The Move.
Jeff Lynne disbanded the group in 1986. He and founding member (and drummer) Bev Bevan shared equal rights to the name. In 1990, Dev wanted to record and tour under the ELO name again, but Jeff would not join or permit use of the name, but agreed to allow Bev to use the moniker ELO Part II (with provision that the record contain a label that Jeff Lynne was NOT part of the group). Eventually, Bev disbanded ELO Part II and sold his half of the ELO brand back to Jeff. Jeff began recording and performing as the Original Electric Light Orchestra in 2001 with the album 'Zoom'. Richard Tandy was the only original ELO member to contribute to the album, and tour. It's worth noting that ELO cancaeled their world tour in 2001 due to dismal ticket sales, although they did perform a series of limited shows in California, including material for VH1's Storytellers and the Zoom DVD. Jeff has yet to retire the ELO brand as of 2013. He recently released (another) ELO 'Best of' album of old rerecorded ELO tunes with a smaller or non existent string section, and no choir. Jeff played all the instruments on that latest work.
No, Barry Gibb does not sing on the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) song "The Diary of Horace Wimp." The track features lead vocals by Jeff Lynne, the band's frontman and primary songwriter. Gibb is known for his work with the Bee Gees, and while he has collaborated with various artists, he is not involved in this particular song.
That sounds like ELO 'Telephone Lines' - it is on youtube. Although it's not a different voice, Jeff Lynne's voice is electronically altered.
ELO
Jeff Lynne did not have a direct connection with The Moody Blues as a member or collaborator, but he was part of the same musical era and influenced by similar styles. Lynne, known for his work with Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), shared a symphonic rock sound that paralleled the Moody Blues' blend of rock and orchestral elements. Additionally, both bands were associated with the progressive rock movement in the late 1960s and 1970s, contributing to the genre's evolution. While they may not have worked together, their paths crossed in the broader context of rock music during that time.
Laura and Stephanie Lynne are the daughters of ELO frontman Jeff Lynne.
Originally Jeff Lynne
The song "Do Ya" was written by Jeff Lynne and was originally recorded by his band, ELO. The band's website contains further information on the recording of the song.
Jeff Lynne is the sole survivor He owns the ELO name outright At present the members of ELO Part II (spin off band) are Kelly Groucutt (vocals and bass), Mik Kaminski (violinist), Gordon Townsend (drums), Eric Troyer (vocals and keyboards), Phil Bates (vocals and guitar) and Louis Clark (keyboards and conductor).
Professionally: 1966: Joined the "Nightriders". Changed name and released album as "The Idle Race". 1970: Joined "The Move". 1971: Three members of the Move create "Electric Light Orchestra" and release an album of the same name. 1973: Roy Wood leaves ELO project to Jeff Lynne as Electric Light Orchestra becomes a group of it's own with Jeff Lynne as frontman. This group lasted until 1986 with Jeff Lynne and drummer Bev Bevan as the only constant members. 1988: Formed "Traveling Wilburys" with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan. 1990: Jeff Lynne releases Armchair Theater solo album. 2001: Jeff Lynne releases what even Lynne admits is another solo album, depite using the ELO moniker for the album. Jeff feels that this album has more of an ELO sound, deserving the ELO name.
If you go to the homepage of the Jeff Lynne/ELO fan web site called Face the Music:http://www.ftmusic.com/ there are numerous images. you will find an image of him there "sans" glasses.
Jeff Lynne has one brother named Ron Lynne and one sister named Ruth Lynne. He grew up in Birmingham, England, and his family has supported his musical career over the years. Lynne is best known as the frontman of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and for his work with various artists in the music industry.
I believe Jeff is heavily involved in charity work these days. He has finally cut his signature tresses and made a generous donation to Locks of Love. As for his musical career....after taking some time off from the band that made him famous he's currently making a splash on the summer band shell concert tour with Night Ranger.
I have seen Jeff Lynne accompanied several times in pictures by Camilia Kath, ex-wife of Keifer Sutherland and ex-wife of a musician by the last name of Kath. I don't know if they are officially married but they were together as recently as when George Harrison got his star on Hollywood Blvd.
