Jeff Lynne. He still walks among us, folks. Under-appreciated genius. Under-appreciated legend! The man is truly one of rock n’ roll’s all time greats. Roll over Beethoven!
His musical compositions are incomparable to me. He creates such beautiful and moving melodies. My soul transcends this world listening to Jeff Lynne and ELO.
Who else has more successfully and beautifully incorporated orchestral elements like strings and piano into their rock n’ roll music than has Jeff Lynne? Not an easily achieved deal. Such rich depth is achieved with added orchestral components. There have been others that have also integrated orchestral-type instrumentation into their music (Roy Orbison, The Beatles et. al.), but none have actually surpassed Jeff Lynne’s genius in my mind.
Appreciate this man while he is still with us. Great Jeff Lynne YouTube video below:
