Procol Harum – A Whiter Shade Of Pale 7" single 1978

Description: Procol Harum – A Whiter Shade Of Pale 7" single 1978 AA Whiter Shade Of Pale Written By – Brooker, Reld BHomburg After the rhythm & blues band The Paramounts disbanded in 1966, singer Gary Brooker helped form Procol Harum early in 1967. In July that year, the band got their first #1 hit A Whiter Shade of Pale, co-written by Brooker & Reid, becoming one of the first real "symphonic rock" songs. A lot of albums and singles were released afterwards, but never enjoyed the success of their first single.Band friend and record company owner Guy Stevens came up with the group's name Procol Harum, a mis-spelling of the Latin phrase Procul Harun (roughly meaning “far beyond these things”), which was also the pedigree name of his Siamese cat (who actually was marked Procul hīs). (Another explanation is that it was a corruption of Procellarum, a vast ocean on the Moon.)
