The Moody Blues was formed in May of 1964. During the years 1965-1967, they focused primarily on R&B, their most famous single being “Go Now,” which reached number one on the charts in both the U.S. and Great Britain. In 1966, they abandoned the old R&B and in 1967 recorded music from a stage show they had been performing, which became their most famous album, Days of Future Passed. The album remained on Billboard charts a full two years after its release. During the years 1967-1972, they recorded seven very successful albums, all of which went gold. In 1978, the band recorded Octave, its eighth album. With the release of Long Distance Voyager in 1981, the band could not be ignored. The single “The Voice” did very well. In 1993, the band released a live album, A Night at Red Rocks, which was recorded with a full symphony orchestra. The band released their boxed set, Time Traveler, on September 27, 1994. The band continues to perform and draw raves from their legions of devotees.
