I think eventually Jeff Lynne will be considered the UK’s top artist, great use of his voice in this song, great production value as always, and a great guy as well. He only realised he and ELO were famous when one hot day he was walking down a local street to his home, and he heard this song coming out of most the house windows.

Some music just creates a reaction of the soul, and there are no words to really do it justice.

Hola. " Telephone line " ( 1976 ) , es una canción de estilo doo wop , herencia directa - creo - del sonido de bandas vocales norteamericanas de los años 50 's , tales como The Platters , The Drifters o The Skyliners. ( En 1977 , con el tema " Sweet talking woman " , harían lo mismo. ) Una tremenda balada con toques beatles , pero adentrada en el rock -pop sinfónico setentero . Hay , también , influencia de agrupaciones como The Marmalade , The Hollies , The Animals , The Cats , The Everly Brothers y tantas otras . Gracias por acordarte de esta tremenda banda de la ciudad inglesa de Birmingham. Un abrazo cordial. Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.

Jeff Lynn in a rear interview said that he thought of his music career as his job and couldn't see why he should have to give up his private life because of it, as he loved being able to go to his local pub with girlfriend and/or mates and play pool and have a drink,this i agree is a lovely idea and good on him but it did mean staying out of the lime light which stop the band being as big as their talent would have made them. But as ELO my favourite band growing up it didn't stop me getting excited and saving money up when a you album was due. A song you might like to react to that's not one of the nomal requests is Boy Blue from the album Eldorado " great story telling and musicianship as usual ".
