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.

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.

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~~
