Melancholy Man

by Dave Weller

Mike Pinder pass away on April 24th. He was a founding member and the original keyboard player of the rock group the Moody Blues. 

My favorite Moody Blues song has always been Melancholy Man, a song written by Pinder that was first released on their 1970 album A Question of Balance

At the end of August 1970, The Moody Blues took to the stage of the Isle Of Wight Festival in front of an audience estimated at over half a million. This video is their performance at that festival with Mike Pinder singing Melancholy Man.
