I've been listening to Moody's Blues since the early 70s on WBLS. And this is the first time I've caught this performance. And he threw some scat on it too. Bucket list.
Got to see him do this on Dizzy's 75th birthday at the Blue Note from about 15 feet away through a veil of cigarette smoke. Maybe as close to heaven as I'm gonna get.
James moody! We have to let our young people listen to real music it will not hurt most of the music they listen to is crazy and loud I think nobody understands it they just love loud music
I was fortunate enough to be friends with Moody for overc20 years up until his passing. He was genuinely that nice. Not an act. My favorite song all time.
@Stuart Cooke Point of correction, Eddie Jefferson was the author of the lyrics of Moody's Mood For Love. it was first recorded by Clarence Beeks also known as King Pleasure
