Matthew Fisher was the young genius composer who created the unforgettable intro to WSOP that MADE this an astounding "hit" in 1967 and forevermore.,,,,,,,,,Truly shameful he had to fight for his right to be co-writer of this song, Gary Brooker trying to deny Fisher his due honor and recognition ,,, Well, the Lords of the Court rightly and unaminously decided in Matthew Fisher's favor.
@DukeIrritable
Ай бұрын
Matthew was effectively playing as a session musician when the song was recorded - rather like George or Ringo playing a Lennon/McCartney song. The song wasn't composed in the studio. Gary Brooker had previously written the music (partly influenced, as he often said, by Bach's 'Air on the G String') and he played piano and sang the lead during the recording sessions. His long-term (and only) co-writer during this time, Keith Reed, wrote the lyrics. The understanding and expectation of non-writing musicians at that time in the UK and the US was that musical contributions (like riffs, fills, solos, chord inversions or other arrangement ideas) made during the recording of a song would be remunerated by a share in mechanical royalties (as performers on record sold to the public) or in accordance with a session contract, verbal or written. Otherwise, every musician playing in the studio during a recording could claim to be a co-writer, whether as a band member or session player. So it wasn't shameful of Gary Brooker to believe that Matthew's performance during the recording sessions was not a contribution to the actual composition of the music of the song. This was how everybody in the business understood the rights of band members and session musicians who contributed a good idea during a recording session. Gary's lawyers, who were not idiots, almost certainly advised him that Matthew's case was very weak. But there is a grey area, and room for legal argument, when a non-writer playing on a session adds a very significant musical element. What made the situation exceptional was that Matthew's melodic contribution was so extensive and important. He basically composed an exceptionally striking alternative melody for Gary Brooker's sung verse melody. He played 5 full solo verses, each with slight variations, one of which opened the song and one of which closed the song. In 2006 the trial judge, Justice Blackburne, found that Matthew's contribution was so extensive and important that he was entitled to receive 40% of the music royalties (which were 50% of the total composition royalties) from 2005 onwards. In 2008. the Court of Appeal disagreed. They accepted that Matthew had composed a significant part of the music, but held that he had lost his rights by failing to make his claim for nearly 40 years. In July 2008, the House of Lords (now called the Supreme Court) disagreed with the Court of Appeal on that issue, and basically reinstated the decision of Justice Blackburne. Sadly, Gary had to pay the legal costs, which were over a million pounds. He had to continue working as a gigging musician well into his 70s as a result. Matthew probably gained very little financial benefit from his win. The royalties on AWSOP since 2005 have probably been modest, thanks to the inequitably small royalties paid to composers by streaming companies. Matthew ultimately wrote a few good songs for Procul Harum and for a while was the band's producer. But it's putting it a bit high to call him a "genius composer". Gary Brooker wrote many more outstanding songs and was one of the UK's most admired rock vocalists - at least amongst musicians. Understandably, people like Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder are regarded by musicians as 'geniuses' of popular music - because they were utterly unique and original, exceptionally accomplished and unusually prolific. Matthew is better regarded as a fine musician and an innovative Hammond player. And he shared the glory of creating a fantastic, legendary recording.

On a Whiter Shade of Pale, the Leslie is not turned off and does not stop going around, but switched from "chorale" for the verse to "tremolo" for the chorus. The transition you quote is when the upper horn rotor slows from "tremolo" to "chorale" and the lower bass shutter rotor slows down slower. The Lower rotor takes time to spool up to speed and slow down. For a moment both rotors are out of phase and time.

There are lots of Whiter Shade Of Pale keyboard covers on KZitem, many of them quite good, but this one NAILED IT TO THE WALL. Your video has become part of my permanent Favorites folder. Laurens Hammond must have been aware of the potentially enormous improvement in tonal accuracy by using power grid 60Hz as the reference frequency for an organ, via the tonewheel induction motor spinning in lockstep with it, but did he fully foresee the sheer concentrated musical soul that would be unleashed with that insane genius arrangement of slotted disks and pickup coils in collusion with rotating Leslie horns?

I had the good fortune to find a busted-beyond-resurrection L102 at a thrift store for almost free, and sometimes wish I'd kept the tone generator to experiment with after I retired. Seems like the one component where the only thing that can fail are motor-start capacitors... if it even had any... and of course the rotor bearing lube that eventually turns into cheese. Opening that thing up and realizing that it operated on the same physics as an electric guitar was quite an epiphany, having grown up with so much sixties & seventies pop.

Hi, Just read the comments, everybody is totally blown away by this super accurate arrangement, me also. As an amateur organ player it's really strange because it's not a difficult tune to play. (key C, all white notes). Despite that, Rein is a master of the keyboards. A joy to listen to. Chris

So beautiful. You make it look so easy, especially the gliss. Even the most high tech synthesizer cannot capture the sound of the Hammond. Excellent performance. A million thumbs up.

Whoooa.. childhood song for me.. so many memories emotions and feelings just swallowed me listening to this beautiful piece.. I haven't heard it so accurately played by anyone else. Honestly sounds exactly like the studio edit.. A trip down memory lane for me, so much beauty relived, Thank you, Sincerely.

Dude--you absolutely nailed it. To me this has to be the most classic organ part in any pop or rock song in the last half a century or more. I listened to a lot of Bach in my life and I would put this in that quality of music. That's just my opinion, but I really would. Marc Trainor

Listen to the Aria of Bach ! You will hear nearly the same notes, A whiter shade of pale being a simplification of the original. But Bach maybe wouldn't have denied this version which sounds even better !

Amo essa música. Sempre fico comovida quando ouço. Tenho lembranças maravilhosas. As vezes choro de emoção. A Whiter Shade of Pale( Um tom mais claro de palidez. Ouvir vc tocando levou-me a uma viagem no tempo. Quando ouvia tinha 13 anos.

I've always loved this song for the organ part (who doesn't) and was one of those tunes that inspired me to want to play the organ and in my opinion yours is the absolute best version I have ever heard and in some ways better than the original due to your cool chord phrasings and your incredibly effective use of the Leslie speaker system (you are a real pro) seemlessly incorporated at just the right time (not an easy feat) puts this off the charts and as a Hammond lover this is entering hammond dreamland! Thanks!

EVER, EVER....We were two young people listening to this music in loop. My "first love " for few months in Galveston, Texas. i found her 50 years later, ENBELIEAVABLE ....as beautiful as she was 17, waiting her aircraft at the Paris's airport few yards 20 away front me... .it was my most intense moment of my life, Ever ever .....she left without talking to me but but send me a hidden kiss and leave her scarf hooked on the chair front of me. I ran as far as i can to grab it . i breathed it ! Everything came on me all days and nights. It was the same fragance when i met her at 17 for both ! i will give a lot to get her back..... but i already knew it was not possible because i will die soon ! Thank you to that woman who made me a man and lover. By-By, your French lover for Ever, Ever.

We skipped the light fandango And turned cartwheels across the floor I was feeling kind of seasick The crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away Whe we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale She said there is no reason And the truth is plain to see But I wandered through my playing cards Would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast At the moment my eyes were open They might just as well have been closed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale
