Mike Pinder, Synthesizer pioneer and founding member of the Moody Blues who was central to the band’s lush, orchestrated sound on hits such as Nights in White Satin has passed away.
Mike Pinder, second from left, was the last surviving member of the original lineup of the Moody Blues. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the band in 2018
A founding member of the Moody Blues, Mike Pinder played keyboards with the group during its glory years, from the early days as a raucous R’n’B combo through the prog-rock era when his inventive use of synthesizers came to define the group’s groundbreaking symphonic sound.
The versatility of his musicianship was impressive. He played the memorable, bluesy descending piano chord sequence on their No 1 hit Go Now in January 1965. Then he pioneered the use of the mellotron, an early prototype synthesizer that he helped to develop in his time as an engineer at Streetly Electronics, the firm which manufactured the instrument.

Through the Eyes of a Child
No thought must deceive Him, In Life He Must Trust...
Listen, hear the sound, The Child awakes. Wonder all around, The Child awakes.
Now, in his life, He never must be lost; No thoughts must deceive him,
In life he must trust.
With the eyes of a child, You must come out and see That your world's spinning round …
And through life you will be A small part of a hope of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see.
Earth falls far away, New life awaits. Time, it has no day,New Life awaits.
Here is your dream, And now how does it feel?
No words will go with you, and now what is real?
With the eyes of a child, You must come out and see That your world's spinning round And through life you will be A small part of a hope of a love that exists,
In the eyes of a child you will see.
