It will always remind me of them, my teenhood with a singing brother and my marriage with a sentimental husband 🥰 Oh... such beautiful and precious memories are embedded in my mind of how we used to dance slowly to this song.

What a wonderful post, and what a wonderful memory. I remember slow dancing to it too, when I was too young to know what it was about or what was supposed to happen when you slow danced with a girl. . . But it moved me in some way I couldn't explain and can't now, except that that's what some music does. And it still moves me, it really does. 'Singing softly and chatting to me' - that almost made me cry, and I hope you've been very, very happy.

The best ever made. I’m 43 years old and I fell in love with this masterpiece the very first time I heard it sometime in the early 90’s. Wasn’t born in 67 when this song came out but I can confidently say that it still evoke the same feeling, that most of you had when it came out in your day. I love it and to me it’s the best song ever made in the history of music on planet earth

Music is the only language without any barriers. When I heard this song for the first time 40 years ago, I fell in love with the music right away, even though I could not understand the lyrics. 40 years later this song is still fresh like spring rain. Rest in peace Gary Brooker and his beautiful voice. His music will live forever

True words

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

This music will be heard 1000 years from now . It was when artists and bands had huge talent, they didn't care about fame or big money, only to make a difference and touch people soul and heart . For me this is the best song of all time : The lyrics, the instruments, the great voice of garry and the feeling i have when i hear this song. Thank you gary brooker, thank you procol harum for making history and touched my heart so many times with this masterpiece.

It's highly debated why Bobby and Ray left, but I think Gary wanted to reunite The Paramounts, so Robin and BJ "rejoined". Hopefully your uncle made a little money from WSOP, but apparently a session drummer was used (Bill Eyden). It was cool to see him on the video!

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.

I remember this song. As i sat in the hospital emergency waiting room. I was only 4. This song was on the intercom. My mom was very sick. She was admitted and stayed 2 weeks in the hospital. It was just my dad and I at home. We missed her so much! All I could remember was this song. To this day every time i hear it I get sad..

Thank you, Procol Harum, for the most amazing piece of music of the 60’s. Love it.

You go back in time and the violence of the country and racial tensions they don't know what violence was until you see it growing up. JFK, MLK, and RFK, shocking to see the waste of the humanity and good people.

Não você não é uma velha alma,simplesmente você é uma jovem com bom gosto musical. Assim como voce existem outros jovens que nem sonhavam em nascer na década de 60 pra curtir essas musicas de 60 e 70. São uma .inoria mas existem felizmente 😊

Ce morceau passait en 1968 dans les fêtes scolaires de fin d'année. J'avais 6 ans et je regardais les "grands" de 12 ans qui se trémoussaient dans une danse collé-serré et je regardais ma maman d'un air étonné. Aujourd'hui les slows n'existent plus, ma maman est partie mais la mélodie, elle, d'une telle beauté, restera éternelle.

Genius. That is all that may be said of this. Where on earth could this possibly have come from, but thank God that it is here.

Negli anni 70, in una discoteca sotto le note di questa canzone conobbi una splendida ragazza, lei aveva 18 anni io 22, tutte le domeniche era li ad aspettarmi, x ballare quei lenti che ti regalavano vere emozioni, tutto questo duro' qualche mese, ma x colpa della mia timidezza non sono riuscito a darle nemmeno un bacio. Conclusione non l' ho vista piu', e questo episodio e' il piu' grande rimpianto della mia vita.

I was invited to a local club to for a concert, not knowing who they were. I never knew the name of the band who played this beautiful song and won that came out. I tear wrote down my face. I am so glad and grateful I wasn’t invited to this concert. ❤🌎🇨🇦

I was 17 when this amazing song was first released. I’m now 73 and have listened to some amazing songs in my life then but none has ever changed my view that A Whiter Shade Of Pale is the greatest song ever.

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 composers of this song were 21 & 22 years old when they wrote it. That wasn’t amazing then. It is amazing now.

Whiter Shade of Pale came out the year I was born in '67, I loved it as a kid and even more getting old. Thanks for uploading.

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.
