Procol Harum - Voice Your Choice

Procol Harum were formed in England with lead singer Gary Brooker, poet Keith Reid, organist Matthew Fisher, guitarist Ray Royer, and David Knights on bass. In May of 1967 they went into the studio and recorded A Whiter Shade Of Pale, with its Baroque music influence. It shot up the charts to Number One on the UK Singles chart, Number One in Canada and Australia, and Number Five in the United States. Pretty darn good debut!

They recorded several albums, which became staples of the then-new FM underground sound. Over the years they scored other hit singles and this week we have two of them for your votes.

Treasure Island Oldies is pleased to present Procol Harum in the Voice Your Choice spotlight. Cast your vote for either Homburg or Conquistador.

As next week is the 21st Annual Halloween Spooktacular on Treasure Island Oldies, I will play the results of Voice Your Choice on the show on Sunday, November 5th.
