Procol Harum - Procol Harum (1967)
"PROCOL HARUM came out of the ashes from a band called the PARAMOUNTS that had its roots back in 59 (!!) and had split in early 66. Gary Brooker meet lyricist Keith Reid and began writing songs and by 1967, it became clear that they would need the help from their old colleagues from PARAMOUNTS days to form their new band to be called PROCOL HARUM. They developed a really new sound with two KB (piano for Brooker and Hammond organ for Fisher) and a guitarist extraordinaire called Robin Trower who was greatly influenced by JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE. They quickly became one of the precursor of PROGRESSIVE ROCK (along the MOODY BLUES and The NICE) and mixed in some CLASSICAL influences (BACH in “Whiter Shade of Pale”) and sold millions of singles but also albums." - ProgArchives
