Gary Brooker's voice is simple ICONIC. This song is a rock classic that will never die. When asked what he thought was the greatest rock song ever written, Peter Frampton didn't hesitate to retort, "A Whiter Shade of Pale". This song came out in a time of war... a time of confusion... where most of us were looking for peace and serenity amongst strife and disorder. But great things were happening too. I am a former B3 Hammond Organ player who played and sang this song in various bands, through the 1970's and 1980's, more times than I can remember. No one does it better than Gary Brooker. Thank you for sharing and reacting to this awesome classic.
There were only 43 singles in history that sold over 10 million physical copies. This is one of them.
And one of the BEST i might Add
Great comment.
@@vandalayindustries3057 George?
And with good reason every bit as good as it was in the summer of love and my late mother's favourite ..we disagreed on everything apart from music
Those were truly the good old days
There is something about this song. I don't know if it's the organ or the voice or both, but it reaches down into your soul and you "feel" this song. You just feel it.
first song I ever liked
What a beautiful song this is... And it's only a Bach variation.. not a Bach copy..
Absolutely.... absolutely...
It's the orchestra and the true emotion of the tune! Fantastic!
It's called, 'the touch of JS Bach'
when I was 10 years old , back in 1977, within 6 month my father and one of my brothers passed away. As a German kid, I didn't understand a single word of this song, but there was this strange kind of support in my sadness. There was no need to understand the song, it felt like the song understood my sorrow.
Sounds like you were meant to hear it at that exact moment!!!💜💜💜
I will never understand your loss, but I feel empathy... I'm glad this song brought you at least a little comfort
I'm British and understand all the words but still have no idea what it's about. But it doesn't matter, the song just bypasses the brain and goes straight to the heart.
Hallo, when I happened on your comment?...At das end it made me smile. :-)
Emotional comfort ist often unexpected und simply there when you can only sit und
cry so desperately that nothing else in your life matters...But it wraps warm arms
around you, und helps you through das crying that you can't stop alone.
My family has lived/worked our farm for almost 375 years (1647 CE). This land
has witnessed much death, but I've been quite fortunate not to suffer das sudden
loss you have.
I have only das many pictures in our hall of das main Haus to ponder, das recent of
them 6 family who perished during WW2, a 19 year old girl who would be my Oma
und 5 young boys who wished to be brave soldiers...All of whom I never knew.
I first heard this song when I was quite young as well. Mum was listening to it
as she often did her Rock music while cooking. This was at times confusing for me
because I've been playing violin since age 8 und Cello at age 10, so I've been a
passionate Rocker most of my life und ist second only to my love of symphony
composition. :-)
I would have much liked to attend this outdoor concert in Denmark.
I think Denmark has become their own in many disciplines und arts quite similar
to most European countries.
I can't imagine any emotional anguish that may still consume you at times, but I do
hope that you can remain strong enough to bring forth das pleasant memories
you have of your father und brother...und they make you smile. :-)
Have a peaceful, constructive, or fun day that ist as you choose.
I have chores in das stables abit later in das evening.
I'm thinking an early lunch now though...Mum has made her Rouladen und I have
a new bottle of French Pinot that will do nicely. :-)
Stay safe in your Haus from COVID if ya feel need,
und help others if ya can.
Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
@@ivankaleoniefuchs333 that was the sweetest, emotional post I've ever read!!! Truly beautiful!!💜💜💜💜
Gary was good in 1968. But just like fine wine, he aged and he got even better, and at age 63, was great. Not many artists ever reach this level at this age.
Gary Brooker - one of the most iconic British voices of the Summer of Love.
True
One of the most iconic singing voices in popular music history.
RIP 2022-02-23
I'm an aging baby boomer, so of course I'm biased towards "my" music. It's always a joy to experience it again through the eyes and ears of a new generation!
Ringo Starr (the Beatles) said that he considered this song the defining song of the 60's. Great reaction!
The Beatles were in a limo somewhere and this came on the radio and John said “I wish I’d written this”. ‘Nuff said.
This is one of the greatest songs of all time, and hearing Gary Brooker STILL sing it so magnificently 40 years after the original recording did my heart so good!
When my dad got back from Vietnam, for months he would listen to this song at night over and over and let out all his pain from the things he experienced in combat. It’s one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
That's beautiful and so sad. Thanks for the comment..
I shared this version a few days ago. It always gets to me.
It's true, the older you get, the more music "gets" to you.
No autotune, just the power of the person(s) using their god giving voices. Can only love that. Have always love for this music.
Love your reaction on this
Where his voice comes from could be "metaphysical", but unlikely, mr Josefsen.
When a song is so beautiful, you feel like crying and dont know why?❤
It is a very deep emotion that music brings out. At 75, I find some of my music almost overwhelming to listen to. But I have to. Let it take you where it will. Just enjoy.
I was in my teenage years when "A Whiter Shade of Pale" hit the charts in the US. At first many believed the singer was black as Gary Booker's voice was so soulful. It's 50+ years later both the song and Gary are still awesome!! One of the great songs from the British Invasion.
You don't just listen to this...You feel this in your soul !!!!
My Whiteer Shade of Pale is named Luanne, last saw that smile on September 28, 1973. I miss her so much.
Thank you so much for doing this Shiloh! I’m so glad you enjoyed this. The Danish National Orchestra and Chorus were the back up. The 1967 original version is also beautiful. Thanks again!! 😊🌹🌹🌹
I’m 65 and love this song more every time I hear it. Classic.
It is so nice to see a beautiful young lady, like you, really appreciate a 50 year old song like this. Thanks for your input.
Loved this first time hearing in 67. One of the greatest songs in music history for me.
I'd never heard this version before. I like it better than the original. His voice is every bit as good as it was 40 years earlier.
very true
Great version
Over a half century now. This is a song for the ages.
I think he sung it better in this version.
Or maybe it's because this one isn't quite as fast as the original.
That's the crack, detomaso, 40 years on ! Shiver mi timbers, never tire of it.
How the orchestra brings the music to a close is perfection. Breathtaking.
What in the world has happened to the human race!!! Who’s creating music like this anymore??? So pure and brilliant and oozing with talent and authenticity:.
I was never into Procol harum , but Whiter Shade of Pale is just one of those iconic songs that reaches right into you. Personally I've always found the original recording in its subtly to be poignant. Such a great song.
I am so happy that you young UA-cam reactors are discovering the magic of this performance!
Whiter Shade of Pale, Shine On Brightly, A Salty Dog...Gary Brooker & Procol Harum wrote and performed some of the most intense and amazing songs in rock...ever. MAN they were good. Lump in the throat time!
Heard this song so many times and this performance brought a tear to my eye thanks for sharing your reaction
One of my favorite songs of all time! Booker still has the magic!
Love to see young people experiencing those great songs of such depth and emotion.
This is one of those hidden gems on youtube. Such a great performance of a classic song.
That's an old Hammond organ that makes it so beautiful. ❤️🤭
There is a very touching scene from the show China Beach where McMurphy dances with a gentleman in a wheelchair to this song 💚
This song always makes me want to go back in time to listen to Bach's: Air on G string. One of the most beautiful flowers in the garden of Baroque.
There's a reason for that: This melody was based on Air on the G String.
As you can see by the video how old everyone is they first came out in th 60's but this song still shows how timeless it is love that you enjoyed it keep up the great work 🤟🤟
I can’t believe he can still belt it out like this! Typically when people age their voices start to suck; his is still spot on after what, five plus decades since the song was originally released?
This was by far my favorite song back in 1967
I honestly don't know how anyone - having never heard the song before - doesn't immediately listen to it again.
One would think that with the orchestra, the choir, the organ, and the phenomenal vocals that this took days or weeks to produce in the studio. What we just listened to was done LIVE. It is an overly used word and I try not to use it, but this performance was simply awesome.
I wish you had grown-up during these times as I did; I was in my early teens back then and grew up listening to all kinds of music from the 50''s to date and truly loved most of it. I don't like filthy or rude music, but music in those days was more about love and peace and exploration with the changing technology at the time. Thank you for your appreciation of better times.
Shiloh thank you for this song i lost my mum to liver cancer in 2007 and her favourite song of all time was Procol Harum whiter shade of pale so this song holds a special meaning for me
Many people react on the orchestra and the singer but your nodding movements reflect perfectly the original organist as you can see in videos of their early recordings. In fact the organ composition is most outstanding that gives this song an unforgettable value. It's not for nothing that the original organist had seen a great part of the royalty attributed to him.
Love your reaction!
This is one of those songs where I don't remember exactly when I first heard it, (I was about 4 when it came out) it has always had such a calming effect listening to it throughout the years, such a great song!
I was in the same airport bar as him in London, 5ft away, and wanted to tell him how much I loved this song but I didn't want to disturb him as he was eating. Still the right decision, but sorrowful also.
From one Ross to another: the right thing to do!
I still see him as a young twenty-something in 1967, cape draped over his shoulders and singing just the same way. God bless, Gary, and your mates.
A stunning and wonderful song. You should listen to the song from the original band members way back in their youth. Haunting and nostalgic.Brings up so many feelings and memories of a lifetime gone too fast.
I felt like you really connected with this song. Some songs are just so timeless that they live on forever
My favorite song of all Time..❤❤❤
13 yes old , Provinse Town , my first concert - Procol Harem.
What an incredible performance this is .
I listen to the song whenever I need my spirits lifted , inspiration in the face of life’s realities.
I was 17 when this song came out. It's one of the best songs ever written. The world seemed filled with promise now we're headed to destruction. I'm glad I'm old because I see no future for us.
pro call hair rum ( pretty close pronunciation) It is one of the top 5 most played songs in history.
2021. Such a sweet reaction to a true classic of our time. I can feel the passion on your facial expressions. I see you love the instruments along with the vocals. Keep all this music in your heart. 'Cause I can see you truly feel each note. 😎💥
Gary Brooker, Procol Harums songwriter and leader wrote some very thought provoking music in the 60's, My fav album was "Shine on Brightly". His vocals are still top notch today.. Thx for reacting Shiloh, peace :)
One of the BEST and most beautifull songs Ever and this is also my favourite performance of it.
A beautiful lady listening to a beautiful song ,perfection .🇬🇧
This song goes so deep, it moves people ... and the Greg Allman/Jackson Browne version of "Melissa." Just beautiful music. We're blessed to hear them, every time.
This is from my youth it was an era of lots of bands whose songs touched your soul you felt the music deep down you didn't just listen to it. this type of song writing and composing has sadly long past into history, so it is great taht some of you young ones are finding it aagain. Enjoy!
You witnessed one of the great songs from my era. This song was released in 1967. It always brings back memories from 50+ years ago.
Amazing voice i know this song quite well having grown up in the 80s but never knew it had been sung with a whole instrument section like this.
It doesn't get much better. A beautiful lady, reacting to a beautiful classic.
I enjoyed your heartfelt reaction so much. It's wonderful to see young people thoroughly feel this song. Thank you!
Great, Great voice. His voice never seems to age.
Being 72 years of age, this song has a nostalgia difficult to describe for me. The 45 was released on May 12th, 1967. I bought one of the ten million sold. Just over two weeks later, the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's. Procol Harum's debut song, along with Pepper's, became emblematic of the Summer of Love. This conjoining of orchestra and song here is an exultation and testament to the magic of music.
This song, for whatever reason, was an anthem to us in high school in the late 60's. It still touches my heart whenever I hear it. Thanks for reacting to that!
From the Basket ball hall of fame. Thank you young lady for playing this song . Has a deep meaning to a old guy. Thank you.
This creation will live on forever as one of the master piece compositions of the 20th century. The tragic loss of Gary Broker will also be remembered as one of the great tragedies. Rest in Piece my old friend until the time we meet again.
I wish I could take this young lady back in time & bring her to these live concerts.
to still have this voice after almost 50 years, the range and the strength of it, AND he got to keep a healthy head of hair -- seriously, the gods have smiled upon him, lol.
Not crazy about this version like the original recording better
What a performance ! The song deserved the orchestral treatment. Thanks for reacting.
You were correct, it's an emotional song, but more than that, it is one of the most revered, loved, and wondrous songs from the magical 60's and 70's, and of all time.
A salty dog and Conquistador from this same performance are amazing too.
It's one of a small number of songs with an almost mystical quality. It touches a deep level of the human psyche. Countless people have recounted that when they first heard it, everything "stopped" while it was playing. The song demanded their full, uninterrupted attention.
This first time I heard it, I pulled the car over to the shoulder of the road, cut off the engine and just let the radio play, as I listened in rapt amazement.
Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin and A Day In The Life by The Beatles produce similar reactions.
Everyone dhould enjoy listen to classic rock ,it offers so much soul,for community that doesn't traditionally listen to classic rock is missing so much,love see young folk from other cultures enjoy whst ive already known, what i reminisce and celebrate with!
Thanx so much for not stopping the song every few bars to comment! Love when the reaction listens to the entire song!
That moment when you realize your grandparent's generation was kinda cool after all.
thank you. i have never heard that version. it made me emotional. OMG that voice. still got it
This song was a huge hit for the English band Procol Harum in the Summer of 1967. I have been told that Procol Harum means "Beyond These Things."
The famous organ line in this song was actually written by Johannes Sebastian Bach who was the most popular composer for the organ at the time. The song itself is telling the story of a girl who was feeling suicidal.
What a unique Voice , hear it ones ... you never will forgett .
No one will ever create Music like this again , so pure . Just enjoy Life .
One of my favorite songs of all time, Thanks Shiloh..... beautiful song.
The 1967 Original is also beautiful .🌹🙏🏻
Wow haven't seen you in 6-8 month(don't remember)....And I'm in shock 😲)😁.... You are,was or became a rock fan?🤔.... Cause 2,5 years ago I watched you first time reacting to Dimash....and then for a few month I enjoyed you reactions to him, Amon Morissete,Marcelino Pinoy, but mostly I liked DIMASH reactions.But now you so much into rock.But that's ok...)I wish you would react more to Dimash or Diana Ankudinova.And there's another great Russian woman Singer Polina Gagarina. So I would leave you 3 links to their great songs(with Dimash it's hard to pick one, but I think you gonna love a very beautiful song about love with subs)but I suggest to hear first- a new artist-Polina Gagarina..... So 1) Polina Gagarina- "Cookoo"( true story about a girl who lived a simple, joyful life of a student in 1941, when Germany attacked USSR, and girl went to army and became a sniper!She killed more nazis than any woman in history(there's a videoclip from the war movie with this OST, about this story, but I would leave a link to live version... without subs-thats why I told you background story, but you can check this OST videoclip too). Live: ua-cam.com/video/T1Co32bmmRw/v-deo.html 2) Diana Ankudinova- "Rechenka"(she is 14 here) a very haunting song(if you will react to her find in internet translation and just read it to understand what's going on on stage- this an old russian folk song.. estimated first appearence in 1400) Link: ua-cam.com/video/35Dwo4QVLqs/v-deo.html 3) Dimash- "Love is like a dream", but don't forget to turn subtitles!! Beautiful song was written in that year Dimash was born. Or 94,or 95.And it was remade specially for DIMASH....he sung it ,and made this song totally different, more meaningful and beautiful,... link: ua-cam.com/video/xLEQzfqO_l0/v-deo.html
You are a gorgeous child … and I enjoyed your discovery of this iconic ‘60s pop song. What a memorable anthem!
Grew up on this in the late60s Gary Brooker and Procol Harum is magical in this live performance but there is more l also love Homburg with its Haunting organ and melodic lines,Luv this group
R.I.P. Gary
Your voice was 1 in a million
There IS a Rock N’ Roll heaven
Go join the band!
I have never heard this rendition of the song. I'm floored. The orchestration is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. Now you should listen to the original version to compare them.
The back story on this song is interesting. Well worth the dig to find it online. And Procol Harem was a friend's cat.
wow! i have never ever heard this live version before. So awesome. The original was fabulous but this is simply wondrous!
Nobody writes music like this any more, total classic, Soundtrack of my life. I highly recommend "Nights in white Satin" with poem, and Dead Can Dance, "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegroove". Mind blowing just like this song.
I love that someone your age could enjoy something like this.
It was a great song in 67 and it aged real gracefully.
Your reactions are my fsvorite
Just a beautiful melody and beautiful voice. One of the greatest songs of all time. Just makes you nostalgic and melancholy for you don’t even know what. Whenever I’m getting a good mellow buzz on, I play this tune, I prefer the original though…
Fantastic track. The musicians played this song absolutely beautifully. Is voice is powerful. Loved your reaction to this song .
I truly loved your reaction, you were definitely feeling this song in your heart. I actually thought that you were about to shed a few tears, I believe you almost did, it’s a beautiful song, it was one of my wedding dance songs. ❤
This is one of the bands that I grew up on in the 60s and 70s and what a time to be alive I wouldn't have missed it for the world but the music died around 1980 and so I started listening to country music and just about the time country started getting more of pop style music along came Chris Stapleton need I say more as always a great reaction
Shiloh .... Your facial expressions said it all. I love how you lovedthis performance.... Thank You
I love your reaction -and how you closed your eyes and really got into it. They would be so honored to see how their music touches you -53 after the original song first came out. Beautiful.
At the age of 15, it was the organ melody that pulled me in. I didn't really understand the lyrics....but I really fell in love with it. As I've gotten older, I imagine in my mind...the story of a person in the military who is about to leave and falls into a drunken lonely stoop over an inevitable goodbye from someone who isn't planning on being around if he ever returns. A bittersweet evening.
Unique and peerless version and indeed the song itself. Remarkable and very emotional. Gary Brooker is a real star and vocalist
Man, i haven't listened to this (well, earlier version anyway) in at least 15 yrs... thanks for bringing it back into my life... i do love your emotive reactions
What are my all time favorite performances.
And may I say, you look like you could be a Disney Princess. 😊
