Most people would consider the beautifully nostalgic song “Forever Autumn” as a Moody Blues tune, but it was originally written by Jeff Wayne, Gary Osborne and Paul Vigrass and was originally released on the Vigrass and Osborne (1972) album Queues with moderate success in Japan. But it was until 1978 that it became most popular when Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues was asked to sing the lead vocal for Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds reaching #5 (UK Singes Chart) in 1978. I found this video of the Live Musical performance from the LIVE IK 2006 Tour of War of The Worlds.
