Conquistador (Procol Harum song)
"Conquistador" is a song by the British psychedelic rock band Procol Harum. Written by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid, it originally appeared on the band's 1967 self-titled debut album. It was later released as a single from the band's 1972 live album ''Procol Harum Live In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra''. It is one of the band's most famous and popular songs and their third Top 40 hit on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 (after 1967's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Homburg"), peaking at number 16.
==Background and composition==
The song's lyrics were written by Keith Reid and its music was written by Gary Brooker, who also sang. It was featured on the band's 1967 album, ''Procol Harum''. The song is unusual in that the music was written before the lyrics; according to Reid, "99 out of 100 of those Procol Harum songs were written the words first, and then were set to music." He explained that Brooker had written a piece of Spanish-flavored music before the band had officially formed, and Reid decided to write lyrics about a conquistador.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Conquistador by Procol Harum )〕 In August 1971, Procol Harum was invited to perform with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in Edmonton, Alberta. "Conquistador" was added to the set with little time to spare, and the orchestra had no time to rehearse. Nonetheless, they began the concert with the song, and the concert was captured on the album ''Procol Harum Live In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra'', of which "Conquistador" was the lead single.
