Brian just told the story of how the fantastic Moody Blues No1 hit was born - involving Denny Laine and mighty DJ James Hamilton, who turned me onto the Glen Miller sound that I translated with my Sound 9418 project (and had a top 50 hit with).
I used to enjoy James Hamilton's weekly column in the much missed Record Mirror. In the 1970s I used to read all the weekly music papers. Record Mirror, NME, Melody Maker, Sounds, and Disc and Music Echo. There was some great music journalism in those days.
