I knew Paul when he was in the Beatles. We did the second Beatles British tour with the Moody Blues. And we became friends. I went to a couple of the sessions for the ‘Sgt. Pepper’ album, we went to parties together, we went to see Jimi Hendrix together. Denny Laine Read Quote
Not that I got bored with it all, or I didn’t like the people in The Moody Blues. I just wanted to go off and do other things purely because it was out there, you know. I’m kind of glad that I did and that I didn’t just stick with one thing. Denny Laine Read Quote

I was part of that whole early Moody Blues transitioning from a sort of R&B-blues band to being more progressive. Denny Laine Read Quote

I was doing something of my own after I left The Moody Blues, I went away, lived in Spain for a while. Denny Laine Read Quote
