Mar 16, 2009 - you don't know what you are talking about. Jimi Hendrix played with Curtis Knight, NOT King Curtis--EVER

Mar 26, 2009 - King Curtis did an absolutely gorgeous cover of Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" which appeared on the soundtrack of the film "Withnail & I" (it's over the credits and opening shot)... is there any video of him doing this song? It's just such a beautiful version.

McGarVision Says:

Mar 27, 2009 - no video of that song exists
