Born on this day ...

[Ruby]

Justin Hayward was born on this day in 1946 in Wiltshire, England. Lead vocalist, guitarist and unbelievably prolific composer for the fabulous Moody Blues; of course he’s also done solo and other work. I’m slightly surprised that he hasn’t been handed an OBE or something similar yet! Then again, the Moody Blues have been inexplicably excluded from all sorts of music industry accolades, although in fairness, Hayward has been the recipient of a handful of awards for songwriting by one or two organisations.

Never mind, I expect he will be forever remembered for “Nights in White Satin” (if the nearly 34 million views of this clip are anything to go by!) -

No frills here – solo unplugged - the man can most definitely sing …one of my favs - "Tuesday Afternoon"[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms2jOVOT3pI"]

And there’s no stopping him. A recently reinvented video for a song that is on 1971’s Every Good Boy Deserves Favour –
