I think that he was apart of that band in the early 1970s

Side Three of “Out of the Blue”, that’s all I’m gonna say.

Ah. And yes, the 70’s when even all the white guys even the English ones sported big giant Afros. LOL!

Good song though.

Are ELO related to The Move?

The Move transformed into ELO. Lynne, who was second banana to Roy Wood, and Bev Bevan, the drummer, moved onto ELO. Roy Wood dropped out shortly after they became ELO. "Do Ya" was Lynne's big song with The Move that ELO later covered.

And you know you’re good when Randy Newman writes a tribute song:

The Story of a Rock and Roll Band

They were six fine English boys
Who knew each other in Birmingham
They bought a drum and guitar
Started a rock-roll band
And Johnny played little violin
And Bobby Joe played the big violin
The one that stands on the floor
They were all in the rock-roll band
Their first song sounded like this
Please get me a witness
Please get me a witness
Right off, they needed a name
Someone said, “How ‘bout the Renegades ?”
Johnny said, “Well I don’t know.
I prefer E.L.O.” I love their “Mr. Blue Skies”
Almost my favorite is “Turn to Stone”
And how ‘bout “Telephone Line”?
I love that E.L.O.

To Revolting Cat:

Thanks for the great link. Gene Vincent - Be Bop A Lulu and Dance to the Bop. I’ll match them against anyone. He was a lot like Bill Haley & the Comets and Buddy Hollywood & The Crickets.

And as someone on the link said, his lead guitarist was great.

This is real rock and roll - raw, roaring, and danceable.

Now you know why the music from the 50’s and early 60’s is called “Golden Oldies”. Today’s stuff is called “Current Crap”.

“Can’t Get It Out of My Head” was the lead song on “Eldorado” (after the overture).

That album was one of the most tuneful, inventive, and thematically coherent ones ever produced, especially the first side.

Don’t forget the Roy Orbison-like “Hold On Tight (To Your Dreams” and “Don’t Bring Me Down”.

ELO was always great and too often underestimated.
