Electric Light Orchestra View Sheet Music for this Artist
Electric Light Orchestra, also known as ELO, were a rock group from Birmingham, England who released eleven studio albums between 1971–1986 and another album in 2001. ELO (the brainchild of Roy Wood) were formed to accommodate Roy's burning desire to create pop songs with heavily classical overtones. The band's direction for most of their existence was by Jeff Lynne who, after the band's debut record, wrote all of the group's original compositions and produced every album.
It was in the United States that the band were first successful, billed as 'The English guys with the big fiddles'. They soon gained a cult following despite lukewarm reviews back in their native United Kingdom. They were managed by agent Don Arden, father of Sharon Osbourne.
By the mid-1970s they had become one of the biggest selling bands in music. From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated more combined UK and U.S. Top 40 hit singles than any other band in the world, with 46. The group also scored twenty Top 20 UK hit singles, as well as fifteen Top 20 appearances in the U.S. Billboard charts. The band also hold the record for having the most Billboard Top 40 hits of any band in U.S. chart history without ever having a #1 single.
