Poco Harem??
I assume you mean Procol Harem, of "Whiter Shade of Pale" fame...? (British band from the 60's...still goin today?)
If thats the case...they've had a BUNCH of different musicians. Depends on whether you want the name of the recording organist, or the live organist.
These are the ones you hear on record...
Chris Copping played on Home, Broken Barricades, Live with Edmonton Symphony, Grand Hotel, Exotic Birds and Fruit, and Procols Ninth.
Matthew Fisher played on A Whiter Shade of Pale, Procol Harum, Shine on Brightly, A Salty Dog, The Prodigal Stranger, One More Time, and The Wells on Fire.
Pete Solley played on Something Magic. Organs and synths...
Funny, I was just sampling some of this the other night....

That's the right group. I was close. I saw them on tv last night and I thought I heard someone say Elvin Bishop on keyboards, so I wondered if that was where he got started. I thought Christian might know too. He remembers all that stuff.

Yeah, coulda been...but keyboards and organ are two different things. They used Hammond organs extensively, if I remember correctly. They used synths as well...so there would be several guys playing "keys" sometimes...
