I love this. Almost made him a star. Really. Well, for one, if there ever was a man that didn't want to be a star despite his enormous musical gifts, it was Jeff Lynne. And the string of albums from the mid 70's - Eldorado, Face the Music, A New World Record, and Out of Blue - carried on the great musical tradition of the Beatles in wholly new ways. The music of an enormously gifted fan. As Gerorge Harrison said, if the Beatles carried on after Abbey Road, this is what they'd sound like.
Jeff Lynne is no doubt one of the best rock producer in our time. Keep on making them tunes. Love to see you live again with Bev Bevan,Richard Tandy again.
i am rediscovering his work.. simply amazing.. He is great.. and Midnight Blue brings back such sweet memories. Thanks for writing such great songs.. You really rock.
@WelshBarry75 Yes, he was the leader of ELO. Producer,writer singer......and he also plays guatar,cello, piano,drums......so on and so on......Why is he so dislike by the media??? Even today with all his music being used in commercials and sampled by so many other artist the mane stream media still don't respect him. But his many fans and other relevent artist do............
How I wish to sing with good John Lynnard. We will sing of the proof of the spirit. O holy brother, where art thou? I made Indica Rose for you. She can't have another, she is a believer. SAWR
Well Jeff is a legend here, the ELO albums are among the best records ever made.

@LawoftheLandPA I agreed in parts with you, but the best album (for me) is "Out Of The Blue"... It has "Concerto for a rainy day" suite...

Fuck jeff lynne. His only goal in life was to "become a Beatle". Read it on Wikipedia. Fucking climber.

Being in ELO almost made him a star? That's funny, ELO was one of the biggest touring bands in the world in the mid to late 70s.
Lynne was a mega star and was low profile for he was not an attention hog.
