The former keyboard player from rock band Procol Harum  today (Dec. 20) won a share of future earnings from seminal 1967 hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale," which has sold around 10 million copies worldwide.
In a written ruling at London's High Court, Judge William Blackburne said Matthew Fisher should get 40 percent of the copyright of the song. Fisher argued that he wrote the organ music to the song and so was entitled to joint authorship of the track alongside lead singer Gary Brooker, who is credited with its copyright.
