Born today in 1947

Jeff Lynne, magical songwriter and musician

I know I’ve said this before but did you know that the soprano at the beginning of Rockaria was Mary Thomas from Swansea?

Also if you listen to the start of the song she fucks up for a split second and starts again but in production Lynne wanted to leave the mistake in.
Listen to it right now and you’ll never not hear it.

Didn't know that. Gutted Lynne's ill health stopped him having his final performance. Saw ELO a few years ago in their Birmingham gig. They were superb. Been a fan of Mr Lynne since the days of Traveling Wilburys. Now that was one hell of a supergroup.

Someone said a little while ago what/who band/artist would you bring back from the dead and I said the Wilburys deserve a shout.
I wonder if the three Beatles would have played together too.
I like a bit of Roy too.
