A Whiter Shade of Pale
A Whiter Shade Of Pale is a song released in 1967 by the band Procol Harum. With its haunting tonality and Bach flavouring, both provided by Hammond organist Matthew Fisher (who, on December 20, 2006, at the age of 60, won 40% of the copyright value in a court case initiated by him), vocals by Gary Brooker, and mysterious lyrics by Keith Reid, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" reached #1 on the British charts, was a hit in Europe, and reached #5 in the United States.
