A Whiter Shade of Pale arranged for Hammond Organ

[Roger Memphis]

This is the best video on Youtube to see what Matthew Fisher is doing with his fingers.

After releasing the E key Matthew Fisher goes next to the C key,then B key, then G key and slides his finger off the black key onto the A key. This is at 7:20 in the video. Does anyone else do the same? I've seen some use the C key, then the G key, then the F key and then slide off the black key onto the A key. You can see what he does clearly in this video:

Yes, this an old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one.

Here is a wonderful arrangement played back in 2006 by organ and piano teacher Rein de Jong:

My childhood remembered - that and Je T'aime.

Thank you! Memories of summer at the seaside with pirate radio on a tiny transistor radio. Maybe something missing?
There's a super biopic called Gainsbourg - the Je T'aime section is very funny.

Thank you for the Procol Harem music transcription. I like it , I've played the tune by ear for years but was missing some of the sweet parts, like the third stanza, the organ plays a counter-point melody to the vocal line, love-it.

Alright.
So, last week, I'm on Spotify, looking for music that's Hammond organ centric.
I stumbled on this list..."Hammond organ orgy"...and, in this playlist, I found some interesting stuff.

"Je t'aime moi non plus" was in this songlist.

I'm not much for listening to my porn while driving, though I typically would prefer to be in the mood before it started. Totally caught me off guard. Good thing I was listening to it with the AirPods, and not in the car's speakers, with them blaring it out at a stoplight while I wait for the light to change. 🤣🤣🤣
