Nights In White Satin - The Moody Blues

In 1970 the Moody Blues were art their creative and commercial peak. After reinventing themselves from their R & B roots to a much more sophisticated sound, between 1967 and 1970 they released five albums, four of which hits top 5 in the UK, with two of them going #1.

They enjoyed similar success in the US where four of their albums hit the top 20 and the other was just outside.

At the end of August 1970, shortly after their release of their album 'A Question of Balance', The Moody Blues took to the stage of the Isle Of Wight Festival in front of an audience estimated at over 1/2 million.
