Title: Gary Brooker, Procol Harum
Post by: ToddF on February 24, 2022, 12:11:58 AM

A lot of people think of him as a one hit wonder, but that's wrong.  He has two hits!  But seriously, a string of classic albums and classic album cuts.  The world is much poorer, without this man's music.

This next song wasn't a hit

Nor this one.

This one was hit #2

Yeah, well the two hits would be enough for any group.  And while I like Conquistador...it got a lot of play on radio stations back in the day...but I think Whiter Shade is a beautiful song, it got play but not as much as the latter it seems to me...but hey, maybe I'm biased.  Gary was a heck of a composer.
