my wife bought this album for me on my 18th birthday.. she was 14..we were married in 1972 and still married today 40 years years together.will always love this song
It seems that every version of this Procol Harum's song is beautiful. The song has a magic of itself. What was nice still remains nice. Thanks for telling us your story.
I was of my youth in the 1960's. I was drafted, served a Tour of Duty in Vietnam, lost the love of my life (Kathy) to that fucking war and have tried, with only moderate success, to catch up with the life that I lost in Southeast Asia. I still speak the names, out loud, of friends I lost in Nam because I believe they should never be forgotten. My experience, living in the 60's, would not have been the same if Johnny Rivers had not shared it with me. The best of times, the worst of times.....
Wow, sad mate. Hope you're still around. I lost many friends, one way or the other, to that "fucking war" too. It was the politicians war - had nothing to do with "freedom"... I think we all realized after that era, not to believe our government. Our generation woke up after that fiasco. I hate what it did to all of us, especially guys like you who were sent there without a say...
I am 77, I heard this album for the first time in Argentina in 1969 while living in a motel in Mendoza. I was feeling alone, far from friends and my country, and looking at at least two years more living in Argentina. I loved the country but Rivers' voice and music kept calling me home. Love this guy's music..always will. What a trip, man.
+Jerry Scott I never realized JR did a cover of this song, I own the Procol Harum Album....Wow, Argentina back in 1969...bet a lot has changed... btw, Where's "Home"? What part of the USA? --Van
Huge music lover and used to slow dance to the Procol Harum version in high school. Studied violin, piano and ballet (I am a lady) but wish I had studied guitar as it is my favorite instrument. I live in Louisville where the radio station quality varies. I possess and listen to albums, CD's and cassettes. I like to look up videos of music I do not own, but love Johnny Rivers and did not know he covered this song. Thank you for your post!
I love this man's music and especially the Realization album. It is one of my very favourite albums (vinyl). I think it must be close to the best produced of albums. In 1969 I danced at my wedding to "Slow Dancin".
I am 62 and would play it non stop through an unhappy teenage portion of my life. I remember it all to this very day. The bad, then listening to this album to round out the rough edges.
Sixty-eight years old, been listening to "Realization" since '68 and I just cannot understand why its not in everyone's "Top Ten" ! It's #1 in my humble opinion! JR can cover songs and they are honestly better than the original recordings And the Hammond and drums on this cut really add ...something
I've listened to this song thousands of times over the years, but tonight, I really heard the "Passion" in Johnny's vocal, as well as the musicians accompanying him. Would've loved to have been there when they recorded it! Take another really good listen and realize the magic!!
I remember listening to this album in my freshman dorm for hours at a time. I loved Johnny's voice and still do, especially this album which is near perfect. There was a whole generation that he spoke to with such clarity and strength. He deserves to be remembered today as the spirit of an age, long past. we were going to change the world with our dreams and these songs. wish we had done a better job.. but we tried.
REALIZATION! The sad, soulful, mournful, emotional sound of JR has had a mesmerizing effect on me since I first heard this album in 1968. Love, hate, war, death, were emotions that we all felt during that time and Johnny Rivers in this album expressed these emotions. REALIZATION still the best ever!
Eu assisti 2 shows dele em SP.um numa casa de shows. A platéia foi a loucura. O pessoal ficava em pé aplaudindo. O outro foi no parque Ibirapuera e estava também lotado. Para mim foi e é um dos maiores cantores que já vi. Sou um fã incondicional desse cara. Quando ouço suas músicas viajo num passado esplêndido que tive nas décadas de 60 e 70.
Amo de paixão e meu sonho era conhecê-lo antes que eu morra e queria ouvir ele cantando essa musica whiter shade of pale . Eu furava o disco quando ouvia , sou da época do disco de vinil.
eu tambem cara, e olha que sou fa de rap e hip hop, mas na minha adolescencia tinha uma coletanea dele, nao sei como parar no meio dos meus discos, depois na decada seguinte comprei um CD com as 20 melhores dele, permaneco fa desse cara ate os dias de hoje
I listened to Johnny Rivers growing up .. I love his voice.. my parents loved him to... when my dad had a stroke I played Johnny rivers in his hospital room...
Cette reprise par le fameux Johnny Rivers est une véritable merveille .. J'adore ce superbe chanteur à la vocalise si belle et touchante, cela depuis ses débuts et je suis le plus heureux de l'écouter encore et toujours!
This man should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His body of work is incredible. Yeah! I am a homer for this dude! Have been since way back in the day.
J'ai découvert ce morceau de musique en 1968. ma copine de l'époque m'avait offert le disque. Depuis j'ai du l'écouter plus de 1000 fois dans toutes ses versions. A chaque fois j'ai un sentiment de bonheur total, peut être en repensant à ma petite amie ... que je n'ai plus jamais revue depuis les années 70.
Everybody forgets about Johnny Rivers. Not me, I burnt me up some Johnny Rivers albums around 1970. So no, I didn't forget him. I also didn't forget that while others had some success with this song, he did too! He also done it first and there ain't NOTHING wrong with his rendition at all. One of my all time favorites.
The best music of every decade since the 60's. A lot of good artists but none like JR. With the war, the drugs, draft dodgers, rebellion changing the world before our eyes. And in the midst of all that was Johnny Rivers. JR seemed to bring us all back down to ground. And I go back to his music every time I hear the garbage that rules the music world today. Very few can match JR. He takes me back to my High School days - of innocence, of dreams, of love. Thank you Johnny Rivers.
I think this was the first version of this song that I heard. And I was astounded. I love him so much. For some weird reason, he reminds me of Ricky Nelson. Youth! It's great reliving these moments.
This is a very good version , and one of the best keyboard solos to this , imho . Here is a version you may , not just like , but have never heard the full four verse song . This is the first ever licensed studio version by anyone . We are deeply honoured to have been granted Permission by Bucks music Group to release this . .th-cam.com/video/NGJbN7nBb3o/w-d-xo.html
Still listening in 2020!!! Love Johnny Rivers!!!!! Helps to take my mind of the world for awhile!!!!!! God bless our world. COVID-19/ Revolution. Time for the world to change again. It's time.....but the music will still carry us through!!!!
I was in Vietnam when I first heard this album. Realization. Certain lines in the different songs stuck with me The Way We Live) Ask me why I don't smile is their something troubleing me, just open your eyes and tell me what do you see...(Something stange) is happening to me something more than my two eyes can see.Brother where are you) they said you came this way Whats the Difference) so whats the difference if you don't wake up ,you won't know yourself when you finally do.
I remember when Realization was released. I rushed out and bought it and have been a huge, huge fan of this masterpiece ever since. I've since got it on CD along with Rewind. To me, it is one of the best albums to come out of the '60's. Johnny Rivers is the best!
One of John Lennon's favorite songs of the 60's, this song had everything. A beautiful, haunting melody, and lyrics that were seemingly melancholy, yet obtuse and hard to understand. Put it all together and the song became magical and unforgettable. How many people would include this song as one of their favorites....ever?!?! I loved Procol Harum's version, of course, but I think my favorite version would be this one by Johnny Rivers. Both are beautiful and set emotions on fire.
É inacreditável ouvir essa música esse cantor, sem palavra a gente volta no tempo. Eramos felizes e não sabiamos, sou fã do Johnny Rivers, em especial essa música onde me faz lembrar dos bailinhos, de uma época que era puro romantismo.
tenho 29 anos e queria ter vivido nessa epoca foi a melhor que existiu ate hoje pena que as coisas vao mudando..... mas no meu tempo livre dedico a relembrar esses tempos que infelizmente ficou la no passado quem viveu maravilha mas quem nao viveu ficara so na saudade.... :(
I graduated from High school in 1968, I played the Realization 8 track until it self destructed. 50 years later one of my sons gave me the CD, I listen to it often, my alltime favorite. Got to see him in 1992 in Jackpot, Nevada. Amazing show in a nightclub setting at Cactus Pete's Casino.
"A Whiter Shade of Pale" gravada originalmente em 1967 pela banda britânica Procol Harum, se tornou um das canções mais executadas em todo o mundo e com inúmeras versões. Excelente a versão em estúdio com Johnny Rivers, com magistral arranjo musical e marcante presença das cordas, bateria e um solo perfeito de orgão elétrico.
Concordo! Eu não gosto da original, mas, quando ouvi esta interpretação, me encantei. O arranjo é maravilhoso e os instrumentos parecem mesclar-se harmoniosamente com a voz melodiosa dele.
Bought this album in 1970-71. Then our family moved to a southern town after living in a hip northern town. Thank you Johnny for keeping me sane through those longgg days and nights without a rock n roll radio station. All I could get was WLS out of Chicago after midnight for rock. Every radio station was Country & Western back then in that area. It was horrible. Thank God for the few albums I owned. But this one and my James Taylor album were treasures.
If you don't own the Realization album, CD or whatever, you are missing one of the greatest albums I have ever heard. Whiter Shade of Pale, Positively 4th Street, get it. Trust me!
I still have my vinyl of this in mint condition. Was thrilled when the CD came out. Sometimes just put it on repeat and drift off to younger yesterdays!!!
I always listened to a song recorded by the Brazilian singer Daniel, called "next to you again" but I knew that I already knew from somewhere, this without a doubt, is one of my favorite songs of life.
Foram tantos cantores que cantaram essa música todos da melhor qualidade, mais em particular eu tinha o meu preferido Jonhy Rivers. Procon harun fizer para o mundo. A saudade e indescritível.
I love this version the very best! I can listen to it again and again. Johnny Rivers is wonderful. I like the keyboards...piano sound in the beginning to soaring organ throughout!
one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists. remember getting this album in my middle teens. all of my friends, being hard core rockers thought I went soft. But after listening a few times and realizing this was a Poco Harum song they were hoooked.
A primeira vez que houvi essa musica foi em 1971, num ginasio de esportes na cidade de Apucarana norte do Parana. E nao era Johnni nem Procoll, era uma banda local, num ensaio. Como marcou, e muito linda.
indo para eternidade junto com o trem chamado saudades ,ali existe grandes amores grandes recordações ,e eu você nós ou todos estamos neste trem cheio de muito amor ,e revivendo um passado eterno e muito romântico ,vem aqui dizer contar fazer parte desta linda pagina ,onde nosso grande TH-cam segue juntos com nós muito obrigado
I’m listening, I’m listening what will I hear? Is it the right song? Then it unfolds with so many beautiful touches. Lo it is now a blues song with orchestra and organ.
I grew up listening to all his music. But this album my dad & I listened to most by TV static for light. Different songs on the album jumped at me for Different times in my life. When dad was in the hospital after a heartattack, I play this talking to him til we got the call. Sang this song all the way to the hospital. I refused to buy cds until this album was in cd. I still have both record copies of my dad's & cassette &cd . Record is still the best!
I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING MORE ABOUT "REALIZATION": I've loved a few other, minor details about this album. The way it starts, with a marching band, AND, the way most of the songs segue ( "How on earth did the 'ue' in 'segue' get pronounced "way"? ) from one to the next, as in the orchestra tuning up between SUMMER RAIN and WHITER SHADE OF PALE. I've always loved those things on this GEM! speaking of gems: Did you know that, pound for pound, RUBIES ARE WORTH MORE THAN DIAMONDS?!?!
🥀Amazing Song Brilliant lyrics, vocals and music! I love this song my sister's use to play this album all the time they were older than me but I love his music🥀✌🥀
my wife bought this album for me on my 18th birthday.. she was 14..we were married in 1972 and still married today 40 years years together.will always love this song
Good for you!. Best of luck.
It seems that every version of this Procol Harum's song is beautiful.
The song has a magic of itself.
What was nice still remains nice.
Thanks for telling us your story.
@@valdirbergamobergamo5396 yes..
I first heard Johnny's version. Good also
@@tonycheek1356 this song has no time, it is as the wind on our faces. It is now, it vanishes , but it is always somewhere.

Very well said. Life with its joys and pains is always worth living, at least that's what i keep telling myself.

For me the album " Realization" is one of the Best from Johnny Rivers.
Rewind also
I agree.
Add Changes and Rewind to Realization to have an excellent trilogy... and then consider the stunning fact that Johhny Rivers discovered Jimmy Webb.
I agree. Masterpiece!
His album Home Grown is a masterpiece
One of the greatest albums ever. Why is this man not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
I was 14,15,16 I would sit in my room listening to Johnny Rivers realizations, this was my salvation, my parents never talked to me. Thank you
Sounds very unusual...but I felt the same way

God bless you, brother...
Da um aperto muito grande no coração, saudade imensa dos velhos tempos. Thanks Mr. Rivers for such amazing memories.

One of the greatest ever; should be in the hall l of fame
It isn't worthy of his name added. I.m.h.o.
I love all Johnny Rivers song but this is very special!

Essa é a única versão que na minha opinião supera a original, todas são boas, mas o Johnny arrasou na interpretação.
Concordo!

J'adore et ja l ai écouté 1000 fois
I still have the same album I bought in 1971.
I still have this album from 1971 and it has no scratches
A primeira vez que houvi essa musica foi em 1971, num ginasio de esportes na cidade de Apucarana norte do Parana.
E nao era Johnni nem Procoll, era uma banda local, num ensaio.
Como marcou, e muito linda.
Eu nasci em 1971 está é a minha música que acalma o meu coração . Procuro ouvir para pensar na minha vida .
Mas quem gravou original foi Procoll Harum
A primeira x os uma das primeiras que ouvi foi em Jardim Alegre no vale do Ivai...show demais...Procoll ou Johnny tanto faz...linda demais!!!
Es un himno a la belleza!!
This whole album is awesome and under appreciated ..Hey Joe was one of my favs laying with my then gf back in 69-70 b4 going into the service. ..
indo para eternidade junto com o trem chamado saudades ,ali existe grandes amores grandes recordações ,e eu você nós ou todos estamos neste trem cheio de muito amor ,e revivendo um passado eterno e muito romântico ,vem aqui dizer contar fazer parte desta linda pagina ,onde nosso grande TH-cam segue juntos com nós muito obrigado
Versão maravilhosa!!! "Procol Harum" deve ter ficado orgulhoso com tamanha qualidade!!!!
truly, truly this is the only decent cover of the song. The best cover, a true original interpretation, it holds the original tune's deep passion.
I’m listening, I’m listening what will I hear? Is it the right song? Then it unfolds with so many beautiful touches. Lo it is now a blues song with orchestra and organ.
Essa versão chega a ser mais bonita do que a própria original.. O timbre de voz de Johnny River faz a diferença... 😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yo conocí a Johnny Rivers gracias a mi papá ...hacen 5 añoS que te fuiste viejo y no logro escuchar ninguno de estos temas sin largarme a llorar
Album released in Argentina,circa November 1968. One of the finest ever LP produced. My generation ,baby boomer. Argentina was a fan of J. Rivers
Wonderful sound that I love. When I was a child and now!
Yep...one of the greatest. Saw him in Vegas 3 years ago ...and still amazing
Quando ouço essas musicas da um aperto enorme no coração de tanta saudade.
Idem
Sinal de que tudo valeu muito a pena 💫✨
Another awesome cover. I really like his version of Into the Mystic. Although, I enjoy listening to anything he sings. He is awesome!
Into the Mystic was a great song for sure.....
I also love his version of "Into the Mystic"
I still have the Johnny Rivers version still play it often
IMHO the best version of this mystical, haunting, heart soaring song. Thank you for posting it!
Oh love Johnny rivers music so ooo great, should have all awards available
one of my favorite albums ever.
This is a great 60s album that never gets mentioned
I am very, very happy that i still have all of Johnny's albums. H e was truly an Icon to this beautiful music we call Rock n Roll.
Love this song. Im getting tickets to his concert!!😊❤
I grew up listening to all his music. But this album my dad & I listened to most by TV static for light. Different songs on the album jumped at me for Different times in my life. When dad was in the hospital after a heartattack, I play this talking to him til we got the call. Sang this song all the way to the hospital. I refused to buy cds until this album was in cd. I still have both record copies of my dad's & cassette &cd . Record is still the best!
Amooooo ....dancei muitooo...sdd eternas
..pra vcs meus amigos de bailinhos.....Edu... Nilson....Sergio....Alfredo...Ofelia....Lurdes....etc...
This music is the first of century XX.
Gracias!!!
I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING MORE ABOUT "REALIZATION": I've loved a few other, minor details about this album. The way it starts, with a marching band, AND, the way most of the songs segue ( "How on earth did the 'ue' in 'segue' get pronounced "way"? ) from one to the next, as in the orchestra tuning up between SUMMER RAIN and WHITER SHADE OF PALE. I've always loved those things on this GEM! speaking of gems: Did you know that, pound for pound, RUBIES ARE WORTH MORE THAN DIAMONDS?!?!
I too love all of Johnny Rivers music , this one is beautiful
Hermosaaaaa canción e interpretación!!! Una voz inconfundibleeee....💖😜😌😊
Muito bom
Johnny one of the best I have heard .....this guy can sing, but hits song over and over
Perfeita versão.
Onde ouvir essa versão
Purchased this album today for a $1... cant wait to play it.
I can't express how this album speaks to me!
To many years facing the fears
Of a man to paralized to say what's deep inside.
