Jon Lord (Deep Purple) and Mike Smith (Dave Clark Five) couldn't say the same.

I've always loved the Moody Blues, but was especially fond of Ray, in part because he reminded me so much of my beloved grandfather. "Grandpop Vic" came to America from Birmingham at the age of 19 after WWI to live the American dream. Neither he nor Ray lost their Brummie accent. This is my favorite performance of my favorite MB song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE4nQOfDRL8 |
