Last of the original Moody Blues, one of the symbols of my youth.
Sad news indeed. RIP Mike.
Had been living with dementia for the last few years.
RIP Sir
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.
kevb8llPinder 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.gerry1875kevb8llwas written by Justin Hayward, was a great song though, Mike Pinder was Erdington born, yet another Brummie legend gone ..RIPThe Moody Blues aren't my thing, but he was clearly a talented musician.

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