What a performance, people will still be listening to this song in another 1000 years. Endless talent and dedication in those days and glad to be part of it,nothing beats the 60s and 70s music, nothing.
And 80s.
Too beautiful for words. I am a 77 yrs old and still love our music of 50 yrs. ago. My husband and I love it.
Lived through tough, but good times...especially for the music, now 64 or 63, who cares, I made it! The music brought me through. Thanks
I'm 71 and I love this still. All or most of the older music is so wonderful. Todays garbage music is horrible
What a wonderful world we live in, this is one of the most fantastic performances I have ever heard.This really put a tingle down my spine, I cannot stop playing it.I feel glad to be alive.Love to everyone X
RIP Gary……you rocked it for decades to the end🙏🏻
i sure do miss watching and listening to the great music of the 70 s,,,,,,we were so lucky
RIP good sir. Thanks for the beautiful music.
Wow it gave me goosebumps absolutely an amazing song and singer. My dad is 73 years and he has lived every decade and he is still strong. Music like this it's always going to be a treasure.
One of the memorable songs from the classic era of "pop" music. More musicality than most young listeners can tolerate. Still sings it beautifully, too.
I have loved voice and music all of my 81 years, and am so happy to hear this again.
You will never hear better music than the songs written and performed by superior composers, musicians and singers of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
It amazed us during that amazing spring-summer of 1967- it does now ! Thanks Gary.
I am blessed to have lived through the 60s we had the greatest music and wonderful friends! I will be 70 years old on 11-01-17 God blesd America!
I was born a little later, but thank you for having had the pleasure of listening to these and other magnificent bands., I have them on vinyl for ever, and here thanks UA-cam..
I am also a privileged 70 year . So glad I got to see & hear so many great stars.What memories!
As a 70 year old I feel privileged to have lived through the finest decades of talent and music that has now disappeared sadly .
My too. This was/is one of my alltime favorite songs.
Still here and alive on UA-cam...its a library of great times and music.
Fear not. There are a huge number of young vocalists coming through doing covers of the most important music of the 60s and 70s. Even the old performers are coming out and performing as well as they always did. Here is an example.
effemess, everything comes and goes. Like waves. New beautiful ones will come, don't worry..... Have a nice day!
effemess what amazing times we ve lived !
Very Very nicly done
A true born talent ,,you cant fake it when your a senior citizen.................. Outstanding
the 60's and 70's was an amazing time for music when it was music from the heart. as a 70 year old man I find myself looking back to that time and am happy to have lived it. 287 concerts and counting
you go jerry I am 50 years old have never counted the number of concerts I have seen but its been a lot saw as a kid I still go from classical to heavy metal and all in between the only one I regret missing was the dead in Atlanta in the mid 80s dad said I was to young listen to a boot leg copy but still not the same keep on rocking I hope to
Wow, Gary Brooker! He aged like a fine wine. Sounding better then ever and looking very suave. I am so impressed. Thank you, Jack McHammer, for sharing this. :)
while I get older I appreciate more and more the talent of this gifted people.Thank you
50 years and it is still one of the most amazingly sung songs by the best voices ever. When music was music
Thanks for giving us so much memories and fantastic music.
I am 59 now and grew up with this music, I miss it so much. Such talent and perfection. Many memories.
12 years ago I was are 64 & still Marvell at Gary's great rendition of whiter shade of pale
This wonderful song, in an orchestral version, is a masterpiece and as exciting as the day it was published many years ago .. Written and sung by Gary Brooker, the introduction was composed in collaboration with the organist Matthew Fisher and at the time by he played on the Hammond organ, and was inspired by the classic pieces of Johann Sebastian Bach "Aria sulla quarta corda" and partly by the cantata "BWV 140 Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme", the surreal text is the work of the poet and lyricist Keith Reid. It is a joy to listen to it again after so many years!!!
This music will never disappear... It's the foundation of all modern and contemporary music... And yes you can feel privileged.
By the way what a great voice of Gary. WOW. congratulations.
I recall driving through the French countryside when I first heard this song. Had to stop and listen.....still do! So glad to be part of this generation.
Eine der schönsten Kompositionen aller Zeiten, seit 50 Jahren unverbraucht, erreicht Milliarden von Herzen und Gemütern rund um den Globus und bleibt unsterblich. Ein Baustein der großen Musikgeschichte !
My Brain will no forget the 60s 70s 80s,how could it ,its music at its best..
after listening to most of the music of today i thank god we had the 60' and 70'
Ditto
Bring back all. The sixties and seventies music please
How many times have now watched/listen to this video . They did this old rock classic right by paying the 'Bill ,pass due' for this great song . ' They did it right imo . Gary sings his heart out and WSP may just keep it's old title of 'Best Rock song ever .' I myself have maybe 10/15 songs i think may be #1 . But ,WSP still rules after listening to this . TY Lord for all the great music and singer's songwriter's we've had in our lifetime . As the old line goes,' I've loved them all .' It's true .!! My generation bought so much to the future only to be ignored . Rap . Doesn't float the boat with me . It is real music with it's oversampling . Huh . Rock & Roll For ever .!! TY & God Bless
What a great song from the past, this is real music... thanks Gary...
I'm 57. This song has touched me from when I was a child. This beautiful orchestrated version... priceless.🙏🙏🙏
I'm 60 agree 100%
Me too on all counts................
So am I...
Same age, same feeling....
I'm 66, and feel the same way.
Classical and Pop merge to create one of the all time great numbers. A superb rendition by Gary after all these years; just wonderful. Bach would have loved it too (Bless him).
Es war eine wundervolle Zeit die 60er und 70er Jahre.
I listen to this song ...Done in all its Glory...and it takes me to a finer place....Thanks to all Musicians who create Classics.
He was 61 years old during this performance. What a voice....Amazing
power of doping as a youngster and then figuring out one doesn't need that shit. but as we see, doping as a youngster results in this.
beautiful song i remember listening to it when i was a kid i'm 62 now so thank you for this
I was 20 years old living in Grand Rapids Mich in 1968 I had a 1967 Cameron SS convertible. what a time to be alive I must say I had a great time and great music!
OMG, this grizzled old 70 year old had goose bumps throughout this song. Not many songs do that to me.
LOVE THIS SONG MAN IT WILL NEVER GET OLD, HERE I'M 63 YEARS OLD AND IT'S STILL JUST AWESOME.
Dude, I'm 62 and this song ROCKS!!! Always has and always will! Nothing like it in todays music.
Amen to effemess. I too feel privileged to have experienced and felt it all. For the most part, music of the 60's and 70's will never have an equal. But I am encouraged by young ones who reach back seeking to hold on to the classics we experienced.
One of the very few genuine anthems that will survive for centuries.
Thank you makes me feel like 16 years old again ..loved it then and even more today
Brings back a lot of good memories. He still sounds good. Thank You for the memories.
Gary Brooker, one of the greatest musicians performing timeless music ... Perfect.
Andre where is Barbara Kowalski? I'm from the Fairfield NJ area this Rosemary Granat... No Bask in Robbins.....west Essex
That gave me goose bumps it was so hauntingly beautiful.
So incredible that can exist people that no like this extraordinary music...!!!, this is a great classic and immortal song...
50 years and his voice is still amazing. Incredible performance by all! Fantastic orchestral accompaniment
50? LMFAO
The voice sounds exactly like it did 50 years ago ... but this rendition is WAYYYY better than then.
WTF you L for ?? We all get old..You must be a young F...lol
Goldfinger Good brother
Jimmy Gilstrap nb
Songs like this (and there are not many) are why I can only get "so" down. There's a limit. Because I play this song and I feel better. Thank you Gary and Co. I mean that in my heart.
This was no. 1 in the charts when we got married on june 10 1967 and we still love it.
This is so awesome because Gary Brooker sounds fantastic, after all these years to be able to sing that good...amazing.
Truly the most awesome, Amazing music, song i have ever heard !
Such a beautiful song, a kind of soft shiny rain that polish my mind connecting my heart with thoughts that hold so tight my soul! My father used to listen this melody. Music is the most important gift he gave me!

Watching this brought back all my memories of youth and a joyful period of my life.......superbly done.
This music, Gary's voice, band performance and lyrics all together bring tears to my eyes!
STUNNING! A remarkable rendition by one of the finest musical groups of my generation..such great fortune to have witnessed it.
As it was written here just one week ago: "As a 70 year old I feel privileged to have lived through the finest decades of talent and music that has now disappeared sadly ." Thanks for these words @effemess ... thumbs up!
And to think I thought I was one of a few that loved this song. I was 9 when it was released but thanks to an older sister I had the pleasure of hearing ALL of the wonderful music of that era over and over again. Now at 60 it seems it was just yesterday. Mr. Brooker's pipes, like his music, have stood the test of time. Thank you sir for this wonderful version of a time tested classic.
Rest in Peace. We lose another great voice from our world. My childhood.
The first time I heard this song when I was 6 years old, alone and sadly missed the parents. Now I have found this song through the changing times, also my life. Amazing
What an absolutely beautiful and stunning rendition of a classic song that will never get old. His voice is still amazing and he hit some of those notes as hard as he did when it was first recorded. I, like so many others who have written comments about this performance, was taken over by this song when I heard it, when it was first released. I never get tired of hearing it.
Есть величайшие композиции - это одна из них. Просто чудо! Слушаю лет пятьдесят. Восторг!
47 years ago, today, I walked down the aisle, to the sound of a brilliant organist playing this beautiful melody. We remained happily married until death parted us 7 years ago. xxx
The best melody in rock history. And this 2006 version might be one of the greatest of all time.
Finer with time
The best song ever recorded, Mr. Booker still has the room.
Timeless music..... Still love it - decades later.
Fabulous performance. Bravo Gary Brooker!!
Loved this song when I first heard it as a child in the late 60's, still love it in 2017! Gary Brooker's vocals are still amazing!
Robert Theflyinhawai
AMAZING,,,,TRULY AMAZING.....THIS SONG HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN MY TOP TEN .........
Everywhere I went this song was on jukeboxes until there were no more jukeboxes! One of the best ever.
Thank you for a wonderful reminder of real music.
Brilliant absolute perfection. Fantastic production of a beautiful song.
61 and still in awe by this timeless song. Feels like time has standing still. However I must say there is still beauty in music nowadays. For instance Beth Harts songs "Close to my Fire" or "I'll Take Care Of You" and don't forget her "LA Song", all fantastic and heartbreaking.
Goosebumbs all over .... this Version is EPIC !!!!!
This was a great song of his, and here, even greater, what a great performance from all! Thanks for posting this beautiful song!!
Simply a great song and great version.
Many thanks for sharing such a wonderful display of Gary Brooker's incredible talents. Seems like only an eye-blink since this marvelous music was playing on radio's pop charts
How can you be a bad person when you grow up with this classic in your heart?
This is absolutely marvelous and like wine gets better with age....
Timeless...iconic...beautiful.
Dayum, Gary know he can sang.
Takes one out of this world....Superb..!!
I saw them with Supertramp in Vancouver , B.C. 1977.......17 years old....I feel old!
What a privilege to have seen this live.
A classic hymn . Timeless !
Unbelievable, You Tube is like an endless cavern of halls, rooms, gullies and cornices littered with memories made of gold... To hear this classic resurrected by its creator after so many years with such fidelity.... priceless.
GARRY ok!!merci a toi pour tant de plaisir !les coeurs les violons en plus!un fan .
Stunning, flawless performance from all involved
Concert Orchestras just add so much to the music of any band.
When I hear this marvelous song, I’m taken back to the beginnings of my voyage through this life when everything seemed impossible and inevitable at the same time. It was a wonderful time when music was so good that it was like a drug and it was free and finding its way out of every corner of the world. We, average Joes really just took it for granted. We thought it would always be there at our side, a witness to our becoming. How could we know the music would ever end? But it did. Now these are what we have left of our youth and although still as beautiful as ever, they are a painful reminder of the inexorable march of time. I don’t believe anyone under the age of 50 has any idea what I’m talking about. I hate to sound old but what passes for popular music today is an abomination of what it was.
Yep...what a voice still...and the organ solo is perfection STILL!!
holy smokes that was kickass . it's definitely a real piece of artwork . and the colors just keep getting brighter , for this whiter shade of pale . a masterpiece
هه
What a wonderfully done version of history, thank you.
I totally agree ,the craft of making Incredable music has vanished but we can always listen to these wonderful Classics
One of the greatest songs of a great era in music
At 81, these performances are so wonderful. But the people are so OLD! Kidding.
I believe the time between about 1965 and 1979 was the greatest, most prolific in history, in terms of introducing great music and new musicians. As an adult during this period, my friends and I had a "discover" group. Carol King? The day Tapestry was released I bought eight copies to spread around. I bought several albums a week. Loggins and Messina, Who, Santana, Woodstock, and on. My kids grew up as teens with 300 albums of music no other kid had!
Now I have to go and see if there's a performance of Simple Sister, or a couple other songs I remember from this album!
Right On
Jim Kerrigan Jim, Tapestry was an album I'd give to a girl I quite fancied. Another favourite was Year of the Cat from 1976, so a bit later. Dunno how many of those I gave away! This song though with the orchestra and choir...wow!
I would say that the great bulk of the classic hits were released during the 1960's-80's period. Yes there were hits outside this 30 years period before and after, but in terms of Quantity of Quality that was the period.
Jim your comments are spot on from this 66 year old but you have to back up your start date to include the Beatles and Stones and their influence. Everything changed then. BTW, I had Whiter Shade on 8 track in my car and wore it out.
The whole sixties and early seventies were amazing for the variety and excellence of pop music. Glad I was a teenager and young during the 50’s, 60’s and the 70’s!
I am 48 but I can say this is one of the most amazing recordings I've ever seen or heard! Chill bumps! Thank you!
That was incredible ! hats off to Gary Brooker
Talk about aging like fine wine. Not only have they not lost anything, I think they sound even better now than they did originally. Just amazing.
