Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale"

Welcome to the One Hit Wonders Series on Rock and Roll Flashback!  In 2018 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame introduced a new Singles category.  Two of the six songs inducted that year were "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Rumble".  I'm Jumpin' John, and in this episode I will discuss Procol Harum's influential 1967 hit, "A Whiter Shade of Pale"!  I reviewed the song "Rumble" in Rock and Roll Flashback podcast episode #134.Besides the song "A Whiter Shade of Pale", Procol Harum would have a few more modest hits.  However, nothing would compare to the lasting influence of "A Whiter Shade of Pale".  Who was Procol Harum, and why the fuss about their hit song? We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text!All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.  The Podcast Theme Song, "You Essay", was written by John.  It was initially recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004 with several revisions since then. Multiple promo videos and photos for Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts are available on the following social media sites:https://www.youtube.com/@RockandRollFlashbackhttps://www.facebook.com/rockandrollflashbackpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/jumpinjohnmcdermott/Bill and John welcome your feedback and comments, and they can be emailed to [email protected] you for listening to Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts!Until next time...Rock On!
