Blackberry Way is a popular single by The Move
Written by Roy Wood and produced by Jimmy Miller, Blackberry Way was a bleak counterpoint to the sunny psychedelia of earlier recordings. It nevertheless became the bands most successful single reaching #1 on the UK singles chart. Richard Tandy who would later play Keyboards with Roy Wood's next band ELO, played Harpsichord. Despite the success of the single the style of psychedelically tinged pop sat uneasily with bassist Trevor Burton and he left the group shortly after.
