Thread Name: Bach or Procul Harum?
Subject: Bach or Procul Harum?
I read where a judge in England just granted the organist for Produl Harum a piece of the songwriting rights to "A Whiter Shade of Pale." The ruling was based on the song's organ solo which is distinctive, all right, but wasn't it appropriated from J.S. Bach? Or is my memory worse than I fear?
