The 60’s rockers are in their late 70’s now by the most part. Tough lifestyles means the chances of living into your 80’s is tough. Which means the Grammies recognitions of those who passed on will become like a Hall of Fame List.

Oh, no. Great voice; great band.
When I was overseas I played “Whiter Shade of Pale” over and over and over again, until the tape became too stretched (cassette tape), and was unplayable. Later, I picked up the album, and wore that out. I also wore out “Conquistador.”
RIP Mr. Booker. You mellowed out this young man when he needed it most.

My favorite was “Salty Dog.”
To: Noumenon
“A Salty Dog” was actually my favorite PH song. I think it was included on a Kasey Kasem “British Invasion” collection.

“One of my favorite bands and songs — “Whiter Shade of Pale”— from the 60s.”
Good tenor voice, a lot of musicians have found it hard to sing, I suffered through some that tried.

Please don’t remind me. At 72, with 7 co-morbidities, it’s coming faster that I’d like it to happen.
