It's a relatively simple Song - consisting of eight repeated lines extolling His Love of Music - But the rich, elaborate orchestration made it a pop landmark to rival Macarthur Park and Bohemian Rhapsody .
Miles never matched its commercial peak again, But he enjoyed a long and varied career, releasing 10 albums between 1976 and 1999. In 2017, he received an outstanding contribution prize at the Progressive Rock awards.
" I think I made a contribution But that was way back in The 70S , " he joked as he accepted the award.
" I suppose it has endured though. And The Song Music has endured as well, and that was the biggest hit worldwide. I'm A Man of few words and there are eight lines of lyrics in that Song . I get to work with orchestras These Days too, which is fantastic. "
Born John Errington in April 1949, Miles's first musical venture was the Influences, which also launched the careers of Roxy Music drummer Paul Thompson and guitarist Vic Malcolm, of The Band Geordie.
After they split up, he moved to London and landed a deal with Decca Records , scoring his first Top 20 hit with the melodic rock track Highfly in 1975.

After a public vote, however, he took second place to 15-year-old Emma Louise Booth, whose Song Give a Little Love Back To The World eventually came sixth in The Competition overall.
As a session musician, Miles toured with Tina Turner , Stevie Wonder and Jimmy Page ; and participated almost every year in Belgium's Night Of The Proms concerts, where he played orchestral versions of rock classics.
One of his final projects came during lockdown Last Year , when he recorded a with Antwerp's Philharmonic Orchestra under quarantine conditions.
Miles' manager, Cliff Cooper, said the musician had died " peacefully in his sleep with His Family at his bedside".
" As John's manager and friend for over 50 Years , John was not only so kind and gentle But a brilliant musician and songwriter on the World Stage , " he told The Bbc .
" Grief is The Price we pay for Love . He will be greatly missed, But his Music will live on forever. "
Miles is Survived By his wife of almost 50 Years , Eileen, as well as their Two Children and grandchildren.
