It's Tuesday and that means it's Rundgren Radio show day! Please join us today at 8:30 pm ET as our guest for tonight is Denny Laine!
Denny Laine founded the Moody Blues in 1964 and had a hit song with his own composition, "Go Now," still played on classic rock stations across the world. In 1966, Denny left the Moody Blues in search of greater commercial success. He formed The Electric String Band and did some work with Ginger Baker's Air Force, a partial offshoot of Blind Faith.
By 1971, Denny had co-founded Wings with Paul McCartney. Wings enjoyed huge international success. Some of their hits were "Hi, Hi, Hi," "My Love," "Live & Let Die," "Band on the Run," "Jet," "Silly Love Songs," "Let 'Em In," "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Mull of Kintyre," and "With A Little Luck," among others. They were truly a band, as each member sang lead on songs, not only Sir Paul. However, personnel changes abounded during Wings' tenure, but Denny, Paul & Linda stayed the course until 1981, when they finally disbanded amid talk of a souring relationship between McCartney & Laine. Was it the result of McCartney's drug arrest in Japan derailing their tour plans in 1980? (You be the judge when you hear what Denny has to say tonight.)
Denny has been active recording solo material and making appearances both solo and in all-star ensemble settings such as Beatlefest events ever since. Most recently, Denny joined Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Lou Gramm, Greg Hawkes, Bo Bice, John Ferenzik, Prairie Prince and Jesse Gress on tour in a tribute to the Sgt. Pepper album "It Was 40 Years Ago Today."
Check out Rundgren Radio tonight at 8:30 ET to see what Denny has in store for the future. He might even have a fun story or two about OH. We welcome your questions at 646-716-9262.
