A London appeals court has awarded the lead singer of Procol Harum sole royalty rights to the 1967 hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale" link here. It revoked an earlier ruling awarding 40 percent of the royalties to the group's organist for composing the organ theme, on the grounds that his claim was made too late. He had deferred making it, because he feared it would end his work with the group. It may be appealed to the House of Lords.
