Its was on this date in 1981 that Major League Baseball players went on strike for the first time ever. The strike ended on July 31st, but not before over 700 games were cancelled and millions of dollars were lost by the players and owners. So for today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45, we go back to this week in 1981 for the Moody Blues with “Gemini Dream”.
The song appears on their 1981 album “Long Distance Voyager” which became the band’s second ever #1 album delivering two top 40 hits, “The Voice” and “Gemini Dream” which went to #12. One critic said the song sounded like “ELO meets Lipps Inc!”
A great tune from a legendary band from 1981, it’s the Moody Blues with “Gemini Dream” today’s Forgotten 45.
