I was doing this with Pops series back in the 80s and 90s. I had orchestra charts written for a friend’s group, The Chenille Sisters. They were similar to the Pointer Sisters in harmonies, but original material.

There were artist reps that specialized in popular artists with orchestra charts, mostly older known groups like the Four Tops, Steve and Edie, Mel Torme, etc. We featured Ute Lemper when I was at the Brooklyn Phil. I don’t think it was even pops, cause we didn’t have

'Pops" as a series. I heard the Moody Blues with Orchestra, but don’t remember where. So you were right on target. 🎯
