I've always loved his singing besides his playing and songs, of course. A very unique band with a sound of their own. He will be greatly missed.

What?? Oh, dear! I saw NICOS’ thread and thought he’d scrapped it due to being unsure over whether the news was credible! I did a Google search and saw that Brooker had passed for certain, so posted a link. I didn’t think to check the date!

I don't even think it matters, any music site is pretty much just the obituaries and they are dropping dead so fast I can't even remember who's dead anymore

Here in America it's our comedians passing away. Richard Belzer, Gilbert Gottfried, Norm MacDonald, Bob Sagett. We're not having a great passing of rock stars because we were basically decapitated in 1970-71 with Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison. Then we lost our future with Duane Allman's death.

I am in America and seems they never stopped dropping dead. Sorry to hear you are so far stuck in the past it was over 50 years ago but I guess that might mean your obituary is also just around the corner.

But Gilbert Gottfried died? Damn, that sucks. I actually watched his Gathering Of The Juggalos set.

The rest ... only vaguely familiar but I think at some point "comedy" was so overdone and every joke possible already told that it stopped being funny.

And I actually start my day with the obituaries so hitting Facebook and all the "RIP" posts with someone's picture starts to get exhausting. If someone does that too many times without any sort of personal anecdote I snooze 'em.

Very sad, a great artist. Love Whiter....Pale. RIP

He was (resting in peace) until this got started.........

Great songs from the 1960s. How was he with the Ringo band

J' en ai croisé des cons, mais lui c'était le ROI

J' en ai croisé des c.., mais lui c'était le ROI

Procol Harum was the first band I 'discovered' on my own in 1972 at age 12. Prior to that my gateway to music was a much older brother who loved the Stones, Beatles, Who, The Band, Dylan. Procol had lyrics that were often way outside the norm - definitely not the formula of boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl of 60s and early 70s pop. Musically, the Hammond organ and grand piano, with the occasional blues or soaring guitar sounds of Robin Trower (then Dave Ball and Mick Grabham) spoke to me. I prefer some of their 70s work (Like Exotic Birds and Fruit, or Grand Hotel) to some of the 1967-68 hit output. Gary Brooker seemed well-respected by other musicians of the era, playing with George Harrison and Clapton, Among others. He could definitely play a wide range. Even though Procol rarely drifted over to rock-n-roll, boogie-woogie, Brooker was at home playing it all. Clapton covered Whiter Shade of Pale at a gig on New Year's Eve. [youtu.be]
