RiP. Just read on Wikipedia that his father, Harry Brooker was a professional pedal steel guitar player.

Sad to hear, I saw him 20 some years ago with Bill Wyman and the Rhythym Kings in NYC. One of Bill's few tours. Albert Lee was there too.

RIP Gary

Since it wasn't mentioned, he was the leader and founder of the English rock group Procol Harum.

Among their hits were:
A Whiter Shade of Pale
Conquistador

Among the people to pass through the band was rock/blues guitarist Robin Trower.

This is sad news indeed. Even late in his career he still had so much soul.....
