We are getting old!!!
A 40th birthday celebration of an old icon!
Just read 40 years ago at this time, ''WHITER SHADE OF PALE'' from PROCOL HARUM was number 1 on the british charts. Time goes fast!!!!
This landmark song , everybody in the world knows, except maybe a few folks in Tanzania or Mongolia, is an integral part of the birth of prog music in 1967 with other songs from this time like ''a day in the life'', ''Nights in White Satin'' and other ''Astronomy domine''.
Millions of people fell in love listening or dancing on it! he-he! even 40 years later, the wonderful sound of the organ still brings me sometimes goosebumps.
What about? your thoughts on this enduring song!!!!!
