The Move evolved from several mid 1960s Birmingham based groups, including Carl Wayne & The Vikings, The Nightriders & The Mayfair Set. The group's name seems to refer to the move various members of these bands made to form the group. Beside Roy Wood, the original members of the Move were drummer Bev Bevan, bassist Chris "Ace" Kefford, vocalist Carl Wayne & guitarist Trevor Burton.
Their first single, 'Night of Fear' was released in 1966 and was the first in a line of memorable hits penned chiefly by Roy Wood.

VERSE 1: DBmD The silent night has turned to a night of fear.
DBmD With windows howling wind into your ear.
GEmD You listen to the spirits far behind,
GEmBm These things you hear are too much for your mind.
CHORUS: DGDG Image on your bedroom wall,
DGDG Shadows marching in the hall.
EmD Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind,
EmD Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind,
OUTRO: EmD Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind,
EmD Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind,
VERSE 2: The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave. The chill that turns your blood from red to grey. You know that with these things you see and hear, The silent night has turned to a night of fear.
VERSE 3: The green and purple lights affect your sight, Your mother cannot comfort you tonight. Your brain calls out for help that's never there, The silent night has turned to a night of fear.
