Hi Chris. Checked out your blog. It was fantastic.
Think you might have your wires crossed on the Moody Blues though. The Nights in White Satin Album may have out later than you mentioned. The Moody Blues did have a no.1 hit in 1964, and I understand it sold 6 million copies, and that was a bucket load of singles in those days. It was “Go now” and had an R and B feel about it. Like your work Chris.
