I got to see them play live together at the City Varieties in Leeds and it was absolutely magical. The perfect combination of artists and venue. He looked cool as fuck too.

Never saw them live, but agreed on the album, one of my absolute favourites. On paper you'd never imagine it working, in execution it was absolutely perfect, like an indie/grunge rock Lee and Nancy.
Paid Members theironshake Posted February 22, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 22, 2022 Gary Brooker the lead singer of Procol Harum. Has died from cancer aged 76. Just a fantastic voice. His Vocal on 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' is one of the great vocal performances of the 60s.
Keith Houchen Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Derek The Draw, former minder of Ian Dury and singer with The Blockheads since Ian died also passed on a few days ago. I’ve seen The Blockheads loads over the years and Del was a wonderfully understated frontman who let the words and music do the talking.

Their rendition of A White Shade Of Pale in Denmark is up there as one of the most anthemic music performances ever.

I didn't know much about him before watching it but he was absolutely fascinating and infuriating in equal measures. Quite the character.
