When you're in your 20's your life travels at 20 MPH, 30's at 30 MPH so on and so forth.. Now that I'm in my 70's every day goes by in a blink of an eye. Make it count my friends. Make it count!
When I was in my 20's, I'd see old people with their white hair and walking sticks and just categorise them as a different species to me. It still shocks me when I look in the mirror and see I've become one of that species.
My husband & I celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary this year & every single time I hear this moving song I remember dancing with him as teenagers with chills from head to toe gliding across the dance floor with stars in our eyes. What a fine love story we have lived! Paul is now 71 & I am 70...may there be many more Whiter Shade of Pale dances!♥️♥️
Congratulation my wife and I will this December 27 and I will dedicated this song to her withold pictures of ourself in Tic Toc ...congratulation again .
Congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary 💕 nice Memories two young lovers who were meant for each other.💍 I also just recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary November 10th, 1973 - 2023 🥂

I think the song is generally about someone learning of an unpleasant reality of which he had been blissfully unaware. And I think it resonated with people of a certain age at that time who were learning, had learned, or we're about to learn, some unpleasant life lessons.

I am 78 years old. I did enjoy listening to this song, but even more I enjoyed reading the many memories that you all wrote. Some memories made me smile and some made sad, but I can relate to them all. My dearest friends all are gone now, but today I felt like I had friends here! Thanks.
I understand. All my close friends have passed as well. I'm 57, and all my close friends didn't make it to this age. I think of them many times while hearing the older songs. A couple of my friends were musicians and could play many of the older songs. Enjoy the music!
Hi Rosalie , some songs have a really strange effect on us ! When we are happy we love the music , but when we are sad we understand the lyrics ! 😅 ❤ Take Care Friend
I’m 60 years old. I’ve buried my Mom and Dad both sets of grandparents and a brother. I’m not in great health myself. I’ve had a good life. Of course some struggles as well. Music has always been my driving force. I’ve played drums and piano. Stay positive even through the bad. Keep jamming. Enjoy the ride it’s over in a snap. Godspeed.😎❤️
I was in love with a girl when we were 14 in 1967. She liked me but we were so shy and never connected after that year. I went in the service in 1971 and moved across the country when I got out with a toddler son to raise myself. 40 years later I was visiting my brother where we grew up and I ran into that girl. She had lost her husband. We have been together 14 years now and it has been the best time of our lives. We have never before felt the love we do for each other.
This was my husband's favorite song way back then. He's passed away now but I can see him clearly smiling as he did years ago when he played this gem over and over and over.
The first time I heard this song I was 15 and heard it on my lunch break at home for lunch. I walked back to Algebra class and could not get it off my mind. I knew then that it was a very special song. I’m a old lady now but it still brings so many emotions when I hear it. Truly a beautiful masterpiece
I'm 52 years old. Retired from military, been there, done that. Divorced after 27 years. Depression is a part of my life, might be forever. This song makes me cry and feel good at the same time because it gives me a good cry, for nothing and everything. I hope someone understands. God bless us all for doing no wrong but for doing what we were asked and expected to do on both sides of the fence. 😑 I hope that made sense. 🥰
Well, 52 is a good age. I believe there is still could be more good things in future than you have seen so far. You still can find the love of your life! Or enjoy being single.
I'm 73 and just played this number while in my home studio. Had not played this song since the 1960s. Played the cords and leads like it was 1964/5 all over again. Somethings just get stuck in your head forever. God, I miss those days. They were fantastic!
I am 98 yrs. old, and I love this song. I might even sing it at a karaoke! (Lots of old guys still have their wits). Besides, we are not old! We were just born before you!
When I hear this song I am transported to a small village in Switzerland.A tall handsome, young Canadian pulling me on the dance floor.Holding me tight!So handsome that I was so shy and wondering what he saw in me.Then we went walking in the in the moonlight until the chalets looked small below us.The mountains still snow covered in summer!The crisp heady air!What a romantic evening and memory.I am 70 years old now and still remember that evening as if it were last night!
11/30/20 To @Lorraine Cortes - *So very, very sorry for your loss.* 💔😢 ~~ 2o2o has *SUCKED* in every way possible for me & for most in America, that's for sure. I lost my sig other this year on 3/10/20, 15 days before the COVID panic, hysteria & the lockdown set in. I have no more words for this loss.💔 ~~ I'll just be so glad & relieved when it's finally Jan 1, *2022.* (I've already written off 2021 as a total loss & waste! 😷👎) Hopefully by 2022 this COVID nightmare 😵 will be over with & both the battles AND the war will have been won with the development of successful vaccines in 2o21.🤞😷😷 ~~~ Meanwhile ... as we all exist in social isolation & begin forgetting what the lower half of the human face looks like 😶 ... we can all dig deep into TH-cam, *find & listen to the BEST music ever made* & live on memories, laugh to the current & biting parodies & sarcasm of #StephenColbert, #JimmyFallon, #SNL, #DaveChappelle, #SethMeyers & others & wait it out until this COVID nightmare is over. 👍
Lorraine, I was very sorry to read about your brother. I have lost 3 brothers and three sisters. The pain is more tolerable as time goes on. Take Care.
In the fall of 1968 I went to a dance at the union hall when the band called out a ladies choice. And so it goes... A girl I knew but little tapped me on the back. 63 years, 6 kids,12 grandkids and all the and when we hear that organ, she still smiles we hang on tight and dance slow crcles to a whiter shade
65 to 76, an era in music that has no equal in mans history, nothing even close. Nor ever will be. Thank you john for what you did to this world. You changed everthing. Everything
Well, my music was the '40s thru the 50s and we were able to dance to all of our music. Slow, jitterbug, lindy, and so on. 70s music? You just had to listen to it. There is nothing like dancing a slow dance with your girlfriend, turned wife. And just embrace each other and feel the love you have for each other. Now, those are memories, my wife of 56+ years went home. She passed on July 20th, 2020 .We danced to In The Still of The Night on her 75th birthday. Never knowing that that would be Our Last Dance. Not saying your music was bad, but you couldn't close dance alot. Well, take care and God Bless You.

❤ 1970s me da y tristeza y felicidad. Cuándo escuchó ésa hermosa Melodía me trai gratos Recuerdos de mi novia MARIBEL ella la cantaba, en MAZATLAN Sinaloa MX. PacoS Memories Music ❤❤❤
I was in grade 10 in High School in 1967. This song always makes me want to cry. Some of the best music was written in the 1960's + 1970's. Thank you. God bless you. 💗➕💗
I was born in 80 and as amazing as my childhood was and my teens In the 90s I can only imagine how magical being a teen in the 40s 50s 60s 70s or even 80s. There was still magic mystery and discovery for us but not anymore for these children.
I am 53 . The song was produced the year I was born . My parents played this song so many times when I was a kid . Always wondered what it was about …?
I have lots of songs from the 60s up to the 90s that make me feel that way. Go on and cry. It's a beautiful thing to have feelings of nostalgia that deep. It makes you remember to not take life for granted. I'm realizing that "kush got me like" , so that's all. ✌🏾♥️🤘🏾🙏🏾
If you trace the chordal element, it does a bar or two of Bach's 'Air on a G String' before it veers off. That spark was all it took. I wasn't consciously combining rock with classical, it's just that Bach's music was in me. -Gary Brooker
This song was my father's favorite, he just passed away a month ago at the age of 37, i still have a video of him singing this song while playing ukulele Everytime i listen to this song, i can't hold my tears.. miss him so much..
Gave you a thumbs up ,friend. My condolence. I am 66 and still, i listen to the song. It is beautiful. Please have your Late Dad's video put on a dvd. Cheers from SA.🇿🇦👍
Im 47, and when i was a kid, every once in a while, my parents would cut off all the lights, light a couple of candles, smoke a joint, and listen to music. This was one of the songs they would listen to. They've been dead for years, but to the day they died, they never stopped doing that. I miss them.
Gosh! It is that kind of song indeed. I’m 77 and most of my school mates are gone; my siblings; my husband. Wow! Lots to shed tears for, sadness and joy. Memories!🙏🏽❤️
I agree this would be a wrong choice for a wedding song. lol If you listen to the words it’s about a girl who overdosed on drugs in a bar. In those days the phrase the millers tells his tale means to die while tripping on drugs.
I was born in 1962 and as I was growing up fell in love with 60s, 70s, and 80s music…. 3 of my favorite decades. Great music, great memories … 3 decades of life caught in music ….thanks for the memories and great music.
Me too....they send me a lot of ekecteonuc stuff. I'm not against it. Have beeb dancing free sryle up to now, U'm 54..but it's not the same used ro at violoncello in orchestra since U was,10 ..😉☺🙃😘Up to16..and never stoped singing and performing. Music saved my life!!!💚💛❤💯💣💥
I met my Husband 55 years ago, in a Bar on the back Street In St. Thomas Virgin island. I was there with a friend who worked there. On the Juke Box this song was playing, as I walked in, Whiter Shade of Pale, I heard that song for the first time. It stayed with me through the years. We are still together. That Song is special to me, I heard a guy from Nigeria singing it today. I looked it up, so many versions from different Artists, singing this song. Remarkable, how some things and songs stay with you always. Love it.
Everytime I am playing and listenin this song am always teary eyed.😥so many memories happy and sad.. Thank you for having this immortal song .am 65 yrs old and I love it ❤️
I began my first semester at Sacramento City College as l let my hair grow down to my ass, dropped acid, designed psychedelic anti Vietnam War protest signs Made love not war then got my 'Greetings you be drafted for Vietnam" letter 1970... returned shredded spiritually 1972 to get called vile names and spit on my uniform..
This was my Father's favourite song of all time, we played it at his memorial. He went missing on the ocean in Ohope, New Zealand, and his body was never found. He was 71 - this one's for you dad, I love you and miss you...
This song apparently used to be the favourite of Dutch journalist and fighter against injustice Peter R. de Vries, who died on the 15th of July after being shot a week before by criminals. It's hard to explain here what De Vries meant for the Dutch (except being on the telly just all the time) but in his, too short, life he did so many good things and helped heal those who were broken before. While The Netherlands appears to be a nation in mourning this week, I hope many will come to this song in his remembrance to honour him. For me this song will forever be Peter's.
Driving with my mother back in the 60's she loved this song, playing on the shitty AM radio singing along. Thank you Mom, you were the best mom a kid could ask for. 🙏
Rubbish! What does it mean? I'm 67 a 1970's chick. This song makes no sense! I loved it till I listened to the words. What did the Miller say to turn her face a ghostly shade of pale!? C'mon!!!
@@mariehillard1742 That's like complaining about the Mona Lisa smiling and you don't know why. Just love the song, you don't have to understand every word.
Best song ever! Especially for slow dancing was my first dance Will a guy I really like he had my girlfriend come up and asked me if I would dance with him I will never forget it ❤️💙
My mom is 72 years old and absolutely loves this song, I play it once a week for her it always puts a smile on her face, and I happen to like it too ❤️
This song is heavier than Nights in white satin. Nearly an impossible accomplishment. And your correct. The people in 2360 will be listening to this absolutely magnificent tune with the equal admiration we do.
My dad introduced me to this song, I absolutely love it. I'm a guitar player. This is one of my favorite songs to sing along to.i wanna learn the chords so I can play along to it as well
I'm 40 and this song is beautiful no matter what age you are. It's truly a masterpiece and should go down in the history books as one of the greatest songs ever written. 💖
This song had been played today July 21th 2021 at 11:00 for Peter R. De Vries by all Dutch radiostations. He has been murdered for his believe to be honoust. He never bended a knee for criminals until bullets of a coward made him bend😢 On bended knee is no way to be free... Rest in peace Peter🙏🇳🇱
He sounds like my kind of fellow. The darkness always tries to extinguish the brightest lights,but they never put them out completely. Ben Franklin said any society that give up some of it's freedom for a little security deserves niether. This man knew that.
My 81 year old mom is crying her ❤ out longing for my dad that passed on 2 years ago😢 this was their song ...let it out mommy😢 think about your yester years with your happy times with daddy❤2024 blessed as well as sad times with my mom❤
Arcachon , seaside near Bordeaux. June 1967 with my wonderful grand mother.I was 9 years old. We both adored this song we were regularly hearing on the juke box of the beach. She passed away in 1994 and taught me a lot. Very frequently, when I think of her , this song plays on the radio , in a taxi or in a room. She thus sends me a beautiful message and I feel happy !
used to hear this song while patrolling the DMZ in Vietnam on my Armored Personnel Carrier in 1969. Though the lyric was nothing about where I was, I still associate this song with that time I spent expecting to die. If you were fighting, you weren't writing songs, you were listening to them because you grew up on rock n' roll.
Procul Harum's follow up to this, "Homburg" has a similar feel, and I find it even more stirring. As is "Pilgrim's Progress" Which always chokes me up.
I heard Peter Frampton say this was probably one of the greatest songs of all time the most perfect song and I believe he spoke that from his heart I am Mike Watkins and I thank God for songs like this👍🎸🎼🎹
Im 66 yrs old and was immediately transported back to when my dad bought me this record ... I remember he said. .." This is one of those songs you will never forget" Miss you heaps dad 😢
Well I'm 70 years old and I listen to this song quite often, sometimes you just have to cry for all the time that has gone, the greatest time, the greatest songs, the greatest memories, and the fastest badass cars!!!
Just saw the news about 10 minutes ago, then came here. The song was perfect back when I heard it when it first came out and it's still perfect today (02-22-2022). R.I.P. Gary Brooker! Condolences to his family, the band and we fans. Thanks for uploading!
One of the most beautiful song for me: the music, the singing, the fantastic voice, the personality of the singer......all perfect. A GIFT FROM HEAVEN!!!!!!
Our generation is going so fast, I'm 66 and my children grew up with this music and I think that's why both of them are musicians, I'm a musician myself, and I know we left something sublime behind for them to remember us, feel sad at this moment, perhaps is nostalgia.
I've got you by 3 years. 😁 Similar in that my daughter's were all brought up with all kinds of music but leaning strongly towards songs and groups like this. I wanted them to be exposed to it all. I'm a musician too playing several instruments. It brings me peace daily. One daughter out of 3 sings. She has a powerful 4 octive range. But all must have music too in their lives. It's always been such a gift to me. Hang in there. Peace. 🎵🎶🎵😁🎵🎶🎵
Sitting in the shade of the sandbag bunker at Khe Sanh, South Vietnam, waiting for the next phase of North Vietnamese artillery or mortars, February 1968. My best buddy, who introduced my wife and I back in 1964, George Walbrdige, just burned to death in the crash of the only C-130 the Marine Corps lost in that war, stitched up the underbelly by a enemy machine gun while flying in bladders of aviation gas ... plus George and a few other Marines. "White Shade of Pale," "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, and the Animals "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place," all the songs we had on a tape recorder. In another world. In another time. In another life.
Driving my dying father home from hospital and wondering what things I'd like to know before it's too late, I asked him "what is your favourite song?" And that's what has brought me here to this video tonight. I'm glad I asked.

73 years old and just reliving my time in my life... wonderful memories to hold dear to my heart.
Me too! 1951! One of my favorite songs,
❤ love ❤ this song so much too I'll be 71, August 23, catching up with you 😂 God bless you forever ♾️🌹 My friend 😘💯💜🌹
Me too. Couldn't have said it better.
You must check out his live version in Denmark. It's beautiful with a full orchestra back up. It's on TH-cam.
Me too .Those wonderful times .
When you're in your 20's your life travels at 20 MPH, 30's at 30 MPH so on and so forth..
Now that I'm in my 70's every day goes by in a blink of an eye. Make it count my friends. Make it count!
Truer words were never spoken. I’m 73 this year and feel time just slipping and sliding by.
When I was in my 20's, I'd see old people with their white hair and walking sticks and just categorise them as a different species to me. It still shocks me when I look in the mirror and see I've become one of that species.
For me the days drag. All by myself at 68. The years fly by.
No truer words could be spoken. Life is fleeting. Hold on to those you love...
God bless you Mathew.
I am 77 years and I have enjoyed this song as one of my favourites from when it first was sung.
An endless classic- one of my favorites, along with Almost Paradise!
So did I !

Thanks for posting.
Yes..now big companies decide where new wars will start...The Iraq war was a disgrace
You can say that again ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

It's one of the great greats
One of the greatest songs of all time. Hard to beat the late 60's and the 70's. This is classic.
Anos 60,70 só músicas lindas eu ouço todas, não deixo passar uma é por isso eu sou feliz ☺ ☺ foi a melhor época. 💕😁💕
There will NEVER be music again like the 60's and 70's.

LYRICS:
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 the miller told his 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 have 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
And so it was that later
I am 78 years old. I did enjoy listening to this song, but even more I enjoyed reading the many memories that you all wrote. Some memories made me smile and some made sad, but I can relate to them all. My dearest friends all are gone now, but today I felt like I had friends here! Thanks.
we are not alone here.
I understand. All my close friends have passed as well. I'm 57, and all my close friends didn't make it to this age. I think of them many times while hearing the older songs. A couple of my friends were musicians and could play many of the older songs. Enjoy the music!

I was in love with a girl when we were 14 in 1967. She liked me but we were so shy and never connected after that year. I went in the service in 1971 and moved across the country when I got out with a toddler son to raise myself. 40 years later I was visiting my brother where we grew up and I ran into that girl. She had lost her husband. We have been together 14 years now and it has been the best time of our lives. We have never before felt the love we do for each other.
I wish 🙏🏼 I have a man ♂️💜 to love me they cheat 😭😮😮😮
Sorry❤❤
What an amazing story 🥰😭 You are blessed, my friend 🤗

This was my husband's favorite song way back then. He's passed away now but I can see him clearly smiling as he did years ago when he played this gem over and over and over.

we remain spiritually in all the things we used to love
The first time I heard this song I was 15 and heard it on my lunch break at home for lunch. I walked back to Algebra class and could not get it off my mind. I knew then that it was a very special song. I’m a old lady now but it still brings so many emotions when I hear it. Truly a beautiful masterpiece

The summer of love 🤍 Peace Festival ✌️ happy memories
Although you would have been quite young.
I'm 52 years old. Retired from military, been there, done that. Divorced after 27 years. Depression is a part of my life, might be forever. This song makes me cry and feel good at the same time because it gives me a good cry, for nothing and everything. I hope someone understands. God bless us all for doing no wrong but for doing what we were asked and expected to do on both sides of the fence. 😑 I hope that made sense. 🥰
Right there with you. Great memories through the tears!
Well, 52 is a good age. I believe there is still could be more good things in future than you have seen so far. You still can find the love of your life! Or enjoy being single.
Hopefully there is still good things in the future. God will help all of us
Blessings
Hygigf was a great boi
I am 74 and i love to here these oldies bringing back sweet memories ❤️😊
To me too.
I'm 73 and just played this number while in my home studio. Had not played this song since the 1960s. Played the cords and leads like it was 1964/5 all over again. Somethings just get stuck in your head forever. God, I miss those days. They were fantastic!
A song that makes sense in so many different ways to so many people ! May whoever be reading this in 2023 be blessed !
And you, too, in '24!
God bless us in 2024
Brings back memories of when we were newly married and now I am a widow of 10 years. Where on earth has all that time gone. Miss him so much xx
I've travelled time from the year 2024 to wish you the best ! 😂
I am 98 yrs. old, and I love this song. I might even sing it at a karaoke! (Lots of old guys still have their wits). Besides, we are not old! We were just born before you!
I just turned 60, love this songs and most of the songs of the 60's and 70's. 💞
... cool ... I just became 54 ... I'm with you 😎😉
May God Bless you Jaddy!
To Irma and Joey Ibay......
Happy Birthday , I just had one.
When I hear this song I am transported to a small village in Switzerland.A tall handsome, young Canadian pulling me on the dance floor.Holding me tight!So handsome that I was so shy and wondering what he saw in me.Then we went walking in the in the moonlight until the chalets looked small below us.The mountains still snow covered in summer!The crisp heady air!What a romantic evening and memory.I am 70 years old now and still remember that evening as if it were last night!
Buenas los recuerdos hermosos y la música nunca mueren..
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful memory simply touching a genuine hopeless romantics heart, 💙💪✌️👍🙏😊💙, bless you , ...
@@milotorres6894 Thank you for listening to me!
Great to keep those memories alive
That is so beautiful !
I will never forget the great times I had back then. Love this song. My generation was the best.😊
Same here
Yes it was
So True!
... No it was not ... Do not be too sentimental ... Those times we're great though ... I am 72 ❤
There are some songs you listen to ,then there are some songs you feel,this is one of them
I dedicate this song to my younger brother at 54 yrs whom died of alcohalism and Covid. Rip Gregory Burrows💖🀄🙏
11/30/20 To @Lorraine Cortes - *So very, very sorry for your loss.* 💔😢 ~~ 2o2o has *SUCKED* in every way possible for me & for most in America, that's for sure. I lost my sig other this year on 3/10/20, 15 days before the COVID panic, hysteria & the lockdown set in. I have no more words for this loss.💔 ~~ I'll just be so glad & relieved when it's finally Jan 1, *2022.* (I've already written off 2021 as a total loss & waste! 😷👎) Hopefully by 2022 this COVID nightmare 😵 will be over with & both the battles AND the war will have been won with the development of successful vaccines in 2o21.🤞😷😷 ~~~ Meanwhile ... as we all exist in social isolation & begin forgetting what the lower half of the human face looks like 😶 ... we can all dig deep into TH-cam, *find & listen to the BEST music ever made* & live on memories, laugh to the current & biting parodies & sarcasm of #StephenColbert, #JimmyFallon, #SNL, #DaveChappelle, #SethMeyers & others & wait it out until this COVID nightmare is over. 👍
Sad sorry for your lost. Covid.
I'm so sorry for your loss 😭 may he rest in peace
Lorraine, I was very sorry to read about your brother. I have lost 3 brothers and three sisters. The pain is more tolerable as time goes on. Take Care.
So sorry for your loss
In the fall of 1968 I went to a dance at the union hall when the band called out a ladies choice. And so it goes... A girl I knew but little tapped me on the back. 63 years, 6 kids,12 grandkids and all the and when we hear that organ, she still smiles we hang on tight and dance slow crcles to a whiter shade
Beautiful
How beautiful 😍 ❤
I love your beautiful memories
My Dad loved this song!
Very interesting.
I turned 80 this week and tears and happiness are abounding. Changes every minute. ❤️❤️
65 to 76, an era in music that has no equal in mans history, nothing even close. Nor ever will be. Thank you john for what you did to this world. You changed everthing. Everything
Well, my music was the '40s thru the 50s and we were able to dance to all of our music. Slow, jitterbug, lindy, and so on. 70s music? You just had to listen to it. There is nothing like dancing a slow dance with your girlfriend, turned wife. And just embrace each other and feel the love you have for each other. Now, those are memories, my wife of 56+ years went home. She passed on July 20th, 2020 .We danced to In The Still of The Night on her 75th birthday. Never knowing that that would be Our Last Dance. Not saying your music was bad, but you couldn't close dance alot. Well, take care and God Bless You.
❤
It's from the 17th Century.
I wouldn't trade those years for anything!
Bwhahahahahahahah!!!
The lyricist was cremated today, aged about 77. Thank you for this masterpiece. RIP.

Lyrics :
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 the miller told his 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 have 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
And so it was that later
There will never be another space in time I was 10 and it was on the am radio
Can't help myself from listening to this all the time. My son was born in 1967. Great year❤

PacoS Memories Music ❤❤❤
I was in grade 10 in High School in 1967. This song always makes me want to cry. Some of the best music was written in the 1960's + 1970's. Thank you. God bless you. 💗➕💗
I was born in 80 and as amazing as my childhood was and my teens In the 90s I can only imagine how magical being a teen in the 40s 50s 60s 70s or even 80s. There was still magic mystery and discovery for us but not anymore for these children.
I am 53 . The song was produced the year I was born . My parents played this song so many times when I was a kid . Always wondered what it was about …?
I have lots of songs from the 60s up to the 90s that make me feel that way. Go on and cry. It's a beautiful thing to have feelings of nostalgia that deep. It makes you remember to not take life for granted. I'm realizing that "kush got me like" , so that's all. ✌🏾♥️🤘🏾🙏🏾

Same way here .
Ever trip the light fandango??
Me, either.
Me too
I'm 70 & still love this song.
I’m 70 years old and the songs of this era were insightful to say the least. This one is so beautiful... it touches my heart and every cell in my body
Me too!
If you trace the chordal element, it does a bar or two of Bach's 'Air on a G String' before it veers off. That spark was all it took. I wasn't consciously combining rock with classical, it's just that Bach's music was in me.
-Gary Brooker
@@Gjonesy9 You're right, it does. Never made that observation before.
Well,

One of the most beautiful songs ever.
Absolutely beautiful 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉❤❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤I,agree 💯👍😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This song was my father's favorite, he just passed away a month ago at the age of 37, i still have a video of him singing this song while playing ukulele
Everytime i listen to this song, i can't hold my tears.. miss him so much..
Gave you a thumbs up ,friend. My condolence. I am 66 and still, i listen to the song. It is beautiful. Please have your Late Dad's video put on a dvd. Cheers from SA.🇿🇦👍
Bless you and your DAD.
Don't hold them back. Let them flow.
I don't know how you will take this, but if you really want to, you will meet him again in this life or another life..

I just turned 72. This piece of art is a treasure. Still gets me to this day.❤
As a (very) young man in high school, this song helped me through some hard times. Timeless.
Watch and listen to Emily Linge's cover of this on utube. All piano and very good.
@@bretthompson3865 i like a bit of organ myself.
72, too

Beautiful memories…may God rest his soul xx
Im 47, and when i was a kid, every once in a while, my parents would cut off all the lights, light a couple of candles, smoke a joint, and listen to music. This was one of the songs they would listen to. They've been dead for years, but to the day they died, they never stopped doing that. I miss them.
One of my most favourite songs. This will never be forgotten, so much emotion. Who else is listening July 2020?
Me Boni brings old memories
Me!
Got my keyboard ready to learn this amazing song
FROM THE GULF COAST
still listening to this song love itttt...
This is just one those song's. Brilliant. It grab's you. Doesn't let go. No matter your age. Timeless.
DBM, I agree with you. I have never heard an organ solo hold on to you like this. Whenever I hear this song, it takes me prisoner.
i m resetting the melody to new lyrics
I agree, it just captures you. Timeless indeed
Or do you mean timele’s’s?
Transcendent.
Gosh! It is that kind of song indeed. I’m 77 and most of my school mates are gone; my siblings; my husband. Wow! Lots to shed tears for, sadness and joy. Memories!🙏🏽❤️
3;16 AM and I know what you mean.
It sounds like a dirge.
Your lucky still alive . I'm 35 now I think I can't reach my 50 I will die
Life it`s just that!

Time stands Still when I hear this song!
I'm back in the early 70's!
So true,Time stand still!
This was the wedding song for my parents. Makes me tear up any time I hear it. Rest in peace, dad.
Was my dads wedding song too x it breaks my heart x I never got to say goodbye
Sympathies Both & All Of Your families
That's a really fucked up wedding song bro 😞
I agree this would be a wrong choice for a wedding song. lol If you listen to the words it’s about a girl who overdosed on drugs in a bar. In those days the phrase the millers tells his tale means to die while tripping on drugs.
@@onniekeathleymusic Yea, thing is back then you didn't know all the backstories for many popular songs. There were no resources to look that up.
I'm 67yo and it's October2020. I used to listen this song during my teenager times.

You have a really good time there sir
Same,.I'll be 66 in January.
Same here, and I'm the same age as you. This was one of my favorite songs growing up in the '60's.

My son Bernie is Born 1967 and has passed at November 2021 and so I spent Him this wonderful Song in love, I miss him
Still listening October 2024. One of the best songs to come out of the 60's . Oh the memories of this young preteen. Priceless
I was born in 1962 and as I was growing up fell in love with 60s, 70s, and 80s music…. 3 of my favorite decades. Great music, great memories … 3 decades of life caught in music ….thanks for the memories and great music.
me too, ‘62, have to say minus the 80s
Me too! The 60's, 70's & 80's!
I was born in 1962 also, small world
I wish we had music like this today. Truly, a masterpiece. RIP Mr. Brooker.
We DO have music like this......EXACTLY like this......whenever we want ..thanks to YT and record players xxx
Me too....they send me a lot of ekecteonuc stuff. I'm not against it. Have beeb dancing free sryle up to now, U'm 54..but it's not the same used ro at violoncello in orchestra since U was,10 ..😉☺🙃😘Up to16..and never stoped singing and performing. Music saved my life!!!💚💛❤💯💣💥
Loved it then, Love it now!!!
I met my Husband 55 years ago, in a Bar on the back Street In St. Thomas Virgin island. I was there with a friend who worked there. On the Juke Box this song was playing, as I walked in, Whiter Shade of Pale, I heard that song for the first time. It stayed with me through the years. We are still together.
That Song is special to me, I heard a guy from Nigeria singing it today.
I looked it up, so many versions from different Artists, singing this song.
Remarkable, how some things and songs stay with you always. Love it.
God was riding right through his Heart! Forever song!
One of the most beautiful songs and melodies ever written. So many memories.
Patricia Brooks, concordo plenamente com voçê, essa é a música da minha vida.
Grande abraço!
Bach lives on
I snuck into a bar when I was 16 and this was the first song I ever slow danced to. I remember his name, every thing about him. A life long memory
Everytime I am playing and listenin this song am always teary eyed.😥so many memories happy and sad..
Thank you for having this immortal song .am 65 yrs old and I love it ❤️
I began my first semester at Sacramento City College as l let my hair grow down to my ass, dropped acid, designed psychedelic anti Vietnam War protest signs
Made love not war then got my 'Greetings you be drafted for Vietnam" letter 1970... returned shredded spiritually 1972 to get called vile names and spit on my uniform..
This was my Father's favourite song of all time, we played it at his memorial. He went missing on the ocean in Ohope, New Zealand, and his body was never found. He was 71 - this one's for you dad, I love you and miss you...
This song apparently used to be the favourite of Dutch journalist and fighter against injustice Peter R. de Vries, who died on the 15th of July after being shot a week before by criminals. It's hard to explain here what De Vries meant for the Dutch (except being on the telly just all the time) but in his, too short, life he did so many good things and helped heal those who were broken before. While The Netherlands appears to be a nation in mourning this week, I hope many will come to this song in his remembrance to honour him. For me this song will forever be Peter's.
Tomorrow at 11 in the morning, when his funeral starts, all dutch radiostations will play this song!
He was an Soldier on the right path it is hurting me that he is passed away our Dutch legend and hero R. I. P Peter R De Vries
❤
We lost an icon
❤⚘😥
Probably the one of the greatest songs every written. RIP my friend
55 years today this song hit the world. May 25th 1967.

But the gift was greater than the loss. ❤️
Driving with my mother back in the 60's she loved this song, playing on the shitty AM radio singing along. Thank you Mom, you were the best mom a kid could ask for. 🙏
One of the greatest rock songs of all time, and an anthem of the late 60's-early 70's. Saw these guys live in Charleston, SC in 1973--RIP Gary!
Rubbish! What does it mean? I'm 67 a 1970's chick. This song makes no sense! I loved it till I listened to the words. What did the Miller say to turn her face a ghostly shade of pale!? C'mon!!!
Tiger eye - yes! Marie - sorry, but if you haven’t got it by now you never will 🤷♀️
@@mariehillard1742 That's like complaining about the Mona Lisa smiling and you don't know why.
Just love the song, you don't have to understand every word.
Best song ever! Especially for slow dancing was my first dance Will a guy I really like he had my girlfriend come up and asked me if I would dance with him I will never forget it ❤️💙
Lucky you
My mom is 72 years old and absolutely loves this song, I play it once a week for her it always puts a smile on her face, and I happen to like it too ❤️
And she is grand. And Thank you my Son , Andrew
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. YOU WERE CORRECT.
That's so awesome. God bless.
i am 79 yrs this beautiful song plays,it still puts a smile on my face..i love this old song.
Play it more than once a week.
Same here. My mother is 72 too. And this is one of her favourite song...
Just turned 70 and this song still takes back to my youth and makes me youthful when I listen to it now.
I'm 74
.and it makes me relive the greatest days of my life
Whiter Shade of Pale was simply a masterpiece that will live on for centuries.
This song is heavier than Nights in white satin. Nearly an impossible accomplishment. And your correct. The people in 2360 will be listening to this absolutely magnificent tune with the equal admiration we do.
*IS not was
Yes indeed. Indeed it is.!!!
You r’ sure...
yep
I'm just crying and clicking on thumbs ups! You're never alone when there's music like this!
Doing and feeling the same, Jeff

I love this song and have the original 45. I listen to my favorites every day! Great music will never die!
My dad introduced me to this song, I absolutely love it. I'm a guitar player. This is one of my favorite songs to sing along to.i wanna learn the chords so I can play along to it as well
I'm 40 and this song is beautiful no matter what age you are. It's truly a masterpiece and should go down in the history books as one of the greatest songs ever written. 💖
Number one on the hit parade the day I was born :) I have to agree!
Goodmorning ! Fijne dag toegewenst! Groetjes aan iederéén van de muziek ❤🇳🇱🌹🎼👋😘

I danced to this in my one room apartment with the love of my life and it still and will always bring me to tears. A true classic heart and soul
One of the best songs EVER!!!
There will never EVER be times and singers like these AGAIN!❤❤🙏❤❤
This song had been played today July 21th 2021 at 11:00 for Peter R. De Vries by all Dutch radiostations. He has been murdered for his believe to be honoust. He never bended a knee for criminals until bullets of a coward made him bend😢
On bended knee is no way to be free... Rest in peace Peter🙏🇳🇱
❤️
🙏 do not know him, yet. Now I will find your story. Thank you for sharing this. 🙏❤️ ~ USA
He sounds like my kind of fellow. The darkness always tries to extinguish the brightest lights,but they never put them out completely. Ben Franklin said any society that give up some of it's freedom for a little security deserves niether. This man knew that.
he must have been a good man if he liked this
SALUTE !!!
My 81 year old mom is crying her ❤ out longing for my dad that passed on 2 years ago😢 this was their song ...let it out mommy😢 think about your yester years with your happy times with daddy❤2024 blessed as well as sad times with my mom❤

They just don't make music and lyrics like this anymore. Such emotion
78 years young still listening. Rock on La!
Arcachon , seaside near Bordeaux. June 1967 with my wonderful grand mother.I was 9 years old. We both adored this song we were regularly hearing on the juke box of the beach. She passed away in 1994 and taught me a lot.
Very frequently, when I think of her , this song plays on the radio , in a taxi or in a room. She thus sends me a beautiful message and I feel happy !
Memories are Forever . gb* ~ hard life (MULDEW)
Thank you. My dad bought us Beatle Albums. I was four when this came.
... I was four when this came out. Golden Age of music and movies
I wonder if it is still on the Jukebox at the Pier at Merytle Beach
This one never goes away... Always brings back a lot of happy childhood memoirs. Saying it is a classic is an understatement.
How can a few minute song bring back so so many memories?? That's what real songs do...
Yes! You hit the nail right on the head.
spot on..
I'm listening. This song brings back so many memories of one's youth. It's beautiful in every sense of the word.
This is one if those songs that resonates with growing up in the 60's and 70's
It never gets old I've always liked it. Wish we still had music like this.
I'm 65 years old from Indonesia ..I love this song very much....!!!.
Me too. I'm British always thought these guys were American. 😅
used to hear this song while patrolling the DMZ in Vietnam on my Armored Personnel Carrier in 1969. Though the lyric was nothing about where I was, I still associate this song with that time I spent expecting to die. If you were fighting, you weren't writing songs, you were listening to them because you grew up on rock n' roll.
@Blessed With A Perfect Life acknowledged. My condolences for your terrible loss.
Thank you for your service to our country, this song is beautiful and thanks to you and everyone who served 🙂

Memories of mum and dad dancing this song. I was just a toddler, but surprising what children take in. Missing you mum and dad R.I.P.... Nostalgic...
We are like sponges that soak all those magical days of childhood in our soul. Your parents had great taste in music. God Bless,Patty

What a beautiful memory to have.
Sorry for your loss. My parents have been gone awhile . I'm 71 and thinking of my own death.. We all die in the end.
So ,how old are you now ?
Im 33 yo, i gave birth to my first kid last week ... And we are listening to this during our sleeples nights ...
Good news ant the best for you and for you baby. From Morocco
Congratulations!
Congratulations, try Bluebird by Alexis Ffrench. He wrote it for his baby daughter.
I’m 18yo and it’s December 2020. I prefer this kind of music rather than what there is today. This has emotions that you can feel and hear.
Procul Harum's follow up to this, "Homburg" has a similar feel, and I find it even more stirring. As is "Pilgrim's Progress" Which always chokes me up.
me too
#ShineOn 👏
@@StrawB0ss Now say something negative.
Who gives a fucking shit
Ived loved this song since I was 11 years old, which was 54 years ago. It's just a magical work of art.
I thought that am the only one in 2023 to listen to this😊
I’m 17, it’s 2021.and I want nothing more than to close my eyes and listen to this song forever
I was the same age as you babysitting for my sister and just listened to her records of this on repeat
Yes!!!!!!
Right! Too bad my friends would rather listen to cardi B then enjoy a song like this
I didn't understand much about life at 13 years old when this ballad came out, but I listened to this mournful romance obsessively for hours on end.
How can you not love this classic absolutely graceful!
You know it's a great song when the song is older than you are.
RIP Gary. Absolutely fantastic song. A true masterpiece.
🙏🥺💙
My favorite song ever
I am listening to this now as a litle tribute to him! What a marvelous Classic of all times ! R I P Gary!!!🙏
This song is timeless. 💯
Who's Gary?
I heard Peter Frampton say this was probably one of the greatest songs of all time the most perfect song and I believe he spoke that from his heart I am Mike Watkins and I thank God for songs like this👍🎸🎼🎹
You said it better thankyou
This music spoiled us. So little compares today.
I am now 84 and it is still my favorite!
😀
I was born in 84 and one of my favorites
Im 66 yrs old and was immediately transported back to when my dad bought me this record ...
I remember he said. .." This is one of those songs you will never forget"
Miss you heaps dad 😢
Awwwww 🥰 your comment so heart warming and touching. Nice reading your comment, how are you doing..
Well I'm 70 years old and I listen to this song quite often, sometimes you just have to cry for all the time that has gone, the greatest time, the greatest songs, the greatest memories, and the fastest badass cars!!!
right on my brother we lived in the best time in history
@@garyhartley3680 I'll be 71 in November & I still love this song.
Just saw the news about 10 minutes ago, then came here. The song was perfect back when I heard it when it first came out and it's still perfect today (02-22-2022). R.I.P. Gary Brooker! Condolences to his family, the band and we fans. Thanks for uploading!
Look up a version he did in 2004 he’s sat at the piano in a red jacket might help you find it if you’ve not seen it. Brilliant.
Such a classic...brings back so many great memories !
Love that song. Rest in Peace.
Same here, I always thought it was Winwood singing this. Dumb me, but still learning 50 years later.
Rest in peace dear man.
This is one of my favorite songs! The best version of course! 💜👏👏👏
One of the most beautiful song for me: the music, the singing, the fantastic voice, the personality of the singer......all perfect. A GIFT FROM HEAVEN!!!!!!
Perfecto como lo dices Aurora, la canción mas perfecta del mundo a la fecha .....
He is still performing it.
as the miller told his tale
Our generation is going so fast, I'm 66 and my children grew up with this music and I think that's why both of them are musicians, I'm a musician myself, and I know we left something sublime behind for them to remember us, feel sad at this moment, perhaps is nostalgia.
I'm 43 and I've always listened to this. Some of us still appreciate it
Raised with Rhythm thanks for carrying and handing down the torch.
So cool tune, I’m still in a concert for 1 my whole life, music has been happiness for me always.
37 and love it!
I've got you by 3 years. 😁
Similar in that my daughter's were all brought up with all kinds of music but leaning strongly towards songs and groups like this. I wanted them to be exposed to it all.
I'm a musician too playing several instruments. It brings me peace daily.
One daughter out of 3 sings. She has a powerful 4 octive range. But all must have music too in their lives.
It's always been such a gift to me.
Hang in there.
Peace. 🎵🎶🎵😁🎵🎶🎵
I am 75 and still love listening to this song.
About the same age as my mum who introduced me to this fantastic song 😊
Me Too. 65.

Sitting in the shade of the sandbag bunker at Khe Sanh, South Vietnam, waiting for the next phase of North Vietnamese artillery or mortars, February 1968. My best buddy, who introduced my wife and I back in 1964, George Walbrdige, just burned to death in the crash of the only C-130 the Marine Corps lost in that war, stitched up the underbelly by a enemy machine gun while flying in bladders of aviation gas ... plus George and a few other Marines. "White Shade of Pale," "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, and the Animals "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place," all the songs we had on a tape recorder. In another world. In another time. In another life.

Ed........you got me in my feelings......much respect Devil Dog.....
+Ed Evans ....No kidding!!! This is serious stuff!!!!
+Ed Evans My father who was a WW2 vet used to say about combat, "You can't imagine." Thanks for your service, sir.
The greatest music of that generation. Oh, how I miss those days!
My dad passed in 2009 and he loved this song. When I hear it it brings such beautiful memories.
My dad's favorite song....passed away too 3 years ago 💜💜💜
Driving my dying father home from hospital and wondering what things I'd like to know before it's too late, I asked him "what is your favourite song?" And that's what has brought me here to this video tonight. I'm glad I asked.

Same here my dad loved it & he passed away in 2021
❤ I'm 73 and this song takes me back in time it's such mellow and beautiful song I could listen to it over and over it's the best ❤❤
I have been listening to this song for many years. Will never tire of it.
