A beat group from Birmingham, UK, they achieved fame with a faithful cover of Bessie Banks' "Go Now". As the Beatles raised the ante, the Moodies reinvented themselves by buying a Mellotron; it resulted in many hits, and eventually in self-parody - they were likened to the syrupy muzak® of Mantovani. In later years, they did the usual breakup/solo album/comeback routine; their current incarnation is as a bland nostalgia trip for baby boomers. Cool-ish in their day.
