Because of equipment delay’s the band and the orchestra only rehearsed the song once. The song's lyrics were written by Keith Reid, and its music was composed by Gary Brooker, who also sang. The trumpet solo is played by principal trumpet Ed Nixon. Conquistador" was the band's second highest charting single. It peaked at #16. Whiter Shade of Pale peaked at #5. Former bandmate/guitarist Robin Trower played on the original album version. 1972 Version lineup: #GaryBrooker – piano and vocals; Dave Ball – guitar; Chris Copping – organ; Alan Cartwright – bass guitar; B.J. Wilson – drums; Keith Reid – lyrics The band is noted for their baroque and classical influence. They made their live debut opening for Hendrix in 1967. In Canada this song gets more airplay than "Whiter Shade of Pale" due to 'Can-con' requirements -- radio stations must play a prescribed amount of Canadian-content on the air. My cover thoughts: That bass line played repeatedly throughout the solo/song is done a total of 29 times. I played about 24 of them right. The charts require the E to a drop D. I kept it EADG and just converted the few notes on the E.
