Something Magic

Something Magic, by Procol Harum, was released in 1977. Electing to work with producers Ron and Howie Albert when Leiber and Stoller (who had produced the band's preceding album) were not available, Procol Harum flew into Miami with more than enough material for their album. After the Alberts rejected more than five tracks and only having four songs to fill out the album, vocalist/composer/piano player Gary Brooker offered up the epic "The Worm and The Tree," a piece by lyricist Keith Reid that Brooker had been toying with on and off for several years Pete Solley – organ and synthesisers Chris Copping – bass guitar B.J. Wilson – drums Mick Grabham – guitar Gary Brooker – piano and vocals Keith Reid – lyrics
