Coming up... the story of a band on the brink of destruction. They had no direction, no identity, and no money. The Moody Blues lead singer & frontman had left the band, and in a last-ditch effort to save the group, the remaining founders hired a 19-year-old lead singer named Justin Hayward- hoping he would spark new life into their sagging future. After a late-night gig, Justin returned home to his one-room flat, sat on the edge of his bed, picked up an acoustic guitar, and wrote two verses and a chorus to a song that had been milling around in his head.  He’d recently been dumped by a woman that he deeply loved, and although he had been in several relationships since the breakup still tore him up inside. Inspired by a posh but boring gift of bed sheets from a girl that he had briefly dated after his traumatic breakup, he wrote lyrics that unexpectedly progressed into the foundation of a song for the ages. Night in White Satin by the Moody Blues...It ended up being more than just a song…it was the precursor to a movement of prog rock in rock & roll history. The birth of a trailblazing, art rock classic is NEXT on Professor of Rock.

If you’ve ever been through a crushing heartbreak, you will know exactly what I am about to share. When you are suddenly dumped by someone that you truly love, there is no lonelier existence. You enter this kind of funk where you feel like no one in the world can relate to what you’re going through. Sort of like you’re in this bubble…watching others around you but feeling completely isolated from the world.   Time is the only thing that can heal, and thankfully,….it eventually does, but in the meantime, you’re a wreck….You begin to notice things that you never thought about, and experience feelings you never thought imaginable.

They don’t call it heartbreak for nothing… The emotional pain & the heaviness in your chest is brutal!! He was only 19 years old at the time, but aspiring musician Justin Heyward had already experienced what seemed like a lifetime of misery when the woman that he thought was the love of his life kicked him to the curb.

In 1966, during his last year as a teenager, Justin answered an in the classifieds section of Melody Maker Magazine that was placed by the great Eric Burdon of the British band The Animals. Justin sent Burdon a letter expressing his interest in being part of a band and included a reel-to-reel demo of him singing a few acoustic numbers. Burdon was not interested in working with Justin, so he passed along his letter and demo tape to his friend, Mike Pinder, keyboardist & co-founder of The Moody Blues.

The Moody Blues were struggling, on the verge of disbanding after their lead singer & lead guitarist Denny Laine, and their bassist,
