    Notice how humble Gary Brooker is- “Thank you for having us” Not full of himself though he could be, compared to the trash today passed off as music.

    Gary Booker has recently passed away Feb 2022. . Here was only 22 born 1945, when he had done the original. It was released in 1967.. He is a creative genius. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. One of the best singing voices.

    When you said you didn't pay attention to the lyrics and still feeling the whole vibe is why you can be moved by a song without understanding the language. That's the magic of music.

    possibly the greatest rock song ever. It makes a visceral, immediate connection. Very emotional, moving. Saw them in New Zealand back in the 1970's...they didn't play this song for some reason. I was devastated. I'm okay now.

    When this song first came out in 1967 the only place you could hear it was on a pirate radio station called Radio London. I was greatly influenced by the British pirate stations and started my own pirate station in 1977 in Northern California. I ran it for 10 years before I got caught and given a $15,000 fine in mid 1987. That's when I moved my pirate station to the internet. There was no software available then for running a radio station on the internet so I wrote my own and had it up and running September 1987. 34 years later I'm still running that pirate internet radio station.

I love going to your channel not because of any extensive knowledge of the history of music but because of your genuine appreciation for and enjoyment of these classic songs. There is a purity in and a sincerity to your reactions that is lacking in so many other music reactors! Given your appreciation for great music I am going to give you some songs you are sure to enjoy reacting to! "Why" by Annie Lennox from 2000, "The Battle of Evermore" by Heart from 1995, "Old Man" from Neil Young in 1971, "Vincent" by Don McLean from 1972, "The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies, "If" by Bread and "You Make Me So Very Happy" by Blood Sweat and Tears! Please stay genuine, as what you have here is very special!!

    There is a question asked of us by the orchestra and especially asked by the lead singer, "can you trust me to romance you, to not take from you, but to fill your heart?" As the passion of the music increases, we are pressed to answer, "yes"! This can be very fearful moment.

  • @crewelocoman5b161
    @crewelocoman5b161 3 роки тому +2

    This has to be the ultimate rendition of this song. I recall hearing it on its first release in 1967 and it was constantly on the airwaves, haunting, beautiful, Gary Brooker sounding exactly the same in1967 as he did in 2006. It was one of those occasions where pop music collided with classical music, in this case a Baroque Bach sounding chorale to great effect. The seemingly random words without any obvious meaning when set to music which brought the lyrics to life telling a story influenced John Lennon. He acknowledged this himself. 1967 saw Lennon's 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' from the Sgt. Pepper sessions. I seem to recall that 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' was voted Best British Pop Song of all time circa 1976. Beautiful video, beautifully presented and produced. Thank you so much.
