The Moody Blues were a seminal influence in classical/progressive rock music when they released their major opus, "Nights in White Satin", in 1967.
While this concept record sold reasonably well, reaching #27 on the UK music charts, the "Days of Future Passed" music would keep gaining airplay and fans steadily until five years later, in 1972, it peaked at #3 on the US Billboard charts.
The music of the Moodies has been playing like a soundtrack throughout my life, and I am sure some of their songs will make it into my funeral. I love that the Moody Blues music and lyrics are frequently beautiful, thoughtful, and melancholic.
The group in various incarnations continues to tour all these decades later. I never miss a Moody Blues show if I can - always a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Please enjoy the music in the background as you continue about your routine (get comfortable, because some of their songs are long)...
