Classic Blue is the fourth solo studio album by The Moody Blues member Justin Hayward. Classic Blue was released in 1989 by Trax Records (later re-released on Castle Music Records in 1994), and features Mike Batt, who also produced the album, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The album includes cover versions of many hit songs, such as The Beatles' "Blackbird", and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." It also includes a re-recorded version of "Forever Autumn," a song from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, in which Hayward originally sang lead vocals.

Justin Hayward and an orchestra covering songs that he'd admired by other songwriters, this time on a grand scale that makes this record sound both sonically impressive and terribly pretentious. It's debatable whether the pop world needed Richard Harris's rendition of "MacArthur Park," but it definitely didn't need Hayward's even more cloying version 20-odd years later.
