He was lead singer for Procol Harum, the group whose single “A Whiter Shade Of Pale has been honored in the singles category of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He died of cancer last month, aged 76. He would have turned 77 in May. There’s not much I can say about the man that hasn’t already been said. He was charitable and talented beyond belief. I hope he rests in the Lord’s arms for sharing his gifts to the world. His music and singing will live forever. The world seems a bit darker to me. The sky has one less star. Rest in peace, Gary.
This live performance of a lifetime was from Denmark in 2006. I still get goosebumps every time I play it.
