No music lover can ever miss this fabulous song of the 60s by this uniquely named group.... Heres what we know about the unusual name according to Wikipedia ....In April 1967, Brooker began working as a singer-songwriter and formed Procol Harum with non-Paramounts Keith Reid (poet), Hammond organist Matthew Fisher, guitarist Ray Royer and bassist David Knights.[4] Guy Stevens, their original manager, named the band after a friends Burmese cat.[5] The cats Cat Fancy name was Procul Harun, Procul being the breeders prefix.[6] In the absence of a definitive origin, the name attracted various interpretations,[7] being said to be Latin for beyond these things (but the correct Latin translation of beyond these things is Procul His[8]), or translated as of these far off things, the genitive plural harum perhaps agreeing with an understood rerum, things.[9] The name of the band is frequently misspelled; often with Procul, Harem, both, or other variations.In April 1967, Brooker began working as a singer-songwriter and formed Procol Harum with non-Paramounts Keith Reid (poet), Hammond organist Matthew Fisher, guitarist Ray Royer and bassist David Knights.[4] Guy Stevens, their original manager, named the band after a friends Burmese cat.[5] The cats Cat Fancy name was Procul Harun, Procul being the breeders prefix.[6] youtu.be/Mb3iPP-tHdA
