The entire group was very nice and friendly. They befriended my brother who was a huge fan who had music of theirs he acquired from countries around the world and traded or gave to them. He and Ray had a friendship resulting partly from shared medical issues each faced. Ray didn't receive all the accolades but contributed greatly to their sound. Loved all his song contributions as well as voice/ music.
I really loved Ray Thomas...his voice is beautiful..I was so sad when he passed away..and now Graeme has too.....The Moody Blues music still makes me feel good..brings back my youth from the 60s....I can listen to their music everyday and not get tired of it...so very sad they are both gone...fans like myself love and will miss them...rest in peace Ray and Graeme...I love you guys
You may be gone off this physical earth but you live on in our hearts, minds and soul. Your magnificent voice is timeless and we all thank you for your magnificent voice, talent and music. RIP Ray and thanks for giving us so much of yourself.
When my time to leave this physical earth comes.... I hope I run into him there, so I can thank him personally for all the years of beautiful music. Thank you.
An essential voice of the Moody blues, I always loved his voice in particular, but loved all their music. For 52 years I have listened to them, always finding new elements in the mix. I've seen them only twice live, once with Ray and once after Ray retired with Norda Mullen. She fills the role with the flute and adds a new dimension with her voice, but sadly we'll never hear Ray sing "For my lady". Such a beautiful song, magic voice .. perfect. Thanks for making this tribute Classic Corsair, some wonderful images. Thank you Ray for making my life what it is, you have played a big part in who I am. RIP you lovely man.
Ray, when you sang, the WORLD listened, you were missed at every concert I attended, and now your Spirit/Soul has moved on to "THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE" and my life will be "FOREVER AUTUMN", "cause your not here" The Guys are Great, I love um all, it's just not the same ! RIP Brother 💞
Ray had a voice like a cup of warm cocoa.....warm, comforting, satisfying and rich with the excitement of marshmellows on top. Never disappointing and makes you look for ward to the next occasion to treat yourself. God Bless and play on in heaven's band......in between fishing that is.
Beautiful song and touching video. Grew up with The Moody Blues. And will miss Ray Thomas special contribution to a specia kind of music. Thanks for posting.
Moody Blues Transcendent I really didn't pay attention until my older years who wrote what. Ray Thomas, great musician. A great songwriter. He still lives in my head and my heart.
I saw Ray twice with The Moody Blues in the '80s . He introduced a lot of the songs and was a very funny guy . Great musician , singer and songwriter .
A fitting tribute song. Sounds like the group even though it isn't. In my opinion his last brilliant song. Up there with legend, eternity, tide rushes in and for my lady.
Ray Thomas, like all the Moodies, was an old soul with a spiritual side that informed his compositions and made him a rare talent that didn't seek out the limelight or the excesses of rock stardom. I truly thought that he had the best natural voice of any of the band members -- which is saying a lot because Justin Hayward has a similar tone and was the most recognizable voice in the group.
@@cindysmale9290 Yes! I heard his rendition of "Eternity Road" during a solo performance in San Diego some years ago, and OMG it was just spot on - even more mature than his younger days, which were already good.
Happy Birthday in Heaven Ray...we miss you..now the Angel's and those who have gone on to be with our God have you singing in the Heavenly choir and playing your flute..hope to join you someday..😇
Sad, beautiful, and self-musing I think. Thank you Ray Thomas, your melodious flute, wise appearing and handsome face, and exceptional lyrics are much appreciated. May God rest you in His Peace. Cindy USA
I will miss you always. I will always remember your gentle nature of a great man and musician. A great singer, flutist, and a great love for your leadership and enjoying so much of all that you did in your life of making others happy with your beautiful music, your great leadership. May you rest in eternal peace Ray.
I wish Ray could have been there for the R&R HOF induction with the rest. He wrote several MB songs that are favorites of mine. Sweet voice, great ear for melody.
What have I been missing out on...must get his CDs... Lee Thomas you were so lucky to have had him with you...unlike mine only imagination....such a lovely tribute to the man. who was an essential part of the Moodies...God rest his soul.
He had the best voice in the MB.I'd like ask Pinder how Denny Lane got the job over Ray. Especially when u hear the El riot stuff he sounded a little like Elvis.
Great memories of MB at Capital Cardiff supporting C huck Berry. When Chuck appeared the lads from the valleys tried to get on the stage.MBs grabbed mike stands and repelled the horde - especially Ray.
As I get older, I miss Ray's music more than ever and have been delighted to discover this song like his unfinished work "The Dreamer " especially with the new accompaniment, but his others like Eternity Road, Under Moonshine, Sorry ( written by Graeme but sung by Ray) and For My Lady take on new meaning.
omg thank you so much for that wonderful song my favorite and boy it makes the tears and I love it and I miss Ray so much,it isn't the same without him
Loved it. May you give as many amazing gifts to the world in your next life. I grew up and as a young man had many a amazing,profound, higher dimentional trip with the moodys and saw many shows in the 80s and 90s
Ray was so underrated but his music with the Moody`s was so up there with the one i will never forget is "For my lady" and "Legend of a mind-Timothy Leary", he will never be forgotten with the greats, the Cosmic Rocker lives in heaven now!
its a pity marvelous and brilliant singers like ray have to leave us im 72 and have loved the mood's since i heard go now i liked the Beatles and Rowling stones as a teenager but as a band you could put your feet and listen to wonderful songs and music the best band of all is the moody blues melancholy man and for my lady are examples +forever Autumn .best band ever.
All those...songs...make me......cry

RAY'S VOICE SUITS THIS SONG PERFECTLY. ONLY HE CAN DO JUSTICE TO THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG.❤❤❤❤
Missed so very much.
A great tribute to the legendary Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues 💙
Hail to Ray Thomas and The Moody Blues!

Have you heard the quad mixes of his songs? Check Shanks Steinberg.
Ray, when you sang, the WORLD listened, you were missed at every concert I attended, and now your Spirit/Soul
has moved on to "THE OTHER SIDE OF LIFE" and my life will be "FOREVER AUTUMN", "cause your not here"
The Guys are Great, I love um all, it's just not the same ! RIP Brother 💞
I have never heard this one. The Moody Blues had one hell of a ride.
I've been a huge Moodys fan since the early 70s, but I've never heard this. I'm in tears, it is so beautiful. Thank you.
great song ,,,i bought this as well as all their solo albums when they came out ....my favorite from this album..R.I.P. ray,,,,

THIS SONG IS SO SAD AND SO GREAT AT THE SAME TIME❤❤❤❤
Ray's voice was incredibly beautiful.
The best in the band
I'm sorry for...our loss
I always loved Ray Thomas and his contributions as a founding member of the Moody Blues. I liked all those guys.
This group kept me sane in Korea 1968-1970
not my choice, to be there, but so go's the world.

Nice
Moody Blues

I really didn't pay attention until my older years who wrote what.
Ray Thomas, great musician. A great songwriter. He still lives in my head and my heart.
Quite the most loveliest 'finger clicker' that ever roamed the planet. Nice one!
I showed his daughter's this video. It's beautiful thank you...

Moody Blues/Ray Thomas...my all time favorite.
How could anyone not like this?

I agree with your assessment of the quality of his voice and I think so naturally mellowed and aged. Cindy

WASN'T HIS LAST DREAM.....JUST THE BEGINNING......🙏😇💖
Excellent post for a brilliant man who traveled on the wind...
One of a kind - one of the greatest bands of their era.
Great tribute, and a good song choice from Ray's solo works.
Sad, beautiful, and self-musing I think. Thank you Ray Thomas, your melodious flute, wise appearing and handsome face, and exceptional lyrics are much appreciated. May God rest you in His Peace. Cindy USA

I read in a mini biography of Ray that he was a Christian. Apparently he lived his faith.
