i purchased this album at a garage sale when I was 13. I soon became my very favorite . I still have it. I am going to try to find it on disc. Just love every song. It brings back so many great memories.

Thanks for posting it, Oscar.  I had this album many years ago and lost it.

[Psyche777able]

in Vietnam.

[masquenada8]

great job, thanx.

[jhyden1012]

What a wonderful time in our lives............I still have my album! This is the all time best for me and my husband....those were the days!

[Smacks41]

Still have my original Realization album. Was one of my favorite Johnny Rivers albums, and was blown away by his version of Whiter Shade of Pale.

[BadErnest]

One of the great voices of the 20th century...and I love the piano intro

[BemisCM]

LOVE Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale..........however, this version of the song is my all time favorite - the LP REALIZATION IS A MASTERPIECE, Thank You Johnny Rivers.

[jab353]

With out doubt, from the drums and the Hammond to the 'focused emotion' of JR's expression, this has to be the absolute best cover of any song of the sixties! If I only had a dollar for every time my turn table spun that 'Realization' record......

[49kasey]

He really does a great job on this except for that one weak falsetto note. The drummer slips a bit but it's not an easy song to pull off right. There's something about it all that works for me.

[CLAYTONUMB]

MUSICA MARAVILHOSA !!!

[dllewiszz]

Johnny says this is his own favorite LP project. It is indeed his very best.

[jotace51]

Wow! Breathless... great song, great performer. Thanks for posting it!

[Jakeonator5252]

I like this version much better too! Thanks so much!!

[PATYRODRIGUES1]

sem duvidas uma musica maravilhosa

[oscar120153]

Thank you!

[charbrooks07]

Procol's version is MUCH better - more mystical, more intriguing. That said, Rivers sounds good, too - he's very talented and versatile.

[alepalazzi25]

musica que esta mencionada no livro ¨CHUVA DE NOVEMBRO¨ uma dica de um ótimo livro ;)

[ocsdct]

I've been looking for this version in youtube for years, thank you very much for posting it! I agree with you. Apart from Bach's original theme, this is the best version I've listened to...

[krankidaviejak]

bullshit.

rivers is better.

[bebbeq]

procol harums versin is eay better. their singer is much better than johnny rivers and the organ is much better in the old version. I dont se why he even decided to record this version. he takes a good song makes it worse and then tries to take cred for the song.

[littlebigbrain]

You do not even know what you are talking about. Johnny Rivers voice is a far better voice and anyhow the music was nicked from a classical source. the arrangement on this is superior to the 'original'. The whole album Realization is the 60s in a nutshell and is one of the greatest albums of any era. So stop winging shut your eyes and drift away.

[dalferr]

Saudade... I miss you!

[ricardoslbr]

Fantastic!!!!

[betopalaio]

Indeed, it´s the niciest version of whiter shade of pale...

[guardianhorse]

Thanks for posting this! I've been looking for it for awhile. To me this is the best but least known version of the song.

[folkmusicgirl]

Saw Johnny Rivers many years ago now in a club in Lakewood, California. What a hughly taltented man! I love this version Johnny covered of Whiter Shade of Pale, such a great song, such memories of days of being very young and a time of incredible music. It seems like a million miles away and a world that is sooooo different in every way now from those days of the 60's.

[magnusdering]

when the hammond tunes in....wow....

[magnusdering]

Thanks... been looking years for this

all the best

[Psychelmer]

I had this album -- Am I remembering wrong or is there also a great version of "Hey Joe" on it too? If so PLEASE PLEASE post it-- I used to love it and I think it was Johnny Rivers' version on this album that I liked best!

[oscar120153]

Coming soon!

[dreamaker12]

thank you very much this is a classic and a favorite of our family

[Tierian]

Always loved this and owned the album. My brother liked Silent Night 7O'Clock News from this album. I am so glad you posted this.

[oscar120153]

Thanks!

[Lidiafern]

Oscar, uma música dessa, não precisa de imagens...

[laurianni]

Fantastic song. I really love this version, and appreciate that you posted this. Great job!

[Toyboy789]

I agree, Oscar! A wonderful version. Every bit as good - if not better - that Procol's version! Johnny River's voice has always amazed me. Great post, man!
