Procol Harum

Procol Harum, a British rock band formed in 1967, gained fame with their debut single "A Whiter Shade of Pale," which topped charts worldwide. Their fusion of rock, classical, and blues elements characterized their sound, and they continued to release successful albums throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. The band's lineup underwent changes over the years, but they maintained a devoted following with their distinctively poetic lyrics and innovative musical arrangements. Despite lineup changes and periods of inactivity, Procol Harum remained influential in the progressive rock genre and continued to perform and record sporadically into the 21st century.
