Ray Thomas has left the building, the end of an era draws a little closer.

Very sad to lose another talented musician.

I remember borrroiwng the first half-dozen albums from a friend at college and being utterly unable to see anything apealing in their music at all!

Apart from Go Now - which is not their song, and Knights In White Satin, which is one of my all-time favourite records, the appeal of the Moody Blues joins that of bands like Coldplay, Blur, Elbow, Jethro Tull, and so on, in being an alien concept to my ears.

Sad to hear about Ray.

Saw them live at the Festival Hall in London about 35 or more years ago.

>>Knights In White Satin

It is NIGHTS in White Satin.

I love their albums, some wonderful songs dotted around what are called the "super 7" albums (from Days of future passed to Seventh Sojourn)

This song, Out and In, came from their "space" album "To our Children's Children's Children.

Tell me you don't like this with the wonderful melletron

[Guilbert53]

And from the same album the song "Watching and Waiting".

Read some of the comments to these videos to see how much to Moodies meant to people.

[Guilbert53]

Of course some people think "Nights in White Satin" (1967) was heavily borrowed from the song by Love called Signed DC (1966).

DC was the initials of a person the writer knew who died from a drug overdose.
