    There can be NO other voice that resonates quite like that of Gary Brooker. And this was 24 years after originally recorded in 1967. He was, is and will always be PROCOL HARUM. Period. Listen for yourselves.

    This song is a jewel of a classic song of the 1960's. This song is a perfect example of a song that has timeless appeal. 54 years after it's debut release in 1967 it still sounds pristine. I was 1 year old upon it's release... I am now 54 years old, soon to be 55 years old and i still love this song.

    Actually a very simple song, based on the idea of a descent. It's the poetry of the lyrics and the nicely paced shaping of the several climaxes that give it its power. The weird little seventh notes on the piano and the Hammond organ solo give it its character. Then the vocal line with the delightful and very high passing notes give it class and soul.
    The Denmark performance is one of my all time favourite performances of any song. The orchestration emotion and buzz on that one is an easy 10/10. Fruit that takes thirty years to ripen is damn good fruit
