This song is a precious gift to mankind.
Perfection RIP Gary Booker
RIP, Gary 🙏🏼
For those of us who were around back in the day.... He definitely improved with time.
This is a performance for the Ages !!
One of the Greats of my generation and one of my favorite songs of all time. R.I.P. Gary Brooker
I'd never made the Ray Charles connection - I see it now. Yes!
I believe that was your best facial reaction ever! Every bit of your face contorted in ways I never seen out of you. One of the best songs ever!
He originally sang this in 1967 if I'm not mistaken and he has only gotten better over the years! Gary Brooker had the voice of an angel and he will be sadly missed!
Just love when youngins finally hear our music
Truly one of the greatest songs of the modern music era. Otherwordly, spiritual. But let the Miller tell his tale....
First your eyes opened wide, followed quickly by your mouth. Normal reaction to this masterpiece. This was the type of music we were listening to in 1967. Gary Brooker was 22 in 67 when Procol Harum released this, and it has been an iconic hit ever since. At 61 in 2006, this performance is the finest you will ever hear. Gary's voice is so much better that as a twenty something back then. Then you add the orchestra and the choir to the mix, and it all came together perfectly. Loved your reaction.
Rest in peace Gary Brooker 🙏 2-19-22. You will be so missed.
Love Poco Harem, Whiter Shade of Pale. May you 🙏 be at God's side with his band of Angels 😇 ✨
You have been Gary Brooker'ed!! Amazing. We miss him....
I bought this song back in 1967, when I was 14, and Gary Brooker’s voice has aged like fine wine! One of my all time favorite songs.
Mine too! 🥰
I'm with you man. Although I didn't hear it for the first time until 1970. Great prog rock band of the times.
Thank you for the Ray Charles compliment!
I thought I was the only one on the planet who thought that.
God Bless Gary! Gary Brooker (29 May 1945 - 19 February 2022) was an English singer-songwriter, pianist, and the founder and lead singer of the rock band Procol Harum.
When that iconic organ kicked in, it just rolled back the years....majestic!
The guy's name is Gary Brooker and just a bit of trivia for you the band Procol Harum the name means Beyond these things the song put in a peaceful frame of mind
Absolute masterpiece of a song and such a heart felt performance. Gary's voice just keeps getting better with age
Gary Brooker is an awesome singer. This song came out in 1967. Listen to the official video. He’s awesome
I've watched this whole concert, total treat. Watch them end with Conquistador and you'll see what just how good a rock n roll band they are
Nice reaction Stan - good you saved your comments until the end and didn't interrupt this amazing performance.
That song and his vocals deserves that intro and outro. WOW!!!!
Gary Brooker of the band Procol Harum wrote and first performed this song in 1967 with his six piece band. You can find this version on youtube. His voice is so much better now than it was back then.
I had been reading online that the meaning of this song had to do with a sexual encounter gone awry but I disagree totally. Although some of the lines don't make sense to me, it is obvious that the guy is performing before an audience and he's higher than a kite. He's feeling sick and wants to quit but the crowd called out for more. "The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away" is the effects of whatever drug he has taken. "When we called out for another drink, the waiter brought a tray." He's performing in a nightclub and drinks are served on a tray. I agree a lot of the song is mish-mash but Gary explained that. He said that he was high when he was writing it and some of the lines just fit the space he was trying to fill so he put it in. He's still a genius in my book. The music omg!!!
FELLAS....Watch your ladies around this man , he will take her 🤣
This is Gary Brooker of Procol Harum; he is British. Pull up the original video from 1967, and you can see them in their younger days. You did a really good job.👍👍
Those of us that grew up in the 60’s fell in love with this timeless song and that love has never waned. I’ve had a recording of the original on vinyl, cassette, CD and now MP3.
This is at the top of my list the most beautiful songs to come from the sixties. This sing hit the airwaves in 1967.
Way back in late 1967, was 17 years old, minding my own business driving my 65' candy apple red Mustang when this came on the radio. I immediately made a U turn and drove to the nearest record store and purchased this album and 4 track tape,( yes 4 track). My favorite song of all time to this day.
Thomas, 14 years old back then. Bought this song on a '45.'
That is Gary Brooker who was the lead singer of Procul Harum when this song came out in 1967.
We were so spoiled in the late 60s. Songs like this were coming out monthly. Well, maybe not THIS good, but the music was insane. Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Credence, Buffalo Springfield, The Hollys, Dylan, it seemed like it would never end… this will never happen again.
Yes we were!!!!!
Moody Blues
I think it will, once rap and hip hop dies out, and the artistic creativity goes more to the musicians and less to the money-hungry producers..
@@ulfingvar1 True!
You are SO right! And I am so grateful.and blessed to have been raised on such wonderful music. This is a masterpiece!
Yep! I was there, back in the day. This song has not aged; never will. Thank you very much mate.
Thank you for watching
ME tOO, I was there then, I was 20 years old in 1967 and loved this song the first time I heard it back then and ever since, a masterpiece
Saw Procol Harum in London 1967, Gary Brookers voice is ageless.
This is one of my favorite songs !!!
I absolutely loved this back in the 60's......it was one of the first records I ever bought.......but this was on a whole other level!!
Loved your reaction 🙏. May he R. I P. 🙏🙏😭🙏
Yeah, we were so lucky to experience the songs 60’s -70’s were the best.
Thank you for watching
One of the best songs of all time! Loved your reaction too! Your enthusiasm for beautiful music is contagious! 😍
U would enjoy Gary Brooker singing "Saw The Fire" ... fantastic!
An on point reaction to a remarkable, moving performance.
Even many of us who were already familiar with the song and artist were still taken back by how first rate this performance was.
Such a beautiful song
I done told you Stan!!! Thank you
This was awesome and thank you for watching
Backing Gary Brooker here is the Danish National Symphony Orchestra - suggest you react to their great cover of "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly". You'll be stunned.
This version will lift your soul into space and blow it to pieces at the same time. What a masterpiece. What power.
Thank you for watching
You are absolutely right. Gary Brooker was influenced not only by Johann Sebastian Bach but also by Ray Charles. You also need to listen to "A Salty Dog" - same event 2006 in Denmark. So so beautiful.
Now this is MUSIC! Great music doesn't stop at your ears it reaches down and grabs your soul. I was 12 when this 1st dropped. Great music never goes out of style. Gary is a fine wine that only gets better with age! I miss this music 😥
This song feels like a spiritual awakening!!! Beautiful :)
Love your reaction! Haunting performance.
Thank you for watching
Music is Music. Well said!
Check out the original video from 1967 and you can hear Gary Brooker's voice at 22.....and it HAS aged like fine wine!
Bravo for not jumping into the song for commentary..., you jus' sat back and Reacted. Perfect... , so many Tuber's kill the magic by stopping the song and editorializing ..... wtg.
Thank so much and thank you for watching
I grew up on this.. i miss those days!! No internet, No cell phones, just planning to go see a show on the weekend with your friends! Depending on who you were seeing, there might have been some acid involved 😂
I’ve heard this band just over a year ago. Thought it was one of the best songs ever w orchestral back serves it justice. Gary Brooker voice unlike any. R.I.P.
He so gave me chills!! Straight up Legendary!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This song helped me get thru a tough childhood in the 60s. It was so mellow, sweet, & calming. It soothed many wounds.
Thank you Gary Booker & Procol Harem
Finally someone else who also heard the Ray Charles similarity 👍
YOU SHOULD REACT TO THE PROCOL HARUM SONG CONQUISTADOR FROM THE VERY SAME CONCERT WITH THE SAME ORCHESTRA AND IT IS A AWSOME SONG.
Perhaps THE most iconic song from the 60s
Heart cover of Led Zeppelin "Stairway To Heaven".. at the Kennedy Center Honors
"What you want to do when you sing is make it sound as much like a black person as you can." Gary Brooker, 1983
There are singers who get down inside me, and singers who have beautiful voices. For me, there are three singers that get right down inside me--Gary Booker (from Procol Harum), Johnny Cash, and Stevie Wonder.
Gary brooker has an amazing voice, this song was a hit in 1967 !! For him to still do this in 2006 is amazing ❤️
He’s had plenty of practice.
Wasn't he the best of the best! But the view, the mellow people, the dappling water, only Gary could make sentences like that.
NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN BY THE MOODY BLUES YOU WOULD REALLY LIKE. ALSO HALL AND OATS SONG SARA SMILE. CANNOT GO WRONG WITH EITHER OF THESE SONGS
Yesss Hall & Oates another rabithole !! 👌👌👏
Stunning with the whole orchestra and live and outdoors. !!
This guy's faces though
Love your reaction because you finish the song first and make your comments after thats the way it should be in my opinion and you you don’t have to pause the video to say or show your reaction about the video I can tell by your reaction if your liking the video or not 👏👍please react to The Three Dog Night covering Ottis Redding song Try a Little Tenderness studio version,thank you .
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"
Simply and utterly brilliant. Wonderful concert performance. Gary Brooker and procol harum and the danish symphony orchestra and chorus made this magical !
I didn’t expect that voice to come from that man wow
I know
Loved this song in the 70s and love this version, he sure hasn't lost it. Love your reaction. 😊
Stan please add to your list of songs to react to three songs that are in different genres but all are nice.

Just thought of another great one for you, Simply Red , Holding back the Years.
Ok I will check it out
@@Lifewithstan2020 cool. You won't be disappointed .
I have always loved this song but I prefer it in it's original version.
Your eyes said it all! Such a masterpiece!
This reaction was beautiful! And your face priceless! 😍😍
One of the best reactions to this that I have seen. Gary Brooker is the name of the incredible voice you just had the pleasure of listening too. Here's one for you, Mike and the Mechanics , In the Living Years. Fantastic song.
Thank you and thank you for watching
Kenny Rogers was who you were thinking of.
We just listened to a masterpiece. EVERYTHING about it was sensational
wow that what I thought of when I heard him was Ray Charles.
Song from a bygone time...it was my first summer in NYC...a simpler time and love was in the air... glad you liked the song...brings back bittersweet memories...
Thank you for watching
Carrie Underwood Temporary home and Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey. You won’t regret it.
I still have my original 45 single record when it hit the stores in 1967.. I think Gary Brooker sounds even better than he did back in the day. Another one of my favorite groups that was part of the British invasion in the 60's...I was lucky enough to have been at Woodstock for the 3 days in 1969.. just like out music back then there will never be another Woodstock.and there will never be another Procol Harum
so beautifull !! bonjour de france !! peace and love usa!!
That "dude" is GARY BROOKER and he was/is the lead singer of the '60s group PROCOL HARUM. I was 20 years old in 1967 when this song first came out. For those of us who were young in 1967 this song became EXTREMELY special to us. THE ORGAN is WHAT MAKES this SONG, some female singer did a remake of it WITHOUT the organ, and it was AWFUL. THE ORGAN HAS to BE there NO MATTER WHAT! THis song gave me chills and made me weep the very first time I heard it, and still does every time I hear it, including today. Gary's voice is just as strong as it was in 1967, Here is a video of the group Procol Harum (that's the name of the BAND, NOT the singer ) with the original 1967 recording with Gary Brooker singing it just like he did in the video you just watched ....ruclips.net/video/CJxpKlTID2Q/видео.html
I'd never heard the earlier version you link to. Thanks!
Hey Patti I tend to agree with you on the organ is what makes this song. But the whole song is great. But that organ solo just adds a special touch to it.
There is a 3rd and 4th verse to the song and the band's name was named after a breed of cat. "In April 1967, Brooker began working as a singer-songwriter and formed Procol Harum with non-Paramounts Keith Reid (poet), Hammond organist Matthew Fisher, guitarist Ray Royer and bassist David Knights. Guy Stevens, their original manager, named the band after a Burmese cat, which had been bred by Eleonore Vogt-Chapman and belonged to Liz Coombes. The cat's "cat fancy" name was Procul Harun, Procul being the breeder's prefix."
It means " beyond these things" in Latin.
One of my favorite songs ❤ and I love all kinds of music 🎶
Try "A Salty Dog" from the same concert.
Than u for not stopping the video. All others on youtube do that. U are the only one that dosent so good man!👍
1967 in NYC
Listen to A Salty Dog at that same concert. Another hit from Procal Harum. Gary Brooker sounded the same 40 years ago.
I like this! thank you man👍
His voice is a bit raspier, but jesus at 70 or so he's allowed. But what a voice.
Yes and thank you for watching
Kenny Rogers is one who he reminds me of
Big like my friend greetings
Queen
Live in Montreal
Somebody to love
Please
I know you’ll dig it
Listen to Procol Harum 2006 Denmark full album live from what you just heard and watched... Gary Brooker, recently Passed away RIP
Have you done the Moody Blues? Nights in White Satin? Well worth a listen
Gary Brooker sounds like Gary Brooker.
Thank you for this reaction. Gary Brooker is as good as ever. Please check out more Procol Harum. Other great songs of theirs include: A Salty Dog and Conquistador. The band name means "beyond these things".
That his voice sounds as good or better at 61 than it did at 21 is simply astonishing.
Try watching the Sixties video of this with the original group and get a flavour of those extra times. Nice to see you so touched by this.
