Guitar Package Guru

Electric Light Orchestra better known as ELO was a band formed in the early 1970’s from the UK with a sound far different than any other rock group at the time. Their brand of rock had classical overtones to it, perhaps that was due to the violins and cellos that played along with either the electric guitar or acoustic guitar of Roy Wood and Jeff Lynn, they were known as (“the english guys with the big fiddles”).

From 1972 to 1986 they had 27 of 40 hits singles in the United States and the UK. They also hold a record for having the most billboard hits with out havin a number one hit. Besides the groups many successful albums Jeff Lynne also wrote the soundtrack for the musical Xanadu which was performed by Olivia Newton-John. Although the movie didn’t do well the music did, going double platinum it produced songs such as “Magic” and “Suddenly” sung by Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard.
