    Procol Harum put this out in the late sixties. It is a perfect song no one could ever do it justice. Well, Annie Lennox just did.

      Yes Annie Lennox did it; Her voice is good but the digital accompaniment sucks here... so much below Procol Harum's magic...

      It's an aberration, Procol Harum has the magic of the Hammond and Leslie sound.
      Annie, whom I admire, commits sacrilege with this cover.
      I'm sorry that more than one person may be bothered by my assessment.

      I made a remake of this song, hear it on soundcloud, martin sheepwash, just an instrumental with ot synths which are supposed to disappear into a very high frequency like light, like becoming a whiter shade of pale.

    I remember Annie in the Eurhythmics back in the early 80s when I was in high school. They were more pop than I liked back then but I recently stumbled onto Annie's cover of "I put a spell on you" and it was SSSSOOOO good it sent me down a rabbit hole. What a fantastic voice.

    Medusa is definitely one of the greatest albums in pop music history, and I believe only Annie Lennox could pull off an entire cover album like that. She is not only one of the greatest musicians of her generation, but her videos were the among greatest. Most "music videos" get very old very quickly, but hers never tire. And this is because they are intelligent, as she is.

      я бы наверное , написала бы, но не владею хорошим английским, чтобы было не стыдно, за то что написала. Вообще любовь к англоязычным певцам была у нас всегда. Потом каждый человек выбирал для себя то, что ему ближе. Если считать Фредди Мэркурьи, Анни Леннокс, Стинга, Смоуки, да и всех просто перечислить нельзя. Это все люди с туманного Альбиона. Вообще, на мой личный взгляд, вся музыка из туманного Альбиона была и остаётся необыкновенной , не знаю почему, может люди так петь умеют. А в США эта музыка становится всем известной , и какой то папа получает свои дивиденды. Мне , почему то в простом варианте кажется именно так. Но, боже мой, ведь я могу ошибаться. Я просто человек, который любит хорошую музыку. Спасибо за всех, они все самые лучшие.

      The first verse of the song certainly suggests some kind of dance, with skipping the light fandango sounding like a portmanteau of ‘tripping the light fantastic’, a well-known idiom relating to dancing (derived from a poem by John Milton), and the Spanish (and Portuguese) dance, the fandango. By Dr Oliver Tearle (Loughborough University) 2:22 [Interesting Literature]

      It’s hard to imagine ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’ by Procol Harum being a hit today. Daring, baroque and quietly experimental, it’s the very antithesis of the melodically staid contemporary pop song. And yet, in the summer of 1967, it was absolutely everywhere and has since come to encapsulate the patchouli-scented free-for-all that was the Summer of Love. Even John Lennon - a tough critic by anyone’s standard - was a fan. By Sam Kemp 4:44 [Far Out Magazine]

    Ja ouvi todas as versões possíveis dessa música... até a original mais antiga.. porém a batida e profundidade da voz de Annie Lenox faz essa uma das baladas românticas mais lindas de todas os tempos.
    Clipe maravilhoso e letra confusa...
    Musica linda!❤️❤️

    How can you not be touched by the melody of this timeless piece of instrumental genius? It's groundbreaking. I think of all the women who have fought throughout the years to insure they have a voice when I hear this song.
