A whiter shade of cheek

Thirty nine or forty years ago Matthew Fisher wrote an organ riff or so he claims. Now he suddenly works out that it should have been worth a lot of money so Mr. Fisher, the former keyboardist for Procul Harem is suing two other former band members, Gary Brooker and Keith Reid, who are credited as the songwriters for Whiter Shade of Pale.

Did the drugs just wear off? Did he just marry a lawyer? Did he finally squander his inheritance? What was the trigger after four decades?

What do you reckon his chances are?
