The song peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. One oddity, this was the first song beginning with the letter 'X' to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and it remained the only one until 2000's "X" by Xzibit.

(de) «Xanadu» es una canción del grupo británico Electric Light Orchestra y de la cantante Olivia Newton-John, publicada en el álbum de estudio Xanadu (1980). La canción, compuesta por Jeff Lynne, fue también publicada como el segundo sencillo de la banda sonora, tras «I'm Alive», en mayo de 1980. La canción fue interpretada por la Electric Light Orchestra con Newton-John como vocalista principal y Jeff Lynne aportando los coros.

La canción supuso el primer y único sencillo del grupo en alcanzar el primer puesto en la lista de sencillos del Reino Unido, donde se mantuvo durante dos semanas en julio de 1980. El sencillo también alcanzó el puesto ocho en la lista Billboard Hot 100 en los Estados Unidos. En 2000, Lynne regrabó la canción con su propia voz para la caja recopilatoria Flashback. Aunque el recopilatorio fue acreditadoo a la Electric Light Orchestra, la canción fue regrabada completamente por Lynne, sin la colaboración de sus antiguos compañeros. (es) Xanadu is een single van de combinatie Olivia Newton-John en het Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Het lied is een onderdeel van de soundtrack behorende bij de film Xanadu uit 1980. Deze soundtrack bestond uit een elpee, die aan één zijde was gewijd aan diverse artiesten waaronder ook Cliff Richard; de andere zijde werd volgespeeld door ELO.

De verdeling per plaatkant wisselt per land van uitgifte. Het lied Xanadu kan dus zowel het sluitstuk van kant 1 als kant 2 zijn. Het was een vreemde combinatie in die tijd; fans van Newton-John en ELO moesten niets van elkaar hebben. Er was destijds een behoorlijke strijd tussen zangeressen in het repertoire van Olivia en de rockmuziek van ELO. Het lied is geschreven door Jeff Lynne, leider van ELO. De combinatie zorgde er kennelijk voor dat er een kleine verbroedering plaatsvond tussen de “strijdende partijen” want de single kwam in veel landen in de hoogste regionen van de hitparades terecht. Van Australië (nr. 2) tot aan het Verenigd Koninkrijk (nr. 1) was het succesvol. In de Nederlandse Top 40 kwam het vier weken op nummer 1 te staan; in de Nationale Hitparade stond het vijf weken op de hoogste positie.

In de jaren daarna werd het lied gecoverd door diverse artiesten waaronder Sharleen Spiteri, maar geen daarvan oogstte succes. In 2000 nam Lynne het zelf nog een keer op onder de naam ELO, maar hij speelde alle muziekinstrumenten.

The song peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. New ELO version In 2000 , ELO's Jeff Lynne re-recorded the song, with his own vocals, for the box set Flashback and the All Over The World compilation. Though it was billed as an ELO selection, the song was recorded entirely by Lynne himself, with no input from his former bandmates. Cover versions In early 1996, two Australian dance performers released versions of the song. Sydney singer Olivia Featuring Paula (on the MDS label) released a dance version first followed by Kirsty K. (on Central Station Records). Both versions charted on the ARIA Singles and Dance Charts in the first half on 1996.

The track was covered by the Australian singer Dannii Minogue , and Xanadu was to be the seventh single from Minogue's album, Club Disco , but was cancelled due to filming commitments and forthcoming recording plans. It was also covered by British singer/songwriter Lightspeed Champion , and was a b-side on his single Tell Me What It's Worth . The song is being performed as part of the 2007 Broadway musical Xanadu . This was the first song beginning with the letter 'X' to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100 , a record held until 2001's "X" by Xzibit. A Cantonese cover named 情陷仙樂都 (Falling in love with Xanadu) was recorded in 2003 by Hong Kong singer Sammi Cheng . Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri sang a cover of Xanadu on Graham Norton's new year show on the 12th of December 2009 and released a single the following month.

Charts Xanadu by Olivia Newton-John Songfacts Xanadu by Olivia Newton-John Songfacts Songfacts The word Xanadu showed up in the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). Xanadu is the fictional name of the land where Khubla Khan ordered the dome to be built. The word Xanadu came to mean a paradise. In the movie Citizen Kane, Xanadu was the name of Charles Foster Kane's house. This was written for the movie musical of the same name. Newton-John starred in the film with Gene Kelly. The movie was a bomb, but the soundtrack, which contained all songs by Newton-John and The Electric Light Orchestra, was a hit. In the trailer for the film, Olivia-Newton John is billed as "the girl you loved in Grease." This song plays over the end of the trailer. Quite a bit is made of the singing and dancing and starring cast, not much is mentioned about the plot. Electric Light Orchestra frontman Jeff Lynne wrote this song, which turned off many of the group's hardcore fans who felt they were veering too far into disco territory.

The foray into disco was very successful and produced ELO's most popular work, but it got away from their core orchestral sound. They got diminishing returns on their next four albums, and in 1986, the band went on hiatus. For those of you who have heard of this film's reputation but not yet seen it, you might be asking yourself, "What on earth is so terrible about it?" It's famous for being a box-office flop, but what, did it stink all over? And you might even go hunting down reviews online, only to find a queue of user reviews on IMDB defending it for dear life and crying that it's not that bad. Here's the gist of it: The concept, story, and overall dialog is pathetic, even though everything else is great. They blew $20 million cool ones on the budget for this in 1980! Consider that Star Wars, released just three years previously, had a budget of $11 million. And there's no way Xanadu would have outsold The Force, even with dialogue by Shakespeare.

It's basically a roller-disco fantasy made at a time when (a) disco, (b) roller-skating, and (c) fantasy all became as dead as fried chicken. It was the dawn of the '80s; Reagan was in office and people wanted either hard sci-fi or down-home country folk, and it was time for heavy metal and greed. The studio executives made bone-headed decisions slapping this together, like with the animated sequence in the middle which just confused the bejabbers out of everybody. It was basically just thrown in for the sole purpose of Universal thumbing their nose at Disney. Key words from above point: "slapped together." Including one each of every kind of music genre. The whole thing plays like it was built by sugar-hyped six-year-olds who couldn't resist gluing on "one more cool thing," whether it fit or not. Nevertheless, it is a guilty pleasure, Olivia sings her sweet little heart out, Gene dances up a storm, ELO rocks out, and it's all now an interesting historical period piece with a modern-day cult following. Electric Light Orchestra released a new version of this song on their 2000 compilation Flashback.

This rendition has lead vocals by Jeff Lynne, who sings it in a more subdued manner. Kelly reluctantly dusted off his dancing shoes for Xanadu. "I had already decided about a year and a half before I did Xanadu that I was through with dancing," he explained in a 1985 interview. "In fact, I wasn't going to dance in Xanadu, but several journalists told me that Olivia Newton-John kept saying how sad she was that she wouldn't get the chance to dance with me. So I finally said, 'All right, throw in a number.' But I'm through with dancing."

Original official music video of Olivia Newton-John performing her Top 10 hit A Little More Love from the 1978 album Totally Hot. The song was a world-wide hit that peaked at #4 in UK and #3 in US, during the winter of 1979. Billboard magazine ranked it as the 17th most popular song of 1979. It was the single that followed chart-topper Hopelessly Devoted to You from the hit movie Grease with John Travolta. Later she went #1 again with the hit Magic from the film Xanadu. The song can be heard on 2006 animated horror/comedy film Monster House. My apologies - I had to tilt the video to unblock in the U.S. ;) Enjoy!

A Little More Love - Music and Lyrics - John Farrar Night is draggin' her feet I wait alone in the heat I know, know that you'll have your way Till you have to go home No's a word I can't say Cause it gets me nowhere to tell you no And it gets me nowhere to make you go Will a little more love make you start depending Will a little more love bring a happy ending Will a little more love make it right? Will a little more love make it right? Where, where did my innocence go? How, how was a young girl to know? I'm trapped, trapped in the spell of your eyes In the warmth of your arms In the web of your lies But it gets me nowhere to tell you no And it gets me nowhere to make you go Will a little more love make you start depending Will a little more love bring a happy ending Will a little more love make it right? Will a little more love make it right? Olivia Newton-John - Physical Music video by Olivia Newton-John performing Physical.

The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #20 on the Billboard Country chart and was featured on the original motion picture soundtrack. The song is still popular today as it was also featured on the hit show Glee. In 1979 the songs was nominated for an Oscar for Best Song at the Academy Awards. Since an original official music video was never made for this song, the movie clip is the de-facto standard. Note, the spirit of Grease lives on as Grease Live aired January 31, on the Fox network.

Lyrics: Hopelessly Devoted To You Songwriter: John Farrar Guess mine is not the first heart broken, My eyes are not the first to cry, I'm not the first to know there's Just no getting over you I'm Hopelessly Devoted To You But now there's no where to hide Since you pushed my love aside I'm out of my head Hopelessly Devoted To You I know I'm just a fool who's willing To sit around and wait for you But baby can't you see there's nothing else for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now there's no where to hide Since you pushed my heart aside I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you My head is saying fool forget him My heart is saying don't let him go Hold on to the end that's what I intend to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you But now there's no where to hide Since you pushed my love aside I'm outta my head hopelessly devoted to you Hopelessly devoted to you Olivia Newton John - Twist of fate 3:44 Olivia Newton-John - Magic 4:23 1980) Olivia Newton-John AO, OBE (born 26

Published on Dec 21, 2014 Original Post by: "Xanadu" is the title song from the soundtrack album Xanadu, and is the title song from the 1980 film of the same name. A rare collaboration for ELO, the song is performed by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and Olivia Newton-John. Newton-John sings the primary vocals, with ELO (Jeff Lynne) adding "parenthetic" vocals in the style of their other songs on the Xanadu soundtrack, along with providing the instrumentation. The single reached number 1 in several countries, and was the band's only UK number 1 single,[2] when it peaked there for two weeks in July 1980.

The song peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.[3] This was the first song beginning with the letter 'X' to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and it remained the only one until 2010's "X" by Xzibit. Electric Light Orchestra - Wikipedia, Photos and Videos Electric Light Orchestra NEXT GO TO RESULTS [51 .. 100] WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE "ELO" redirects here. For other uses, see ELO (disambiguation) . Electric Light Orchestra ELO performing live, during their Time Tour in 1981. Background information See members section The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1970, by songwriters/multi-instrumentalists Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood with drummer Bev Bevan . Their music is characterised by a fusion of Beatlesque pop , classical arrangements , and futuristic iconography . [5] After Wood's departure in 1972, Lynne became the band's leader, arranging and producing every album while writing virtually all of their original material.

The band was formed to accommodate Lynne's and Wood's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones, deriving as an offshoot of Wood's previous band the Move , of which Lynne and Bevan were also members. ELO were most active during the 1970s and 1980s, recording a string of studio albums that include the conceptual works Eldorado (1974) and Time (1981). For their initial tenure, Lynne, Bevan, and keyboard player Richard Tandy were the group's only consistent members. In 1986, Lynne lost interest in the band and ceased its operation. Bevan responded by forming his own band, ELO Part II , which later became The Orchestra . With the exception of a short-lived reformation in 2000–01, ELO remained largely inactive for the next three decades. In 2014, Lynne reformed the band once again with Tandy as Jeff Lynne's ELO, where he resumed concert touring and new recordings under the moniker.

During ELO's original 13-year period of active recording and touring, they sold over 50 million records worldwide, [7] collecting 19 CRIA , 21 RIAA and 38 BPI awards, [8] [9] Despite early singles' success in the United Kingdom, the band was initially more successful in the United States, where they were billed as "the English guys with the big fiddles". [10] From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated twenty Top 20 songs on the UK Singles Chart , and fifteen Top 20 songs on the US Billboard Hot 100 . The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hits, 20, of any band in the US chart history without having a number one single.

[11] [12] [nb 1] Contents Name[ edit ] The band's name is an intended pun based not only on electric light (as in a light bulb as seen on early album covers) but also using "electric" rock instruments combined with a " light orchestra " (orchestras with only a few cellos and violins that were popular in Britain during the 1960s).[ citation needed ] History[ edit ] 1970–1973: Formation and early albums[ edit ] In the late 1960s, Roy Wood —guitarist, vocalist and songwriter of the Move —had an idea to form a new band that would use violins , cellos , string basses, horns and woodwinds to give their music a classical sound, taking rock music in the direction to "pick up where the Beatles left off". [15] Jeff Lynne , frontman of fellow Birmingham group the Idle Race , was excited by the concept. In January 1970, when Carl Wayne left the Move, Lynne accepted Wood's second invitation to join the band on the condition that they focus their energy on the new project.

On 12 July 1970, when Wood added multiple cellos to a Lynne-penned song intended to be a Move B-side, the new concept became a reality and " 10538 Overture " became the first Electric Light Orchestra song. To help finance the fledgling band, one further Move album Message from the Country was also recorded during the lengthy ELO recordings. The resulting debut album The Electric Light Orchestra was released in 1971. It was released in the United States in 1972 as No Answer, the name being chosen because a record company secretary had tried to ring the UK company and get the name of the album—since they were unable to contact them they left a note saying "No Answer". [16] "10538 Overture" became a UK top-ten hit. Lynne, Wood and Bev Bevan were the founding members of Electric Light Orchestra.

ELO's debut concert took place on 16 April 1972 at the Greyhound Pub in Croydon , Surrey [17] with a line-up of Wood, Lynne, Bevan, Hunt, Andy Craig (cello), Mike Edwards (cello), Wilfred Gibson (violin), Hugh McDowell (cello), and Richard Tandy (bass). However, this line-up did not last for long.[ not in citation given ] First Craig departed, and then Wood, during the recordings for the band's second LP and taking Hunt and McDowell with him, left the band to form Wizzard . Both cited problems with their manager, Don Arden , [18] and an unsatisfactory tour of Italy, where the cellos and violins could not be heard over the electric instruments. Despite predictions from the music press that the band would fold without Wood, who had been the driving force behind the creation of ELO, Lynne stepped up to lead the band, with Bevan, Edwards, Gibson, and Tandy (who had switched from bass to keyboards to replace Hunt) remaining from the previous line-up, and new recruits Mike de Albuquerque and Colin Walker joining the band on bass and cello respectively.

[19] The band's logo from 1973 to 1976. Designed by John Kehe at United Artists Records, it took its cues from the General Electric logo.[ citation needed ] The new line-up performed at the 1972 Reading Festival . Barcus Berry instrument pick-ups , now sported by the band's string trio, allowed them to have proper amplification on stage for their instruments, which had previously been all but drowned out by all the sound of the electrified instruments. The band released their second album, ELO 2 in 1973, which produced their second UK top 10 and their first US chart single, an elaborate version of the Chuck Berry classic " Roll Over Beethoven ". [20] ELO also made their first appearance on American Bandstand show. During the recording of the third album, Gibson was let go after a dispute over money, Mik Kaminski joined as violinist, and Walker left since touring was keeping him away from his family too much, while remaining cellist Edwards finished the cello parts. The resulting album, On the Third Day , was released in late 1973, with the American version featuring the popular single " Showdown ".

1974–1982: Global success and concept albums[ edit ] For the band's fourth album, Eldorado, A Symphony , a concept album about a daydreamer, Lynne stopped overdubbing strings and hired an orchestra and choir instead. Louis Clark was hired by the band as string arranger. [21] The first single off the album, " Can't Get It Out of My Head ", became their first US top 10 hit, and Eldorado, A Symphony became ELO's first gold album . Mike de Albuquerque departed the band during the recording sessions as he wished to spend more time with his family; and consequently much of the bass on the album was performed by Lynne. Following the release of Eldorado Kelly Groucutt was recruited as bassist, and in early 1975 Melvyn Gale replaced Edwards on cello. The line-up stabilised as the band took to a decidedly more accessible sound.

ELO had become successful in the US at this point and the group was a star attraction on the stadium and arena circuit, and regularly appeared on The Midnight Special (1973, 1975, 1976 & 1977) more than any other band in that show's history with four appearances. Face the Music was released in 1975, producing the hit singles " Evil Woman ", their third UK top 10, and " Strange Magic ". [20] The opening instrumental " Fire on High ", with its mix of strings and blazing acoustic guitars, saw heavy exposure as background music on CBS Sports Spectacular montages. The group toured extensively from 3 February to 13 April 1976, playing 68 shows in 76 days in the US. " Livin' Thing " was a Top 10 hit for the UK Singles Chart , peaking at number four.

[22] [ better source needed ] Their sixth album, the platinum selling A New World Record , became their first UK top ten album when it was released in 1976. [20] It contained the hit singles " Livin' Thing ", " Telephone Line ", " Rockaria! " and " Do Ya ", a re-recording of the Move song. The band toured in support in the US only from September 1976 to April 1977 with a break in December, then an American Music Awards show appearance on 31 January 1977, [23] plus a one-off gig in San Diego in August 1977. Casey Kasem said that the Electric Light Orchestra is the "World's first touring rock 'n' roll chamber group " before he played "Livin' Thing" at #28. [24] A New World Record was followed by a multi-platinum selling album, the double-LP Out of the Blue , in 1977. Out of the Blue featured the singles " Turn to Stone ", " Sweet Talkin' Woman ", " Mr.

Blue Sky ", and " Wild West Hero ", each becoming a hit in the United Kingdom. The band then set out on a nine-month, 92-date world tour, with an enormous set and a hugely expensive space ship stage with fog machines and a laser display. In the United States the concerts were billed as The Big Night and were their largest to date, with 62,000 people seeing them at Cleveland Stadium . [25] The Big Night went on to become the highest-grossing live concert tour in music history up to that point (1978). [26] The band played at London's Wembley Arena for eight straight sold-out nights during the tour, another record at that time. In 1979, the multi- platinum album Discovery was released, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart . [20] Although the biggest hit on the album (and ELO's biggest hit overall) was the rock song " Don't Bring Me Down ", the album was noted for its heavy disco influence. Discovery also produced the hits " Shine a Little Love ", their first and only no.

1 hit from 1972 to the present with any of the 4 major or minor US singles charts on Radio & Records (R&R) , [27] [28] " Last Train to London ", " Confusion " and " The Diary of Horace Wimp ". Another song, "Midnight Blue", was released as a single in Southeast Asia. The band recorded promotional videos for all the songs on the album. ELO performing live in Oslo, Norway in 1978. By the end of 1979 ELO had reached the peak of their stardom, selling millions of albums and singles, and even inspiring a parody / tribute song on the Randy Newman album Born Again , titled "The Story of a Rock and Roll Band". During 1979 Jeff Lynne also turned down an invitation for ELO to headline the August 1979 Knebworth Festival concerts. That allowed Led Zeppelin the chance to headline instead. In 1980 Jeff Lynne was asked to write for the soundtrack of the musical film Xanadu , with the other half written by John Farrar and performed by the film's star Olivia Newton-John .

The movie performed poorly at the box office, but the soundtrack did exceptionally well, eventually going double platinum . The album spawned hit singles from both Newton-John (" Magic ", a #1 hit in the United States, and " Suddenly " with Cliff Richard ) and ELO (" I'm Alive ", which went gold, " All Over the World " and " Don't Walk Away "). The title track, performed by both Newton-John and ELO, is ELO's only song to top the singles chart in the United Kingdom. [29] More than a quarter of a century later, Xanadu , a Broadway musical, based on the film, opened on 10 July 2007 at the Helen Hayes Theatre to uniformly good reviews. It received 4 Tony Award nominations. The musical received its UK premiere in London in October 2015. [30] The album Time (1981) represented a shift toward more electronic sounds. [31] Problems playing this file? See media help . In 1981, ELO's sound changed again with the science fiction concept album Time , a throwback to earlier, more progressive rock albums like Eldorado.

With the string section now departed, synthesisers took a dominating role, as was the trend in the larger music scene of the time; although studio strings were present on some of the tracks conducted by Rainer Pietsch, the overall soundscape had a more electronic feel in keeping with the futuristic nature of the album. Time topped the UK charts for two weeks and was the last ELO studio album to be certified platinum in the United Kingdom until Alone in the Universe in 2015. Singles from the album included " Hold On Tight ", " Twilight ", " The Way Life's Meant to Be ", " Here Is the News " and " Ticket to the Moon ". The band embarked on their last world tour to promote the LP. For the tour Kaminski returned to the line-up on violin, whilst synthesiser players Louis Clark and Dave Morgan also joined the band.

1983–1986: Secret Messages, Balance of Power, disbanding[ edit ] Lynne and Tandy performing with ELO in 1986 Jeff Lynne wanted to follow Time with a double album, but CBS blocked his plan on the grounds that a double vinyl album would be too expensive in the oil crisis and as a result, the new album was edited down from double album to a single disc and released as Secret Messages in 1983 (many of the out-takes were later released on Afterglow or as b-sides of singles). The album was a hit in the UK reaching the top 5; but its release was undermined by a string of bad news that there would be no tour to promote the LP, as drummer Bevan was now playing drums for Black Sabbath and bassist Groucutt had left the band during the recording of the album (leaving Lynne to once again record many of the bass parts).

Rumours of the group disbanding were publicly denied by Bevan and although Secret Messages debuted at number four in the United Kingdom, it fell off the charts, failing to catch fire with a lack of hit singles in the UK (though " Rock 'n' Roll Is King " was a sizeable hit in UK, the US and Australia) and a lukewarm media response. By 1983 Bevan was expressing a desire to join Black Sabbath permanently and Lynne and Tandy were recording tracks for the Electric Dreams soundtrack under Lynne's name; however, Lynne was contractually obliged to make one more ELO album. Lynne, Bevan and Tandy returned to the studio in 1985 as a three-piece (with Christian Schneider playing saxophone on some tracks and Lynne again doubling on bass in addition to his usual guitar in the absence of an official bass player) to record Balance of Power , released early in 1986. Though the single " Calling America " placed in the Top 30 in the United Kingdom (number 28) and Top 20 in the States , subsequent singles failed to chart.

The album lacked actual classical strings, which were replaced once again by synthesisers, played by Tandy. The band was then rejoined by Kaminski, Clark, and Morgan, and proceeded to perform a small number of live ELO performances in 1986, including shows in England and Germany along with US appearances on American Bandstand , [32] Solid Gold , then at Disneyland that summer. [33] The Birmingham Heart Beat Charity Concert 1986 was a charity concert organised by Bevan in ELO's hometown of Birmingham on 15 March 1986. [34] A hint of Lynne's future was seen when George Harrison appeared onstage during the encore at Heartbeat, joining in the all-star jam of " Johnny B. Goode ". ELO's last performance for several years occurred on 13 July 1986 in Stuttgart , Germany playing as opening act to Rod Stewart.

ELO effectively disbanded after that final show in Stuttgart in 1986, but there was no announcement made of it for the next two years, during which George Harrison's Lynne-produced album Cloud Nine and the pair's follow-up (with Roy Orbison , Bob Dylan and Tom Petty as Traveling Wilburys ) Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 were released. ELO Part II[ edit ] Main article: ELO Part II ELO Part II in concert Bevan (under an agreement with Lynne who co-owned the ELO name with him) continued on in 1989 as ELO Part II , initially with no other former ELO members. ELO Part II released their debut album Electric Light Orchestra Part Two in 1990. Mik Kaminski, Kelly Groucutt and Hugh McDowell joined the band for the first tour in 1991. McDowell left after that tour. Bevan, Groucutt, Kaminski and Clark recorded a second album, Moment of Truth , in 1994 and toured extensively until 1999.

Bevan retired from the line-up in 1999 and sold his share of the ELO name to Jeff Lynne in 2000. 2000–2001: Reformation[ edit ] Lynne's comeback with ELO began in 2000 with the release of a retrospective box set, Flashback , containing three CDs of remastered tracks and a handful of out-takes and unfinished works, most notably a new version of ELO's only UK number one hit " Xanadu ". In 2001 Zoom , ELO's first album since 1986, was released. [35] Though billed and marketed as an ELO album, the only returning member other than Lynne was Tandy, who performed on one track. Guest musicians included former Beatles Ringo Starr and George Harrison . Upon completion of the album, Lynne reformed the band with completely new members, including his then-girlfriend Rosie Vela (who had released her own album, Zazu, in 1986) and announced that ELO would tour again.

Former ELO member Tandy rejoined the band a short time afterwards for two television live performances: VH1 Storytellers and a PBS concert shot at CBS Television City , later titled Zoom Tour Live , that was released on DVD. The planned tour was cancelled. [36] For the next six years, Harvest and Epic / Legacy reissued ELO's back catalogue. Included amongst the remastered album tracks were unreleased songs and outtakes, including two new singles. The first was " Surrender " which registered on the lower end of the UK Singles Chart at number 81, some 30 years after it was written in 1976. The other single was "Latitude 88 North". 2010–2013: Non-performing work and miniature reunions[ edit ] On 9 August 2010, Eagle Rock Entertainment released Live – The Early Years in the UK as a DVD compilation that included Fusion – Live in London (1976) along with never before released live performances at Brunel University (1973) and on a German TV show Rockpalast (1974).

[37] The US had a slightly edited release on 24 August 2010. [38] The Essential Electric Light Orchestra artwork was re-jigged to feature two different covers. The US and Australian releases shared one design, while the rest of the world featured the other for a new double album release in October 2011. [39] Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra was released on 8 October 2012. It is an album of new recordings of ELO's greatest hits by Lynne; along with a new song "Point of No Return", released to coincide with Lynne's second solo album release Long Wave . [40] These new 2012 albums contained advertisement cards, announcing the re-release of expanded and remastered versions of both the 2001 album Zoom and Lynne's debut solo album Armchair Theatre , originally released in 1990. Both albums were re-released in April 2013 with various bonus tracks. Also released was the live album, Electric Light Orchestra Live , showcasing songs from the Zoom tour . All three releases also featured new studio recordings as bonus tracks.

[41] Lynne and Tandy reunited again on 12 November 2013 to perform, under the name Jeff Lynne and Friends, "Livin' Thing" and "Mr Blue Sky" at the Children in Need Rocks concert at Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, London. The backing orchestra was the BBC Concert Orchestra, with Chereene Allen on lead violin. [42] 2014–present: Jeff Lynne's ELO[ edit ] Jeff Lynne's ELO performing at Hyde Park , September 2014 The success of the Children in Need was followed by much support from BBC Radio 2 's DJ Chris Evans , who asked his listeners if they wanted ELO to perform. The 50,000 tickets for the resulting BBC Radio 2's "Festival in a Day" in Hyde Park on 14 September 2014 sold out in 15 minutes. Billed as "Jeff Lynne's ELO", Lynne and Tandy were backed by the Take That / Gary Barlow band from the Children In Need concert, led by Mike Stevens [43] and the BBC Concert Orchestra.

The moniker came out from Lynne as a response to ELO tribute and imitation bands, (ELO Part II, the Orchestra, OrKestra and the Music of ELO) who repeatedly used ELO for promoting their own tours. [44] Chereene Allen [42] took to the front line with the band. The development of modern digital processing added a smoother finish than previously, which has led Lynne to reconsider his preference for studio work, hinting at a UK tour in 2015. [45] On 8 February 2015, Jeff Lynne's ELO played at the Grammy Awards for the first time. [46] They performed a medley of " Evil Woman " and " Mr. Blue Sky " with Ed Sheeran , who introduced them as "A man and a band who I love". [47] On 10 September 2015, it was announced that a new ELO album would be released. The album was to be under the moniker of Jeff Lynne's ELO, with the band signed to Columbia Records . [48] Alone in the Universe was released on the 13 November 2015.

The album was ELO's first album of new material in nearly 15 years and was certified Platinum. [49] The first track, and single, "When I Was a Boy" was made available for streaming on the same day and a music video for the song was also released. [49] A small promotional tour followed the album's release which saw ELO perform a full concert for BBC Radio 2 along with ELO's first two shows in the United States in 30 years, both which sold out very quickly. ELO also made rare U.S. television appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS This Morning . [50] Lynne was joined by Traveling Wilbury's photographer Nick J (NJ Latham) for a 10 date European tour that was announced for 2016, [51] with the band playing the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival on 26 June 2016. [52] Further dates were announced for 2017, including Wembley Stadium, [53] Sheffield Arena.

[54] In October 2016, under their original moniker (Electric Light Orchestra), the band were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, [55] their first nomination. [56] In November 2016, Jeff Lynne's ELO won Band of the Year at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards . [57] Legacy and influence[ edit ] When ELO emerged, they were often dismissed by musical cognoscenti as Beatles copyists. According to music journalist Simon Price , ELO was "arguably the most uncool, even defiantly anti-cool, of the lot, and have been the slowest to be rehabilitated since ... They've been sampled by dozens upon dozens of acts, from Company Flow to the Pussycat Dolls , if you go looking. Every now and then, in my journalistic career, it's been possible to coax a contemporary band to admit to an ELO influence, the Flaming Lips and Super Furry Animals being two examples.

But the band in whom I perceive the greatest amount of ELO DNA are outside the rock genre altogether: Daft Punk ." [58] In October 2016, ELO were nominated for the 2017 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time. [59] It was also the first time that the Hall had announced in advance the members of bands who would be inducted; the members of ELO listed were Jeff Lynne , Roy Wood , Bev Bevan and Richard Tandy . [60]
