Teilen
Die sanfte Stimme zu “Nights In White Satin“, das von einer akkuraten blonden Frisur umrahmte ebenmäßige Gesicht und ein Blick, der schmachtete: Justin Hayward - der am 14. Oktober 75 Jahre alt wurde - stellte als neuer Frontmann von The Moody Blues ab 1966 deren bisheriges Image als raue Blues-Band komplett auf den Kopf. Mit Hayward wurde es orchestral und pathetisch. Und der Erfolg kam. Moody Blues wurden eine vielseitige Band. Sie beherrschten die Klaviatur sensibler Balladen ebenso wie die der leichtfüßigen Pop-Songs und des anspruchsvollen Progressive Rock. Hayward ist ein hochprofessioneller Songwriter, aus dessen Feder einige der besten und erfolgreichsten Songs der Gruppe stammen. Seit Mitte der Siebziger betreibt Justin Hayward auch eine Solokarriere.
