- "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Gary Brooker at Douglas Adams - the Party, in 2012, on what would have been Douglas' 60th birthday. Join us to celebrate Douglas' life and his passion for conservation in May 2022, for the Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture: bit.ly/3w9qIgf
Douglas was a founder patron of our charity. He once joined us for a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro in a rhino costume and even writes about it in The Salmon of Doubt. This year would have been Douglas’ 70th birthday, and we’re celebrating the best way we know; a live event with talks from speakers that we’re sure Douglas would have loved. This year’s lecture will be given by Professor E.J. Milner-Gulland from the University of Oxford, and the event will be hosted by Producer, Comedian and serial Douglas fan, Rachel Wheeley.
Join us at 19:00 (GMT+1) on Thursday 26 May 2022 at the Royal Geographic Society in London, or online in your own homes, to hear incredible speakers and honour Douglas.

His voice and this song are the backdrop for a whole generation. I was born April 6. 1945 only a little before Gary. This April, I will be 78. I thank Gary for this. Forever, he and his song will represent our time. God Bless him . Procol Harum is part of the foundation of our generation. Gary my friend, YOU were great ! RIP
Absolutely I'm 73 it's my forever favourite song God Bless you Garry xxxx
This is my number one song…of my TopTen…, I’m 75 years old…thanks Gary Brooker…RIP
I'm 65 (a boy) and this song has been one of my favourite songs since and forever. Cannot believe he's dead but his music is living in me.
I’m 68 and this is still one of my favorites. His voice aged well like fine wine! Such a beautiful song!
😅
RIP Gary. My son, 45 now, is named to you. Thanks for this fabulous, unforgettable song.
I'm 78 and Gary still lives for me. A soul-enlivening, meditative song. Thankful for Keith's inspiration and Gary's musical genius and voice! Two loving humans, now moved on to a better place.
What an incredibly great performance of this evergreen classic.
I’m my own opinion, this has to be one of the greatest songs ever written.
R.I.P
G. Brooker
I agree Bruce. One of the most heart felt songs I have ever heard. RIP Gary Brooker
Literally brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
Thank you Gary
I was born in 1984…but I’ve been listening this song since I was a child …my father influence .
I am addicted to this song .
Love you …rest in peace
Thanks ❤
He goes back to the 60’s with his voice. What a great singer! The best of the best!! RIP
RIP Mr. Gary Brooker. Thank you Sir. I love A Whiter Shade Of Pale Forever!!! ✨🌟💫💥🔥
What a beautiful song/performance. I loved this song when it first came out, i always have. The world has lost another fine musician, Mr. Gary Brooker.
Fabulous. I was there on the night. A superb performance by Gary and when Dave Gilmour did that beautifully restrained solo there were a lot of tears of both sadness and joy in the house. One of the most memorable events I have ever been to.
Amen
Majestic
Where was that at?

This song has alway's been one of my all time favourites and my God but Gary sings it even better than he ever did here 😮😮😮...I well remember being at a party in the 60's and having a slow dance with a friend of mine Dave while this was playing ❤️....may dear Gary R.I.P and continue his singing forever 🙏

Whiter shade of pale is definitely a favorite of mine. It's one of those songs that I grew up listening to since my childhood. Thank you, Mr Gary Brooker. Your voice is synonymous with this song always. RIP legend.

Great voice and song. I did not know that was Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. He too played that added solo fantastic. To see this was special and glad I was able to come across this. Gary Brooker and this song are eternally memorialized.
Il mio musicista....mi ha fatto piangere al Centrale di Tennis di Roma durante un suo concerto
Grande onore ❤🎼❤🎼
That's how you do it, folks.
GARY Brooker! Most beautiful soul! ❤
Such an amazing voice , song and entertainer. True legend.
David Gilmour on the guitar added that sweet touch..
BRAVO
I shared a Birthday with Mr. Adams... I feel honored
It dont get no better than that , folks. The world misses you, Gary.
He was such a great talent. So sorry to read he passed away last year 🌹♥️😥
One of the better songs from a great era of music. We're all getting so old now.
Ich bin mit Procol Harum groß geworden und ich liebte die Musik und war begeistert und höre jetzt die Musik immer noch und schaue die videos, die ich früher nicht sehen konnte und ich bin gerührt und begeistert.
RIP Gary!
ich auch in 1950 geboren....
Gary AND David both performing this masterpiece of a song on stage???....G-d take me now. My life is complete.
Amo este tema , es lo más maravilloso que he escuchado en mi vida , Gracias Gary brooker👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
bread-there-in💕RIP Gary
Great vocals. Always one of my favorite songs. Beautiful melody. Great musicians.
I am born 1955...a youngster...but loved this song so much, deep feeling of sadness and overwelming joy... youth in that time was so superb with the great Songs at that time. ... Gts from Germany
É um hino, não me canso de ouvir ...
L'un des plus grands slows de tous les temps , un tube intemporel qui me donne la chair de poule à chaque fois que je me laisse bercer par cette incroyable mélodie.
My bachelor years were wonderful with summers spent on beaches near Plymouth listening to great music on our transistor radios. I loved all eltons music but whiter shade of pale is tge greatest song for me and hearing Gsry sing it in his twilight years is even better . RIP Gary.
Gary Brooker the magnific voice 🙌🏼
Vous avez fait le morceau qui restera dans mon cœur toute ma vie et pour l'éternité de millions de personnes sur la terre pour avoir dansé, aimé et connu l'amour qui restera un morceau de musique indélébile pour des siècles des siècles : Merci Mr Gary Brooker rip 🌟💖
R.I.P. Gary.
It's the story of Mondo Libero, a story of love. When I learned of the death of the father who was already in the ground, upon arriving to work at the concert bar, the computer selected this Procol Harum title at the very moment of my arrival in the premises, whereas never before, the computer had not selected it during all evenings. There are signs, they come from the heart.
I had felt the exact hour, minute, second of his departure too.
I already sang this song as a child.
The tears that we cannot hold back, whether they are of joy or sadness, are the strength of love.
RICO.
I like this song when I still young..so sweet
Vielen Dank Gary für diesen traumhaften Song!!!!!
People Grows old and die but their music lives forever
…., wir werden Dich und Deine wunderbaren Songs niemals vergessen und immer in unserem Herzen behalten❣️
Gary laid it all on the line in this performance. Wow!
First of all, I can’t believe that there aren’t more comments on this beautiful song and the talented Gary Booker! I’m almost 70 yrs old now and grew up listening to Procal Harem and THIS song in particular. It was played, and slow danced to, at every single formal/prom when I was in college, and is even more meaningful to me now that I’m older than it was back then! It’s too bad that so many younger people don’t know about, or appreciate this kind of music, and call what they do ‘great’ when it really doesn’t even come close to this! It’s a shame that we lost Gary, along with some others, but we do have some of the great, ‘older’ ones who are - fortunately - still with us today (AND the technology we have to be able to still hear/watch them on YT, etc.)! Granted, of those who are, some of their voices have changed with age and time, but imo it doesn’t matter. I give them all credit for still performing in spite of it, and actually think some have even improved (i.e. Elton John, Joe Bonamassa after getting a vocal coach that is, Clapton, etc.)! I saw Gary Booker perform this song in a video from a concert in Denmark (1996, or thereabouts) and wrote a comment on how much I loved it, and why. I got a reply from someone who actually said I shouldn’t watch OR listen to the song bc the lyrics were about ‘drugs’, and people shouldn’t indulge in this type of music! I honestly think the words are such that their ambiguity can mean something different to each person who hears them, allowing them to form their own interpretation and relate to them as they feel. But finally, imo, this is really lovely, and was for a good cause as well!
Grande Brooker. RIP.
Merci ❤
Thankyou Gary....
I love this song i remember when i was 16 yrs old
