    I'm with you, Kent, this is an amazing performance. The original was released in 1967. This rendition was 39 years later and it sounded as good or BETTER than the original!!

    I have known this song for my entire adult life. No one does it the way Procol Harum does. If I closed my eyes, I could imagine I was back in the late 1960's. I had a feeling this one would strike a chord with you, and it did. It had been languishing on the middle pages of your list for quite some time. So I gave it a boost. Glad you enjoyed it so much!!

    Love your reaction to this beautiful classic song. Gary Brookers voice🎤 is just phenomenal! The most beautiful Melodies I've ever heard! What a voice even at this stage in his life! Just blows me away!! I can see it had the same effect on you when I had seen it! Well done! They don't make singers like this anymore!! 👍

    Many years ago, my church organist occasionally played a soft smooth low-key instrumental version of this song while the offering was being collected. No eyebrows were raised because church elders never realized the music was actually a rock & roll tune that would eventually (2018) be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame!

    • @mike6174

      Based (loosely) on An Air on the G string by Bach - a little before rock and roll I think you might agree.

    I always liked that song one of the most hauntingly beautiful song written. Sounds good live. If you can ever get ahold of the one with the 3rd verse it would be good. From what I understand it was mostly done in live performances. Take care. Keep it up.

    this song came out in 1967 and it was number one in Britain when Sgt. Pepper's by the Beatles came out and so it is forever associated with the summer of love. I remember hearing that John Lennon was riding with a friend in the back of his psychedelic car, high on acid?, when he pointed out to his friend hey you gotta hear this.

  • @16ploog79

    Thank you MiciKent. Procol Harum was one of the best bands end of the sixties and in the seventies with a lot of awful songs. There were very good musicians in the band as the great guitarist Robin Trower and the incomparable and unforgettable drummer B.J. Wilson whom Jimmy Page wanted for LedZep.

    Well the lady in the song is obviously a sailor. In the 3rd verse I think it is...he sings that she was home on shore leave...only sailors get shore leave. Remember what sailors say...A Man in every port ! :)

    I was 18 when Gary Brooker wrote and recorded this in 1967...He sounds just as good if not better 40 years later...what an iconic voice and song. I just watched another video of him live singing this in 2019....sounds just the same....

    I really don't understand the purpose of reaction videos. Do you get paid for these as fair use under commentary and criticism? If so, go react to my cover version of this song that I posted 2 days ago.
