For many years, they would not play it. They thought it was amateurish and sounded like something recorded in a garage by the neighborhood kids. Then, the public made it very clear that this was one of the most iconic recordings to come out of the British Invasion. It is a classic.

I am SO SAD to learn of the death of DENNY LAINE on Tuesday morning, 12/5/23. 😔💔💙 THE MOODY BLUES have by far been my #1 FAVE BAND for 67 years, from 1966 to 2023! I always associate GO NOW with beloved DENNY LAINE!!!

Just turned 73 and I still listen to this sing everyday. What great times the 60s were. Thank God I was born when I was.

R. I. P. Denny, another music legend lost

A haunting, beautifully sung interpretation-Denny Laine has such a distinctive voice and the rest of the Moodies are brilliant

I was 14 years old, loved a boy and sat on his wall listening to this on my transister with my best friend ❤❤

The best piano walk down in history…

Great memories! RIP Denny Laine ..🌹

These guys are pure magic ,,what utter talent ,,i was 18 years old when i fell in love with them ,, Now im 74 x thats a lot of years to be in love xx long live the 6os era ,,,,ive ordered a TIME machine , idoes anyone want a lift ? xx

The song fits these guys so good. Denny Laine and his crystal-clear voice along with the remaining band members lending their voices for background vocals. What a dynamic group they were during the 60s. Why Denny Laine didn't continue to be a lead vocalist is an unanswered question till this day. 👍❤

14yrs old when this charted sounds just as good today 🎶🎼🎵

Still my favorite Moody Blues song of all time and one of the best songs to come out of the British Invasion.

Great moody blues song with the fantastic denny laine 😢🎸 rip

One of my all time favourites, from a long long time ago now. I was 13 in 1964 when it came out - good grief! Denny Laine - great voice, great talent. He did a brilliant performance of this on the Wings Over America tour, with Macca and Linda on backing vocals.

My earliest musical recollection Go Now, The Moody Blues. I was only 6 years old at the time. I will always associate this tune with taking one our pet budgie's to a vet in Canning Town. Sadly, he did not come home with us. I still recall feeling very sad about it. just like the song.

Still my favorite Moody Blues tune.

I never quite understood how someone should dance to this tune and this video didn't help. Still, a very well done song that withstood the test of time.

This song takes me back to when I was a teenager. Great times,great friends.

Yep these guys nailed it with this awesome song.

My favorite song from the Moody Blues.

For me the best ever moody blues song with Denny Laine on lead vocals

Underrated song, and an underrated group.

One of my favorite songs. I love the Moody Blues!

This is the song that is responsible for a 49 year addiction to the Moody Blues!

I.d forgotten about this song it's a masterpiece

Love that 60s song, brings back so many good memories of the best years in music. I'm now 73.

It was 50 years ago today, February 20th 1965 that the Moodies first hit the American charts with this song, "Go Now" One of my all time favorite bands from Britain. RockinRonny

Truly a timeless song. And watching this video takes you straight back to that period.

I love this song too!!! Too bad the younger generation may never get to hear this great song due to the fact that very few radio stations, even the oldies stations, ever play this gem. Moody Blues one of the top 5 groups EVER. Thanks for posting.

My favorite Moody Blues song. Long live The Moodies.

The first song I heard from the Moody Blues and it is still my favorite

I have always loved this song, from when I first heard it at age 15.

ime almost 62yrs old,,and this song is still as good as the day it came out..their best by far.. thanks

Beautiful version from one of the top bands from the British Invasion!!

When you think of the 60s this song hits the mark wonderful x

This song is Bad A$$! ❤ Love it!! I was little when it came out but grew up with later hits by The Moody Blues. My new favorite Old song.

I love this song by the moody blues. I think it was the first hit.

Love this song....a classic for sure.

I'm 36 and used to record totp 2 because I loved all music. I love this song so much.

i always cry when i play this, brings back memories of a girl who loved this song and i miss her so much.:(

THIS SONG IS SO GOOD I CAN SEE INTO THE PAST

RIP Denny. Go now...into the warm loving arms of the afterlife. 😢

one of the best ever..and that means there up with the beatles..what a great song

Another cover that became an iconic hit for a great band.

I saw this when I was 10 years old on top of the pops . It really is a fantastic song all these years later. Denny has an amazing voice .

I was born 1958 I remember my older brother's playing all these sixties songs lovely memories

By far their best single.

The 60´s the unbeatable era of the music's explosion in the best possible sense !

My favorite Moody Blues song. :)

I adore it with all its crunchiness 👌💗

One of my favorites as a young teenager!

A great classic,the Moody Blues were and are one of the best live bands of all time,I ushered 20 years in Cincinnati and we had every group come thru day back in the day and they were wonderful.

It's so nice to re-visit these beautiful hits ..♥

Fantastic record. I can remember seeing This on top of the flops .. Think I was around 13 at the time. Magic days. Denny Laine had a great voice ❤️

Ahh, now this is their original lineup. Ray Thomas, Mike Pinder, Denny Laine, Graeme Edge, and Clint Warwick. I love when Justin joins from '66 onwards but you have to admit Denny Laines voice and the combination of the original 5 artist's are just spectacular. This was one of the only popular songs and the one that originally kicked off their career containing the original 5 members. And to think they still tour today with Graeme Edge still a member after all these years! Now that's love and dedication to your art!

go now by the moody blues is a classic song that was in the charts in jan 1965 when i was a school starter and was a song i used to whistle in class! also remarkable Denny Laine in suit & tie , and short hair!

early moodys always had those great piano rifts; this and Tuesday Afternoon

Wow! A real blast from the past. Some of their old stuff was better than later works.

This song reminds me of my happy high school days!😊 Thank you

Denny Laine sang that when he was with Wings in concert.

we were so ahead of the times in 65 that none of the instruments needed any cords nor did Laine need a microphone! magic

Yeah, completely agree. Denny Laine was the heart and spirit of the Moody Blues.

this song is criminally underrated

This is some early Moody Blues and I still I love it.

A TRIP BACK TO THE PAST 🎼🎹❤

Fantastic song. Even much later on in the band Wings Denny sang this.

I'm now seventy years young and this brings back fond memories of my first love. It was our song and we played it over and over again. Sadly, she emigrated to Australia with her parents and left me with a broken heart. Geoff in the UK.

Oh, those teenage years in the 1960s were memorable

Loved this when it came out and had forgotten it was the Moody Blues.

What a beautiful song

R.I.P Mike Pinder, Graeme Edge, Clint Warwick and Ray Thomas.

My favorite Moody Blues!!

Denny Laine and the Moody Blues at their very best.

that old song take way back. to a anther time. their times it called me back.

Love that piano solo 1:56

LOVE THAT SONG.

how the world used to be. miss it so much

my favorite Moody Blues song

I used to listen to this song non-stop in the car when I was 7-10 years old

A FANTASTIC song by an even more FANTASTIC band, their lead singer is AMAZING! ah yes I remember them well ;)

On this day in 1965 {Feb. 17th} the Moody Blues performed "Go Now!" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!' Three days later on Feb. 20th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #10 and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100 And on January 28th, 1965 it reached #1 {for 1 week} on the U. K. Singles chart The song was originally recorded a year earlier in 1964 by American soul singer Bessie Banks, it was composed by her husband, Larry Banks RIP Jimmy O'Neil {1940-2013, Shindig's host}

Just great!

I absolutely adore this song! Much more than latter mbs

"Go Now" - the song that started it all for the Moody Blues! Thanks for posting :)

Love this song. 🙂❤

ha ha, golden chains in 64 ! nice to see it now....lovin song of my youth......still love the melody

A masterpiece .

Love this song and Denny Laine such sensitivity

hi me again, I was 4 when this song, Denny still got a lovely singing voice, I think he 72

Sounds like it was made in a large metal bucket... and I love it

Sad day, this one kinda caught me off guard. R.I.P. Denny.

This is the best song they ever did! Miss you Ricky. love rita

As well as Justin Heywood replacing Denny Laine, John Lodge replaced Clint Warwick at pretty much the same time on bass. Those two along with original drummer Graeme Edge are still performing as 'The Moody Blues' today.

Great song. Interesting dancing.

This is When I loved the Moody Blues !!!!!!!!

I always says - 60's is the best period in pop music history!

They used to play Marquee Monday nights we used to go every week ! It was great fun

Ah Denny Laine, superb...

MY FAVORITE SONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES FOR ME GREAT GROUP...

And the engineer ran the recording into the red - distorting the opening vocal, catapaulting the record into everyone's ear and launching a '60s game of (literally) 'new sounds' that would hallmark a slew of the biggest hits on both sides of the Atlantic for years to follow.
