BBC Radio 4

Frank Stroupe #5903 How about beginning with: With the sound ranging from the reverberations of a somber, majestic pipe organ in a cathedral, to that of a snarling, growling, gurgling, rock and roll animal, the Hammond organ found in Procol Harem's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" contributes infinitely to making this song a rock anthem. The many swirling sounds that come from the Hammond, coupled with the Leslie Amplifier, cannot really be described in words, but must be heard, and felt. Or something like that. Frank Stroupe toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- > Alan Hall (BBC Radio 4) just called. He has a 20 minute program going out at the end of March about The Hammond Organ and the Song "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Gary Brooker will be on (pity Matthew Fisher wont be) Alan asked me to explain what it is about the Hammond Organ- to quote- 'that swirling sound' that makes this track so special. Here is the catch..I have two to three minutes to do it in. If you have any ideas how to concisely define the Hammond Sound in the context of "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" I would be realy gratefull of any ideas. I don't think I am the best choice realy, but I have a few ideas.
