I turned 13 in September of 1966. My father had just gone to Vietnam in July. We were living in El Paso, Texas. This song came out in 1967 ( recorded in April of 1967 and released on May 12, 1967) . It colored the turbulent times with its somber tone and unique signature.

We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick But 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 And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might just as well have 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

The is the best version of this for me. Even better than the live show in Denmark. Because it's what we heard on the radio back in the day. And the terrible footage of the war still makes me cry sixty years later. That war even became part of us who didn't go there. The music helped us deal with sadness of the many young men who were gone fighting. Gary Brooker looks so young here. It was our youth. And there will never be another time like that when music was so much a part of us. Almost a physical extension of who we were.

THE VOICE SILENCED..... In 1967, the VOICE was there, and it was so enchanting that it stole and influenced several generations. I, as a boy, was there with my ears glued to the radio. 39 years later, in 2006 in Denmark, he would show the world that the VOICE still belonged to him, and it was very engaging. But 16 years after that classic performance, Gary Brooker finally silenced his VOICE. It is yet another icon of world music, informing us that we are once again orphans of musical genius.
