PeterRS Posted June 12 Posted June 12 In my youth I only purchased a handful of pop singles and LPs. The Beatles, the Stones, Procul Harem's "Grand Hotel" - the LP purchased solely for their massive hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale" but I soon came to love every song on that album - and of course The Beach Boys. Their songs illuminated the sun and fun of the great California outdoors, such a contrast to what felt like still drab Britain beyond swinging London. RIP Quote
a-447 Posted June 12 Posted June 12 I last saw him perform at a Royal Command concert in front of Queen Elizabeth. He looked terrible and didn't seem to know where he was. He had no idea how to address the Queen, so he introduced his song saying: 'This is for you.....queenie'. Oh, dear! Quote
