  • This is an original 16mm Scopitone conversion, not a copy. I used an actual old scopitone player, fed the signal to an old VHS, of which I then fed the output to a Canopus ADVC300. This 'summer of love' 1967 hit record was remuxed in 2006. Also fixed audio-sync.
    Sound engineer of this famous mono mix was Keith Grant. Vocals and piano played by Gary Brooker. Matthew Fisher played the Hammond organ, and these original lyrics were written by Keith Reid;
    We skipped the light fandango
    turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
    I was feeling kinda' seasick
    the crowd called out for more
    the room was humming harder
    as the ceiling flew away
    when we called out for another drink
    the waiter brought a tray
    and so it was that later
    as a mirror told its tale
    that her face at first just ghostly
    turned a whiter shade of pale
    She said: "There is no reason
    and the truth is plain to see"
    but I wandered through my playing cards
    would not let her be
    one of sixteen vestal virgins
    who were leaving for the coast
    and although my eyes were open
    they might just as well've been closed
    and so it was that later
    as the miller told his tale
    that her face at first just ghostly
    turned a whiter shade of pale..
    This composition stands tall on its own. Every song out there is inspired by those from other songwriters, you don't need to brag about your miracle discovery. So please stop commenting about it being 'originally written by' Johann Sebastian Bach?
    Also see • Procol Harum - A White... and • ABC: The Procol Harum ...
    Much gratitude goes to Gary, Matthew and the Keiths for having the heart to let me keep this ad-free, non-monetized, scopitone-conversion on TH-cam! Still, without claiming any right to the original song I do have to put a Copyright Disclaimer up here;

Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.

      @@GordonMYorston the Costa brava is a great place to be.. Not quite your age, But this song has a bit of a nostalgic feel..one of really good friends passed away. The phone call was very short, and as it hung up,..realized we were just hanging out and would never see each other again.

    Bought the 45 in seventh grade. Mother walked by my bedroom, stopped and listened until the ending. "That's just lovely," she said. I took care of Mother the last four years of her life, losing her nine months ago. Even after she became bedridden and nonverbal from dementia, she always responded to music and she still smiled when "Whiter Shade of Pale" came up on the CD rotation. "It's lovely, isn't it Mother?"
    This particular track causes a lump to form in my throat, immediately upon hearing Fisher (cowriter, also) play two notes of the intro to this iconic song. Sixties/seventies rock and R&B music touches my soul like nothing else in existence.

She told me that she listened to it because it made her a little less sad inside. My mom passed away 9 years ago. I have recently been listening to her older music but it were all on burned cd's. This song didn't work. I cried half the day when I couldn't get her favorite cd to play. Well about 2 weeks ago now I was watching "the 10th kingdom" this song was on it and the dad in the movie said the name. I looked it up and listened to just this song for 3 hours crying and smiling and rembering my mommy. I am 31 years old and let me tell you, you never stop needing your mom. This song makes her feel close.

    Not as old as some of the folks commenting here, but I was born the year this came out. 1967. So I have grown up with it. That and Moody Blues Nights in White Satin, and so many others from that year. A good year to be born with so much great music.

      in German sounds good Wir haben den lockeren Fandango* ausgelassen,
      Und schlugen auf der Tanzfläche Rad.
      Ich fühlte mich ein wenig seekrank,
      Doch die Menge schrie nach mehr.
      Dann kam der Laden immer mehr in Schwung,
      Solange bis irgendwann das Dach wegflog.
      Und als wir noch einen Drink bestellen wollten,
      brachte der Kellner gleich ein ganzes Tablett.
      Und so geschah es später,
      Während der Müller seine Geschichte erzählte,
      Daß ihr Gesicht, zunächst nur sehr schwach,
      Einen helleren Blaßton annahm
      Sie sagte, "Es gibt keinen Grund dafür [1]
      Und die Wahrheit ist doch offensichtlich"
      Doch ich blätterte durch meine Spielkarten
      Und konnte sie nicht in Ruhe lassen
      Eine von 16 vestalischen Jungfrauen
      Die Richtung Küste aufbrachen
      Und auch wenn meine Augen offen waren
      Hätten sie genau so gut geschlossen sein können
      (Chorus)
      Sie sagte "Ich bin im Landurlaub nach Hause gekommen"
      Obwohl wir in Wirklichkeit noch auf dem Meer waren
      Darum zog ich sie vor den Spiegel
      Und zwang sie, mir zuzustimmen
      Indem ich sagte "Du bist dann wohl die Meerjungfrau
      Die Neptun auf einen Ausflug mitgenommen hat"
      Aber sie lächelte mich so traurig an
      Daß mein Zorn sofort verschwand
      Wenn Musik die Nahrung der Liebe ist
      Dann ist Lachen ihre Königin
      Und, ganz genau so, wenn das Hinterste zuvorderst ist
      Dann ist Schmutz in Wahrheit sauber
      Mein Mund war schon trocken wie Pappe
      Die mir direkt durch den Kopf zu schießen schien
      Also tauchten wir schleunigst direkt ins Wasser ein
      Und griffen den Meeresboden an

    This was my mom’s favorite song. I played it at her service. She died May 12 (on my birthday) 2020. I hadn’t been able to visit her in the hospital because of Covid. She was about to turn 70. An undiagnosed cancer got her. We were talking and laughing, the best conversation in years, just a day before her death, on the phone. There had been people protesting the lack of religiosity of this song prior to her service, but it would have made her happy. She had been sick with Lupus for a long time so I had been practicing her service in my mind for years. I had a long time to think about what she would like. Due to Covid and medaling relatives, she didn’t have the service I would have had for her, but this song got played. That was a sweet emotional victory.

    Hoe erg missen we Peter. Juist nu met het maatschappelijke debat. Hij kon verbaal zo goed ‘opkomen’ voor het juiste. Er was nooit een speld tussen te krijgen.

      Kijk maar even hoe Hiddema dat deed dan. Nooit fan geweest van Peter, wat hem overkomen is, is natuurlijk diep treurig, maar totale verheerlijking is ook niet nodig.
