Electric Light Orchestra - Wild West Hero (Remastered)

This clip is dedicated to the memory of "Kelly Groucutt" (bass player & backing vocalist). Rest in peace cowboy you will be sadly missed :-( but your mark in history we will strive to revive!

Yes at last here it is... the in-sync & fully remastered "original" version of the 70s orchestral style cowboy number "Wild West Hero".

"Wild West Hero" is a song by the Electric Light Orchestra, and the closing track and third single from their 1977 album Out of the Blue. The song was written and composed by the bands lead singer Jeff Lynne. Melvyn Gale, normally the band's cellist, provided the Western-style piano for this track.

It entered the UK Top 40 at No. 31 in June 1978 but fell to No. 36 the following week. Thanks to a rush-release in 12" format on yellow vinyl, its fortunes were reversed a week later, and within six weeks it had risen to a peak position of No. 6. Coincidentally this was also the highest UK position achieved by the group's previous single, Mr. Blue Sky, and the next two, Sweet Talkin' Woman and Shine a Little Love.

You wont make a profit on something that cannot be purchased but enough exposure may well help sell what you actually do have for sale. Meanwhile to share ones talents is the greatest of gifts!

This can often cause picture & sound deterioration (i.e. mono audio) as well as the occasional video/audio synchronization issue. The files are also deliberately layered on our end with logos and artists links in order to prevent YouTube recycling by lazy up-loaders, while at the same time helping to promote the artists themselves!

@mattjreid Are you nuts? The piano part is the soul of the song. It's old west. Honky-Tonk is more New Orleans anyway.

[MrRichardSabsay]
