Not exactly in the class of The Beatles or The Stones but A Whiter Shade of Pale is an all-time all-time classic. Sometimes you only get one of those in a career. And sometimes one is enough. RIP.

The entire album was phenomena though.

I was always surprised it wasn’t in our top 100 albums of all time.

They had some other good songs. Simple Sister; Shine on Brightly. They also had a hit in the early 70s with Conquistador, which they pronounced Conkwistador.

Well said.
It was perhaps the greatest of all-time, IMO.
