ELO. Mr Blue Sky

Written in Switzerland by Jeff Lynne, who hid himself away to write enough material for a double album. After a two week period of writers block dampened by the inclement weather outside, Lynne was suddenly inspired to write Mr. Blue Sky following a break in the weather when the entire area was bathed in sunshine, this was quickly followed by the remainder of the Out of the Blue songs including Concerto for a Rainy Day.

What, no Kelly, Bev or Mik?

I was (and still) a big fan of ELO - met Richard Tandy at a party once in Brum when I was a student - he was a really nice, down to earth guy.

Loved their harmonies and strings to rock/pop... guess Jeff is still producing now?
