45: Denny Laine

Denny Laine was a co-founding member of the
Moody Blues. He left the band in 1966 to form the
Electric String Orchestra. From there it was
Ginger Baker’s Air Force. Along the way, he got
to know Paul McCartney musically and personally and after some
other projects, it was on to help form Wings
with Paul and Linda.


He left Wings in 1981 and kept a fairly low profile, but has
released a dozen solo albums along the way. He was finally
inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in April of 2018
with his fellow members of the Moody Blues.


These days, he performs with the Denny Laine
Trio and Denny Laine & the Moody Wing
Band.
