Ray Thomas was born on this day in 1941, in Stourport-on-Severn, England. He may well be the original rock n roll flautist! A founding member of the Moody Blues and singer/songwriter with the band as well as playing that heavy metal instrument and a couple more besides - piccolo, oboe, harmonica and saxophone.
He seems to have co-written most successfully with Justin Hayward and was responsible for originating some lovely psychedelic sounding songs in the earlier days. He also released two solo albums, but they definitely worked better together as a group than individually, methinks; personal preference of course - I'm not sold on those solos.
