It's fun to think that my girlfriend and I danced and kissed to this song in 1968 and here today guys your age are loving it. Thank-You both so very much. God's Peace to you.
About 54 years ago now in March 2022! Great production and sensational ending!
It happened to many of us accross the globe in those magik years 😉💖
Gary said in an interview that he thought this hit would last maybe 10 years, and disappear. But he kept having young kids asking for this song. A true testament to his ability. Gary's voice was good in 1968, but like fine wine, it got better with age. I have heard many performances of this masterpiece, and this is by far the best.
Procol Harum was the name of their manager's Burmese cat. Always thought that was cool. Gary Brooker is the vocalist and he actually sounded better 40 years later. Gorgeous arrangement with the Danish national orchestra and choir. Totally epic. Thanks for doing this Recklezz crew.
The story I heard was that their manager at the time, Guy Stevens, had a girl friend whose blue Burmese cat was named Procul Harun. Because he mentioned the name during a phone call, it was misheard and also misspelled to become Procol Harum.
This was my mother and father's personal 'song'. They were born in the mid-forties, saw these guys live, and it became their wedding song. To see him up there now with that impeccable voice and seeing him live with the thrill of that wonderful orchestra behind him is just soul-lifting. Bless the both of you for your appreciation of one of the classics.
When I was dating a girl who much later married me, A Whiter Shade Of Pale was our song in 1968.
Great music never ages. Still sounds as fresh as the day it was
written.
So true!!! I wish more people realized this..
The tune is over four-hundred years old
One of my all time favorite songs. Great in 1967.....MASTERPIECE 40 years later!!!!! The arranger of this deserves massive KUDOS. There is nothing better than a full orchestra and a chorus to bring out emotions!! I get chills every time I see this. Wish I could have been there. I'm sure those in attendance are still talking about it. Music is so much better when performed with real instruments played by real people. Not the computerized generic sounds we hear all to often anymore. I could easily tell how much you both enjoyed this esp. near the end with the great crescendo of the orchestra and chorus. Gary Brooker did sound even better and he sounded just as good even 10 years after this.
That would be 53 years later. I know. I was there.
@@robsambosky6444 I got to see him with Ringo Starr and His All Star Band in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. around 20 years ago and of course he played the organ and it was the highlight of the show!
Gary Brooker (Singer)/piano player died last week from cancer. A true magnificent talent who got better with age. Natural talent, and natural music you don't hear much any more. Sadly RIP Gary you won't be forgotten
I’m 54 and I remember hearing this growing up!❤️ It’s timeless!
This song came out in 1967, Gary Booker was 22 when he performed the song. Pocol Harem great band. He passed away this Feb. 2022.
Its so amazing how a Orchestra can convey so much power n emotion i love when rock bands use them it brings shit to the next level classic track too.
i love the little smiles when he hits those notes. its like an acknowledgement of his talent. so good, so so many songs, artists you have yet to hear, gonna be a fun journey. i wonder what your both top songs are you have heard now, ones that have shocked you, or made you feel a certain way. would be fun to know.
...and the big smile at 8:40...fills this 60+year old guy's heart with joy watching the younger folks enjoy what we were so lucky to see as it happened way back in the day.
Gary Brooker was 75 at the time of this recording. yup, he's still got it.
He was actually 61,born in 1945 but if you appreciate him that's fine by me ,I've been listening to him for 54 years myself which seems incredible
May he Rest In Peace🕊
This was my fathers favorite song. I remember him playing the keyboards along to it was I was a young kid. Haven't heard this song in years. Gary Brooker voice is amazing. I think he's in his mid 70s and still sounds great. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
76 when he passed in February
One of the rare times a live performance rivals the classic studio release. Alot of layers of emotion in this performance of a unique song that shouldnt have been a hit back then but was so so good that it was.
It is cool when a singer still has it and in some ways is even better of a singer at such an advanced age. Its rarer than we think. More so happens with male voices as our voices mature later than women. So they stay a bit longer if taken care of.
I tell you who would freak yall out whose voice has simply not aged and thats Paul Rodgers of Bad Company. Look up some of his later live performances with Bad Company.
Bad Company would be a great group to react to.
It really is amazing what instruments can do. It's because parents everywhere have endured a few years of squeaking and squawking as their children practiced string and wind instruments. But when it finally is right there is amazing music.
It's nice to see young people apply the music I grew up with.
That song is about 50 years old. Came out in 1967. Actually over 50. Love watching you guys. Bless you.
I saw Gary Brooker and Procol Harum at Eastern Illinois University in April 1973. It was a great concert and I do believe Gary's voice improved with age. What a pleasure to see your unbridled enthusiastic reactions to the music I grew up with. You guys have also introduced me to more current music that I had never listened to. Peace. ✌
40 years later and his voice sounds exactly the same. Amazing!
John Lennon said he wished he had written this. Procol Harum was the 1st band to use exclusively an orchestra in their music.
That would be The Moody Blues in 1967
Procol Harum was formed in 1967 with Gary Brooker, becoming an official member even though he didn't sing or play any instruments. "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" was one of about 15 songs that he wrote for their first album.
I think you mean the lyricist, Keith Reid who didn't perform but was a member of the band
@@stevebengel1346 yes your right
Yes a mistake there but keep on listening to this great band (my favourite of all time)
This performance, this one performance, has also heightened my appreciation for orchestral music that I rarely have listened to. Amazing how great it sounds, as well as the vocals
55 years ago! You are learning that limiting yourself to one genre of music will rob you of some amazing surprises and experiences. Good music is good music whatever the genre.
Annie Lennex does a beautiful version of this songs as well!!!
What's wonderful about music is it DOES NOT AGE...we can listen to everything from Beethoven to the Beatles to Eminem and love it all no matter how old WE are...you two and an old lady like me just prove that.🥰🥰
Truly a beautiful song
A stunning arrangement too. A toss up for me whether I prefer the studio version or this live one.
It truly, truly is... ❤
@@LordRahl1975 this one now at my age
You can't imagine in wich age they came out with this Song .
What a unique Voice , hear it ones ... you never will forgett
My favorite part of watching reaction videos is seeing young persons such as yourselves discovering so much amazing music that I grew up with. I have no idea what your musical exposure was prior to starting your channel but I know that a lot of the young reactors were mostly brought up on rap and hip-hop. No disrespect to those genres; it's just that there are so many other amazing styles of music over the years and it's fun to watch you guys really enjoy things you might never have known existed if not for your channel. Kudos to you both for having an open mind musically!
Gary Brooker is his name and he really does sound as good as when he was young.
Music spans all generations, it’s all food for the soul, it’s uniting for all people 😎
You guys are becoming two of my favorite reactors. Such a young, refreshing perspective on this music that we have all loved for decades. I love hearing your take on all of it. I'd really like to share some Canadian music. Lay it on The Line by Triumph - is a fantastic hard rocking song. Rik Emmett has an epic voice. I think you'd both love it. Hugs from Canada :)
Love me some Triumph. Saw them in concert, and as good as Rik Emmett can sing, it's his guitar work that gets me. My favorite by them is Hold On from that same album, Just a Game.
I agree….MORE Canadian Content!!!
Imagine that you're one of the 20-somethings in the orchestra who are playing on the same stage with THAT dude! 😳
A Whiter Shade of Pale touched my heart back in the late 1960s but this is outstanding. So Beautiful. I the start when the oboe breaks in during the strings intro.
I remember when it's the original came out years ago still gives me chills to this day
This was featured on The Big Chill soundtrack. Every song in that movie was a banger.
That's a great sound track!
Masterpiece. It’s great to see y’all growing in your repertoire. I am blessed to have grown up with such superb music.
Appreciated your comments on how discovering a wide range of music is so gratifying and it's a great journey. The orchestra here is the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and you would be amazed by their playing "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" theme from the movie of the same name.
I am 67 but I bought this album when it first came out and this rendition is absolutely beautiful
Man he still rocks that song, brings tears to my eyes, WOW. Love the reaction of you both.
This performance is better than the original that was sung 40 years ago. Gary Booker's voice hasn't changed a bit.
Procol Harum is a British rock band formed in 1967. In the same year they had the world hit A Whiter Shade of Pale. Singer Gary Brooker died of cancer on February19,2022 at the age of 76.
Gary Brooker MBE was an English singer-songwriter, pianist, and the founder and lead singer of the rock band Procol Harum. Born: 29 May 1945, London - Died: 19 February 2022, Surrey.
This was huge back in my days. Huge! You guys should check out Ten Years After....At Woodstock....”I’m Going Home.” Alvin Lee is a beast !!
An epic song, epic performance.
It's now 2022. This song was released in 1967 - 55 years ago. He STILL sounds the same.
Masterpiece!!! Goosebumps everytime!!! Beautiful!!
Yes, a splendid performance, and a sincere, open reaction from the both of you. That's the way we like it.
So great to see younger people enjoying the kind of music I grew up with. So many great songs from the 60's. An amazing era.
This song always teleports me back to my childhood... I can't help but smile when I listen to it.
Saw them in 1971 (I was 15) open up for (Joe Walsh) and James Gang Phoenix Coliseum.. Great concert !
Dude, you smile in all the right places, so I've gotta subscribe
R.I.P. Gary Booker and thank you for Harum. (He died February ,2022).
Masterpiece of 60s rock.
Welcome to the world of REAL music.
Two lovely young kids just loving the music. Who could ask for more?
Great reaction, every soul on the planet should hear this song at least once!!! One of my favorite songs ever! 🔥🤘💜
Don't forget Don't Know Much, with Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville.
Gary Brooker who you see singing here just died on 19th of February 2022. Such a wonderful band
I've seen a ton of reaction videos from different people, and I always get draw in by those who have sincerity and honesty. The music of the past is amazing, and it's great to see it rediscovered by reaction videos, but obviously that can become a trend in itself with CZcamsrs just following a formula. I enjoy watching you two. I hope you blow right past your 100K goal. You deserve it.
Thanks for the good song from Procol Harum! The Piano plays Gary Brooker and the Original-song "A whiter shade of pale" is from 1967.
The song is from The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. It is based on a story telling contest with the prize being a free meal for the best story. Of course they were spinning tales and each one tried to best the previous story and the embellishments were hilarious...! RIP Gary Brooker who passed away a month ago
Loved this song since it first came out.
Such a distinctive tone.
I am a seventy two year old Welshman and have discovered your channel, and I really admire your for exploring and experiencing music outside your comfort zone.This version of Whiter Shade of Pale is in my opinion far more sophisticated than the original which was a huge hit when I was a teenager, and you picked up on that.
Keep listening and broaden your horizons, not just through music, but also through literature art and travel and this will ensure that you will have a fulfilled life.
You guys are posting some real classic amazingness today, between this, Led Zep and Chris Cornell, that's a ton of talent goin out this morning.
One of , if not THE greatest performances of a song EVER !
Sensational performance, great choice and reaction 🍻
I have watched this many times and it always touches me. Keep up the good work ❤️
Once you step out of your comfort zone and explore other types of music it opens up an appreciation and hunger for more variety. I really like your videos. Thanks for doing these.
The choir makes this a heavenly experience
When someone opens their mind, it makes for a richer, fuller life.
Beyond epic. This is the greatest live performance probably ever in history. Mesmerizing.
AMAZING!
Step 1 - Orchestra prelude
Step 2 - Gary Brooker and orchestra
Step 3 - Gary Brooker + orchestra + band (Procol Harum) + choir
“A WHITER SHADE OF PALE” was released by Procol Harum in 1967 and it was
their first single
❤ RIP Gary Brooker 1945 - 2022
*PROCOL HARUM is a latin expression that means "beyond these things”,
but the legend tells that was a Burmese Blue cat, that belonged to a
friend of the band and that he lived until 1972. The cat’s name was
actually Procul Harun, but the cat’s name was misspelled.
The name of the manager'cat Procol Harum is a misspelling of the phrase in latin Procul Harun meaning "far beyond these things' 😉💖
Man, spot on when you say music breaks down barriers and makes you appreciate other people & cultures more. This was one of the top selling rock songs of all time, btw. Remember, grandpa here was a drug-taking rock star once.
LOVE the reaction to a Classic from the 60's..!
Just hate to be the one to point out that 1967-2022 is 55 yrs....!
Love the reaction. Y'all definitely appreciate great music and talent.
Check out the live video from 1970 of the band Free performing "Mr Big" and then the video of the band Bad Company live from Wembley performing" Burning Sky". The singer is Paul Rodgers and the performances are 40 years apart.
This beautiful song is about a tragic love story. The lyrics are about a man and woman on a ship, in some kind of stage act, they were dancing.... "We skipped the light fandango🕺💃....turned cartwheels across the floor...I was feelin' kinda of sea sick🤢, but the crowd called out for more"... We ordered another drink "but the waiter brought a tray"....."One of 16 Vestal Virgins" (Vestal Virgins or Vestals were priestesses of Vesta, ie: a virgin goddess👸or a beautiful young woman). "I wandered through my playing cards, and would not let her be". He was in love 💗and persistent and most likely was intimate with one of the 16 beautiful young women on the ship. The young women were most likely in a group traveling together) to the coast.... "16 Vestal Virgins that were leaving for the coast"....." And although my eyes were open they might just as well been closed".....meaning it was plain to see that they could never be together but he was blinded by love, passion, and desire...Later on in life, she finds out that he had died (most likely of a broken heart) and never loved another...."And so it was that later as the miller told his tale, that her face, at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale".....She finds out her lover had died of a broken heart💔. So now you know why the music is so sad, and melodic, and melancholy, and just beautiful!!!!!.
It's hard to understand music today without knowing how it evolved..glad you enjoyed the experience!
It evolved backward !!
I love it when I see you youngins expand your horizons. It tickles my gizzard.
Saw Procol Harum in London 1967, Gary Brookers voice is ageless.
Thank you guys for choosing this today, it's got me in my feels.......needed
Simply magic.
One of the things I love about watching the younger generation appreciate music they themselves never would have thought they would listen to is that I myself, as I've gotten older, have expanded my own listening horizons.
I grew up listening to rock/alternative only and there was definitely a time I would have ridiculed genres like musicals, rap/hiphop, and EDM. Those are now three of my favorite genres.
Stay open minded and the world of music opens up for you
I see more and more younger folk, exploring, enjoying the music I grew up with. I would like to ask you , why? I am just curious. I grew up in what I believe to be the greatest time in music. Great music came out daily.
Bc all music is amazing 🙏
Fantastic performance full of emotion and intensity. Great reaction video. Maximum respect to both of you.
One of the most beautiful songs ever!
Thanks for discovering this classic pop anthem. I was in the military when it received air play in 1967. What an emotional piece, even after all these years!
Check out Grayson Hugh "Talk it over" "Bring it all back" "Blind to reason" "Finally found a friend"
When this “type” of rock and roll music first came on the scene, the “older generation “ said it was trash and would never last. And now to hear orchestras play the music makes me want to laugh. What a legacy was left!
I remember driving down the highways listening to the radio when this first came out. He was and the band members you saw come in later, were all young men. We all were. And I've followed them since I was very little!!! Like a fine wine that just keeps improving!
i was 8 years old when my older sisters were playing this on an old mono record player. brings a smile remembering that and also seeing how much you both enjoyed this music😊👍
My Mum’s favourite song. Beautiful arrangement on this performance. An Australian band from 70’s/80’s worth a listen is The Angels… suggest ‘Take a Long Line’ or ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’ or ‘We Gotta Get Out of this Place’. Enjoying your channel guys… 💙 from Australia 🇦🇺
RIP Gary Brooker The World is a little dimmer without him.
Eargasm 55 years ago, Pure Eargasm today.
Oh, and the reason old artists sound better decades later is because they have decades more of love, pain, successes and failures under their belts. As a 47 year old musician myself who has played for over 30 years, I can say that from experience.
39 years after he did it the 1st time. Amazing. If you like the Danish National Orchestra try them with The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Epic.
RIP Gary Brooker. Perfect vocals both then 1967 and 40 years later. The orchestra adds tremendously to the whole of the song.
I never think I’m gonna like your reaction… but then I love your freaking reaction! 🤣
The musician plays the "legendary Hammond Organ", which was and is very popular (although nowadays it is mostly played with the keyboard and sampled pieces). It is characterized by an outstanding sound and richness, and the "special" were speakers in the cabinet, which rotated in a controlled manner, creating this particular tremolo effect.
