Gary Brooker

Sure takes guts to play this tune without an organ. And, yes, Herr Hagar can carry a tune. Imagine what David Lee Roth would have done to it. 

Kenny Aaronson is just too cool. Good taste in basses too, though not apparent in this particular vid.

Hagar can sing, IMO.  Not quite in Gary Brooker's league, though.  Brooker's death was a real loss to the music world.

One of the first Thunderbirds I saw in the flesh was Kenny's, when he was with Derringer. At that time, the pickguard was missing, though.

Bell bottom leathers rule!

Bell bottom leathers rule, but in my opinion look better on females.

That may be true.  But women seem to have a good track record in curvaceously filling out bell bottoms.

I'm sure Gary Brooker won't mind this:

I'm sure Gary Brooker won't mind this:

I'm sure he wouldn't mind.  Besides that, he has definitely been shown genuine respect here.  Ringo Starr, for instance, called "A Whiter Shade of Pale" the greatest song of the 60s.  It would be hard to say for sure, but I think I may agree with him.  Plus, Procol Harum had some other great songs, too.  I've mentioned it before, but Gary Brooker kept being impressive on into his 60s and 70s.  I made a post about that somewhere here several years ago. 

Here is a video I just found a few minutes ago.  A good summary.
