From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Procol Harum (/ËproÊkÉl ËhÉËrÉm/) are an English rock band formed in 1967. They contributed to the development of progressive rock, and by extension, symphonic rock. Their best-known recording is their 1967 hit single "A Whiter Shade of Pale", which is considered a classic of popular music and is one of the few singles to have sold over 10 million copies.[1] Although noted for its baroque and classical influence, Procol Harum's music also embraces the blues, R&B and soul.
In October 2012, the band was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[2]
