This song is the debut single by the British rock band Procol Harum, released 12 May 1967. United Kingdom performing rights group Phonographic Performance Limited in 2004 recognized it as the most-played record by British broadcasting of the past 70 years.[8] Also in 2004, Rolling Stone placed "A Whiter Shade of Pale" 57th on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Enough said about this song, it is exceptional in all respects. From Wikipedia
The group Procol Harum like all things fractal had a guy on guitar named Robin Trower who went on to Bridge of Sighs stardom.
This brings up the most fascinating aspects of the music industry, and probably all "developing" industries. I know it is the same with coaches in the sporting world, and I know it is true in the evangelical christian world, a nucleus of talent gets started with a band, lets select the Yardbirds from London in the early 1960s. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck all came through the band along with many of the other talented people associated with Cream, Led Zeppelin and Beck's band. It was the London pipeline and it branched out to the gratitude of the rock and roll world.
In the evangelical world there was Corrie Ten Boom who was a lady that survived the Holocaust and became an inspirations to many angelical preachers that followed. In the sports world there are old legendary coaches, Bryant etc. who developed players and coaches that now dominate the football world. Baseball, basketball, all the same.
Where am I going, I am not sure. I just wanted to say those things because they were on my mind.
