A damp Monday dawns in these parts, the detritus of the weekend still waiting to be cleared away. Managed a movie (Lady Bird, excellent) a curry (chicken balti, splendid) and a surprising amount of Procol Harem (lots of air-conducting). At the far recesses of my memory I recall seeing them on Top of the Pops with swirly effects and flower power shirts. Gary Brooker is on the show today so I’ve been listening to their ‘Still There’ll Be More’ anthology which takes in 1967-2017 and trying to imagine what its like to have a hit like Whiter Shade of Pale as your debut. That’s going to turn your head isn’t it? Gary and his box set from 6.
And I think a SOUL playlist is needed as Trevor Nelson airs a new series tonight ‘Six Decades of British Soul’. Your finest soul (or soul-related) songs please!
