Friday on my Mind 225: Go Now, and 226: Say You Don’t Mind – RIP Denny Laine

During the week came the news that Denny Laine, first singer with The Moody Blues, the voice of number 1 hit Go Now, has gone.

The Moody Blues: Go Now

Laine later became a founder member of Wings,  As co-writer of Mull of Kintyre (with Paul McCartney) he had a bigger selling single than any the Beatles had.

In between The Moody Blues and his stint with Wings he was briefly in various other bands and found time to release two singles under his own name of which the song below was one I liked from first hearing his version. It wasn’t a hit for Denny but in 1972 became one for Colin Blunstone.
