Formed in the 1960s, 'Prog Rock' British group Procol Harum are
best known for their multi million selling single A Whiter Shade of
Pale which is the most played record by a British artist of the
last 70 years. Features exclusive interviews with band members Gary
Brooker, Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher, Robin Trower, Dave Ball, Mick
Grabham, Geoff Whitehorn, Chris Copping and Dave Bronze. Also
includes interviews with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, film director
Alan Parker, as well as former managers, DJs and many others. Tells
the story of their formation in Essex in the 1960s, their split on
their tenth anniversary in 1977 and their reforming in 1991. Gives
details of one of the costliest court cases in British music
history whereby a judge awarded a 40% share in the copyright of A
Whiter Shade of Pale, to a former organist of the band. Lead singer
Gary Brooker and lyricist Keith Reid always claimed credit for the
hit, which became part of the soundtrack of 1967. But in his
ruling, the judge decided that organist Matthew Fisher was entitled
to both credit and royalties. Brings the story right up to date
with detail of their album releases and tours over the last decade.
