Procol Harum – Discografia

PROCOL HARUM

BIOGRAFIA

Procol Harum é uma banda britânica de rock progressivo formada no início dos anos 60. Eles são mais conhecidos por seu compacto "A Whiter Shade of Pale", número um nas paradas de sucesso inglesas.

Formada das cinzas de um grupo chamado "Paramounts" liderado por Gary Brooker e Robin Trower, a estréia ao vivo do Procol foi abrindo um concerto de Jimi Hendrix em 1967, o que levou a recém-lançanda "A Whiter Shade of Pale" ao topo das paradas. Um LP e outros compactos seguiram-se, mas sem alcançar o sucesso daquela primeira gravação.

Durante os anos 70 o Procol Harum permaneceu mais popular do que outras bandas de rock progressivo mais sofisticadas, como Emerson, Lake & Palmer. O grupo continuou apesar das diversas mudanças na formação, mas o declínio das vendas decretou o fim do Procol em 1977.

A banda reuniu-se em 1991 para o lançamento de Prodigal Stranger, que não obteve muita repercussão. Uma nova encarnação do Procol, liderada por Brooker, está na estrada em turnê pelos EUA desde 1992.

O nome da banda foi escolhido por seu empresário, inspirado no nome do gato de um amigo seu. Traduzido do latim, significa algo como "Através dessas coisas".

O asteróide 14024 Procol Harum tem esse nome em homenagem à banda.

Recentemente, a justiça do Reino Unido concedeu ao tecladista da banda, Matthew Fisher, 40% da autoria de "A Whiter Shade of Pale". A alegação de Fisher para o pedido é o refrão e o solo de órgão da canção, os quais estão entre seus elementos mais distintivos. O juiz do caso disse que a contribuição do organista foi "substancial", embora não tão grande quanto a contribuição do cantor
