All Stars).What a magic moment.This is one the best balad of all the time.

This song brings back so many memories. It's not rock and roll, though it was shoe horned in as such back in the day. It stands by itself as just a beautiful ballad. Will always love it!

As well as being an exceptional singer and musician,Gary was simply such a lovely guy.Another iconic loss from a golden age for music.

[@gerdhillmann-ulrich376]

It's great that we were able to experience this time! I am now 76 years old and waiting to die. I have cancer that is no longer treatable. The music of the 60s/70s helps me a lot in my last days or weeks. There will never be such a great time again!!😢Danke Gary✌

The most beautiful song. Vietnam. Boy I lived the war and the military funerals at a very young age.

[@elainelingenfelter6140]

It seems like his mannerisms are exactly the same 50 years ago when he was a young lad LOL. I love how he closes his eyes I just love everything about this group and him

[@sherrismith1520]

I have always loved Gary Brooker. Since the first time I heard this song in 1967, when I was 9 years old, I have felt like Mr Brooker somehow took part of me and magically put it into that song. That very first chord instantly grabs me in a way I absolutely cannot explain. EVERY TIME. It seems to own me somehow. Always has, always will.

[@nexxirg1826]

Es algo espiritual y de bondad que transmite en sus gestos.

[@r923tf]

Epitome of a timeless song. Ask someone what decade this song is from, they'd most likely guess it's from the 21st century. I'm also amazed Gary Brooker can still hit the notes written, unlike similar musicians his age. Love it.

Oh, we know differently! :-)

It took Matthew Fisher 40 years but he finally got credit for the distinctive organ solo which the courts agreed was original and not lifted from Bach or anyone else.

[@42Watchman]

Going back to the 1960's, there were hosts of Great Popular Music flooding the Air, and our Ears; however, there were certain scores of music that were hard to define. "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" was in that league. It was a piece of Music that you could make Love to, while it was Playing; or, perhaps, Playing it to Honor your Dead Military Friend, losing his life in Service. I believe that the maturity of Gary Brooker had much to do with that, and a piece of Music, that we, and so many young artists honor. today... ~~CR~~
