A couple of years ago I noted and celebrated the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation from James Madison High School in Milwaukee. The Mighty Knights. This song figured significantly in that period as it was the theme song for a high school prom - Knights In White Satin.
Composed by Justin Hayward it was featured on the album Days of Future Passed. It was originally released as a single in 1967 barely charting in the US. When reissued in 1972 the single rose to number two in the US on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the band's most successful single in the US.
Nights In White Satin was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
This is a terrific 1970 live recording from my favorite city....
