“I’ve always rejected the idea of labeling groups or types of music,” “I don’t think Procol has ever fit into a particular pigeonhole, as we call them here, you know, in the filing cabinet. You don’t really know what to put them under.

My heart goes out to his wondrous wife, Franky.RIP Gary Brooker.I was in love with Procol Harum from the moment I heard them.Gary was a genius and along with miraculous lyricist, Keith Reid, their work is heavenly.Their friendship was a dream to me.
