A WHITER SHADE OF PALE

"A Whiter Shade of Pale" is one of few songs that can be looked back upon and be seen as the highlight for one of the most legendary cultural phenomenon's of the last century. And to say it's not well deserved is a lie. In fact, it's without doubt one of the best songs of all time.

It's a very cleverly done song with "Bach-derived" arrangements, & a beautiful Hammond organ, which is compliment by some very atmospheric drums. & I couldn't go on without mentioning the absolutely amazing voice of Gary Brooker, which is beautifully deep, with beautiful depth and texture, something that would help propel Procol Harum's status to be one of the more well-known bands in the psychedelic scene.

Then there's the B-side, "Lime Street Blues", which is a good track, but nothing to right home about. It's just a simple fast paced blues song, & doesn't match all too well with the smash hit "Whiter Shade of Pale".
