In between he released this nice little undiscovered gem of a song.

So happy for you eastforker. My Hub is high risk (his father had it) and they don’t do his yearly blood work in the past couple of years (PSA?) due to it being a slow growing cancer.
Ray wrote Legend of a mind, about Timothy Leary. Great tune! RIP
Love it. Nothing comes close........
He’s still on the outside. Looking in.
Thanks for the music.Rest in peace.
Wow,I just remember his solo career!
funny- i watched all 15 parts of that lawsuit on youtube this summer...everybody, including the judge, thought Moraz was out of his mind but the jury found in his favor- i think he won $77,000 after initially turning down more than $3 million the Moodies had offered him...
and i would disagree- there are few albums in general which compare to Seventh Sojourn...
Rest in peace.
Ray Thomas was THE founder of the Moody Blues. He kept them going through some lean times and personnel changes. His most famous song was Legend of a Mind (Timothy Leary).
There was a thread on the Mellotron today where I mentioned the Moody Blues.
Hayward himself has said that he began to write it after a girlfriend broke up with him, in which case white satin would refer to sheets, I suppose. That sort of ordinary explanation doesn’t quite live up to the very memorable, atmospheric and yes moody sound of the song, which really defined the Moody Blues. “Nights In White Satin” was really the genesis of the band’s musical style.
I have a friend who had it about 8 years ago and the docs declared it cured. Just found out it came back and got into his spine . Happened within 3 months.
“If there’s a rock & roll heaven, you know they have a helluva band.”
RIP & thanks for all the great music.
True, you can last for decades with prostate cancer, but if you get it at a younger age (in your fifties or early sixties) it can be extremely aggressive and deadly.
But like everything, someone can still be claimed by it even if caught in time.
In this case, it may have not been the cancer itself, but some side effect of treatment, or other existing conditions.
Glad you beat it, eastforker...

Cancer is a *itch, don’t believe anyone who every tells you it’s “cured.” Kept at bay is more accurate and it’ll always be a risk for coming back.
I've always been an oddball about my music preferences. For example, my favorite Led Zeppelin album (by far) is "In Through The Out Door" which many Zep fans consider their worst (or at least tied with "Presence"). My favorite Stones album is "Some Girls" and "Blood On The Tracks" is my favorite of Dylan.
I guess it was because I came of age in the late 1970s so missed out on a lot of these bands when they were in their prime.
Moraz also replaced Rick Wakeman in Yes.
