Best known for penning the lyrics to “A Whiter Shade of Pale,” Keith Reid was a founding member of the English rock band Procol Harum and its sole lyricist through 2003. Reid’s position was an unusual one: he did not play or perform with them on stage or in the studio. Rather, he was an observer duringrecording sessions and performances, writing all of Procol Harum’s song lyrics with the exception ofthe 2017 album, Novum. Reidalso wrote for other musicians, including John Farnham’s 1986 hit, “You’re the Voice.”
