The Moody Blues are an English rock band, perhaps most famous for the international mega-hits Knights in White Satin and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.
Among numerous innovations was a fusion with classical music, most notably on 1967 album Days of Future Passed- inspiring others such as ELO to do the same. And The Moody Blues are a towering commercial success, selling in excess of 50 million albums worldwide while being awarded 14 platinum and gold discs. Today -in 2010- they remain active.
I myself saw the band play outdoors in 1979, in the midst of a commercial comeback... great show, one of those greats you feel blessed to have seen at least somewhere near their prime...
