They were the VANGUARD ACT of Berry Gordy's Motown empire.
There have been almost too many GOATs in MMA history to count. Not a shock, since they also decided it was a good idea to put in Nile Rodgers as a sideman when substantially all his HOF credentials were through Chic (which he himself acknowledged), which ironically has destroyed Chic's chances (since they technically can't factor him in as he was inducted on his work with Chic amongst other groups).

The Moody Blues 10.
