Biography

After the rhythm & blues band [a1382422] disbanded in 1966, singer [a=Gary Brooker] helped form Procol Harum early in 1967. In July that year, the band got their first #1 hit [i]A Whiter Shade of Pale[/i], co-written by Brooker & Reid, becoming one of the first real "symphonic rock" songs. A lot of albums and singles were released afterwards, but never enjoyed the success of their first single. Band friend and record company owner [a=Guy Stevens] came up with the group's name Procol Harum, a mis-spelling of the Latin phrase Procul Harun (roughly meaning “far beyond these things”), which was also the pedigree name of his Siamese cat (who actually was marked [i]Procul hīs[/i]). (Another explanation is that it was a corruption of Procellarum, a vast ocean on the Moon.) The line up for their first single was: Gary Brooker: vocals and piano Keith Reid: words Matthew Fisher: Hammond organ David Knights: bass Ray Royer: guitar Drums by session drummer Bill Eyden. Procol Harum re-formed in October 1991 and recorded "The Prodigal Stranger" with this line-up: Brooker - vocals and piano Reid - words Fisher - hammond organ with guests: Dave Bronze - bass Mark Brzezicki - drums Jerry Stevenson - mandolin and guitar
