One of my favorite hits of the 70s (although I didn't care for that silly poem).

It's a really amazing song. The original is quite nice. It will always be a classic.
The only covers of this I have liked were the Italian one that Mario Frangoulis did, and the dance one Israeli singer Ivri Lider did recently. Ivri's is especially noteworthy as the majority of the main vocals are done without beats underneath preserving some of the feel of the original.

Very interesting song, especially the narrative at the end of the song - sounds like someone telling a ghost story.

It's OK. I'm not sure if I ever listened to it in its entirety. I definitely never listened to the lyrics, though.

At one time, this held the record for the biggest drop ever from the Hot 100 (fell off the chart from #17). Actually, it may still hold that record...

Someone sang this on "American Idol" this season. I think it was Sundance.

Great song. I think I even have the album "Days of Future Passed" , but right now I can't remember how it was.

Nights In White Satin which was recorded in 1968 reached #2 in the Hot 100 in 1972.

Love love love this. As stated above, this was actually initially released in 1967 (not 1968) so I’m moving it to the ‘60’s.

With over 125 million Spotify plays this is clearly a timeless classic. Just a haunting and beautiful sound.
