'A Whiter Shade of Pale' is UK's Most Heard Song

London, April 14 (ANI): Procol Harum's 1967 classic 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' has been named Britain's most-heard song in public places over the last 75 years.

Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was second, while The Everly Brothers' 'All I Have To Do Is Dream' came third in a chart released by Phonographic Performance Limited, which licenses recorded music for broadcast or public performance, to mark its 75th anniversary.

Wet Wet Wet's version of 'Love Is All Around' was at number four and Bryan Adams' '(Everything I Do) I Do It For You' rounded off the top five.

Procol Harum frontman Gary Brooker said topping the chart was a 'great and unsought honour'.

"It isn't something I could have remotely imagined when I wrote the song and then made that legendary recording with Procol Harum all those years ago," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

"Every musician and singer hopes to reach out and communicate to the audience, so it means a great deal that the record has such an indefinable popularity and lasting appeal," he added.

The top ten are:

1. Procol Harum A Whiter Shade Of Pale

2. Queen Bohemian Rhapsody

3. Everly Brothers All I Have To Do Is Dream

4. Wet Wet Wet Love Is All Around

5. Bryan Adams (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
