ELO

[ceagle]

An ole friend (Telbert) sent me an ELO link, and I proceeded forth to listen to many of the old songs, enjoying along the way...
And then I came across this fave ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jUvhJ_Tgzw ...

I can hardly hold back the tears on that one (mixed, but mostly tears of joy)... it sends me back to so many times and places I cherished, and the song had been there with me....

My interest was piqued in ELO when I first heard one of their songs on the radio from the 1980 movie "Xanadu" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081777/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1). From that song I felt compelled to purchase the CD soundtrack to the movie and loved ALL of their songs which then drove me to watch Xanadu. ELO's contribution along with the Big Band era instrumental music made for an interesting juxtaposition for this fantasy musical. The one rather risqué furry scene AND the Don Bluth animated sequence were the icing on the cake.

Glad ya dig Lynne and the band's work too!... and ah yes, that animation!! Watched it hundreds of times ^v^ ... I find it more magically romantic than risque though :D

Actually the risqué furry scene is live action and is totally different from the magically romantic Don Bluth animated sequence.
