The Moody Blues aren't my thing, but he was clearly a talented musician. Nights in White Satin isn't just a great track, it's a work of art.

RIP sir.

You're right Hayward did write it, I was just making a general point about the song - Pinder was in the band when they recorded it though.

Pinder was a great musician, like yourself I am not the Moodys greatest fan, but some of the early stuff they did was good, a lot of people think Denny Laine wrote " Go Now" it was actually performed by a woman called Bessie Banks written by Larry Banks , must admit though Denny Laine did a great version.

Mine neither, but I salute him. Good local talent and 82 is a decent age for a musician, with all that road work.
