Procol Harum

In May 1967, Procol Harum smashed into the charts all over the world, and into chart history, with a song called A Whiter Shade of Pale. Combining Gary Brooker's soulful voice, Keith Reid's enigmatic lyrics and Matthew Fisher's sweeping organ, it became one of the enduring anthems of the 1960s. Before they split in 1977 Procol Harum went on to make some of the best albums of the era, including classics such as Shine on Brightly and A Salty Dog. This book, drawn from years of research by musician and novelist Claes Johansen, is an insightful look at one of Britain's finest ever rock acts.
