Best song ever! Who's listening in 2024? I'm 66yrs old and heard this song 🎵 way back when rock n roll was at it's peak..

[gaylecole]

The great Gary Brooker. What a voice!

[StephanieJeanne]

As much as I loved this song from the live album back in 1972, I'm thinking it's even more meaningful to me now, more than 50 years later. Great vocals and instrumentation. I would urge anyone to watch this entire episode from London. It was magnificent.

It's such a treat to hear this song from yesteryear!!! Takes me back to when I was a kid...though I hope for...! 🤙💯

Brookers voice never changed in his career! Astonishing!
I love the way procol used the piano and the organ at the same time!

B.J. Wilson was a criminally underrated drummer. The guy was right up there with any drummer of his time.

[ArcaneWeasel]

That voice and music is hauntingly magical that needs to be on continual loop forever. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE 21ST CENTURY !

I always loved this song when it played on the radio back in 1973 and 1974 during the summer while we were out on our boat in the San Juan Islands here in Washington State.

Love Procol Harem since I was 14 years old. I still enjoy listening to them at the age of 68!

[nancystanton]

Oh, marvelous!😊
I had this on 45 originally. I played it and the flip side, 'Salty Dog' so much the 45 gave up the ghost so I bought th LP. It's great to hear this again.

[sofaking]

I was at vintage record store a couple of years ago when I saw a whippersnapper who was about 20 holding an A Salty Dog album. I said to him "buy it; you can thank me later." He did. I was proud to give him advice on good music.

[shemanic]

Superb music, at 73 I realise I have had a life filled with some amazing music.

[timothyparsons]

Love this song… it’s a favourite when I’m on a bus or train and Procol Harum songs are going through my head. If you’re in the right key you can sense the bass, and harmony coming from vocals or other instruments…pure bliss!

Check out their live version from 2006 in Denmark with the Danish National Orchestra. A brilliant performance. Gary's voice just got better and better with age.
