NEW * I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band) - The Moody Blues {Stereo} 1973
1973....#12 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #8 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #16 Canada
Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
“I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)“ is a 1973 hit single by the English progressive rock band the Moody Blues, written by the band’s bassist, John Lodge. It was first released in 1972 as the final track on the album Seventh Sojourn and was later released as a single in 1973, with “For My Lady“ as its B-side. It was the second single released from Seventh Sojourn, with the first being “Isn’t Life Strange“, which was also written by Lodge.
The song reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., becoming one of their highest-charting hits in that country, but fared less well in their native UK, where it managed #36. It was also the final single released by the Moody Blues prior to their five-year hiatus, which was agreed upon so each of the band members could pursue their own solo careers. Their next single would not be until 1978, with “Steppin’ in a Slide Zone.“
Billboard regarded the song as a change of pace for the Moody Blues, stating that it had a more “upbeat rock sound“ than their typical songs. Cash Box predicted that it was “likely to turn gold,“ saying that “all indications are that it will head straight for the very top“ of the charts.
The song was the last of the band’s singles to feature the Chamberlin, which had recently replaced the Mellotron. The Chamberlin would later be replaced by a more modern keyboard synthesizer. A promotional music-video was filmed for “I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)“. This video showed the band’s flautist Ray Thomas playing a baritone saxophone; however, according to keyboardist Mike Pinder, the saxophone was used just for effect in the video and the saxophone sound was produced by the Chamberlin. Live performances of the song during the band’s final years featured a live saxophone played by keyboardist Julie Ragins, along with Norda Mullen on flute.
