După plecarea lui Wood imediat după apariția albumului de debut, Lynne a scris și a aranjat toate compozițiile originale ale formației și a produs toate albumele.ĭeși a avut succes încă de la primele singleuri în Regatul Unit, grupul a cunoscut un și mai mare succes în Statele Unite, iar până la mijlocul anilor '70 devenise una dintre cele mai bine vândute trupe. ELO a fost creată din dorința lui Roy Wood și Jeff Lynne de a îmbina rockul modern cu muzica pop și muzica clasică. Jeff Lynne's comeback with ELO started in 2001 with the release of the album Zoom.Electric Light Orchestra ( ELO) a fost o formație britanică de muzică rock din Birmingham, care a lansat 11 albume de studio între 1971 și 1986 și un alt album în 2001. A second album was released in 1994 ( Power of a million lights). With Lynne's agreement, another version of the band (without him) was formed in 1990 by drummer Bev Bevan, when "Electric Light Orchestra, Part II" was put together, releasing an album that went straight to the bargain bins. Their popularity faded, with two more albums ( Secret Messages in 1983, and Balance of Power in 1986) before Lynne moved on to other things. In 1981, ELO's sound changed again, moving away from disco and into the 1980s, with the album, Time (single: "Hold On Tight").

The movie bombed but the soundtrack did very well, with hit singles from both Newton-John ("Magic") and ELO ("I'm Alive") as well as the title track to the movie, performed by Newton-John with ELO. Soon after, ELO was enlisted to provide half of the soundtrack for the musical film Xanadu, the other half provided by Olivia Newton-John, who starred in the movie along with Gene Kelly. The album generated their biggest hit "Don't Bring Me Down", along with "Shine A Little Love" and "Last Train To London". In 1979, Lynne set out to capitalize on the growing popularity of disco with the album Discovery (or "Disco very" as he has been quoted).
The band then set out on a world tour, with an enormous (and hugely expensive) space ship set in tow.
That was followed by the double album Out Of The Blue, featuring the singles "Turn To Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman" and "Mr. The multi- platinum album A New World Record was released in 1976 (with "Livin' Thing", a re-release of The Move's "Do Ya", and "Telephone Line"). In 1975, bassist and vocalist Kelly Groucutt joined, and Face The Music was released, from which the major singles were "Evil Woman" and "Strange Magic", marking a shift to a more "radio friendly" sound. Top 40 hit with "I Can't Get It Out Of My Head". They also released On The Third Day in 1973, and Eldorado in 1974, scoring another U.S. The band went through a lineup change (as Wood took some musicians with him to form Wizzard) and released ELO II in 1973, from which came their first U.S. (The first album was released with the mistaken title of No Answer in the USA). Roy Wood left ELO shortly after the release of their eponymously-titled first album (which produced the UK hit "10538 Overture") and Jeff Lynne stepped up to lead the band. The band, formed by Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, and Bev Bevan in 1971 (the remaining members of The Move), used cellos and violins to give their music a "classical" sound. Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) was a successful rock music group from the 1970s and 1980s.
