Well, we also may say, that the Pixar studio has long won the hearts of audiences of all ages. Someone will say, "Another cartoon tale", but we object: rarely a cartoon would be interesting to watch not only to children.

I will list the song name, the year of release and the position reached in the UK charts and if applicable the US. So, that was the beginnings of the band, let’s have a look at their discography. The new line up had played at the Reading Festival a few months earlier were, Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan, Wilf Gibson, Richard Tandy(now playing keyboards), Mike Edwards and Colin Walker(cellos) and Michael D’Albuquerque(bass). His faith soon paid off and by early 1973 they were back in the charts at number 6 with Roll Over Beethoven. He argued that Jeff Lynne could now show he was the driving force behind the band. He said the group were not very good anyway and the departure of Wood was a good thing. The remnants of the band were obviously dispirited and would have probably split if it was not for their manager Don Arden who had a bit of a reputation as one of the toughest men in the rock world. Wood and the others formed Wizzard and were soon back in the charts. It was never really explained why he left but it was said that it wasn’t voluntarily. It was obvious that things had to change, but it still came as a surprise when Roy Wood left taking three of the band members with him. The concert was a disaster with Roy Wood stumbling about the stage in dark glasses and wig as if he couldn’t see any his instruments that he was playing so badly. Two members of the band, Move bassist Rick Price and violinist Steve Woolam, had already left in despair at the shambles. Andy Craig (Cello), Richard Tandy(bass), Wilf Gibson(violin), Hugh McDowell(cello) and Bill Hunt(horn). On stage that night were Roy Wood(vocals, guitar and cello), Jeff Lynne( vocals and guitar), Bev Bevan on drums. They reluctantly made their first live appearance at Croydon’s Greyhound pub in April 1972. They had a massive tour cancelled at great cost, simply because the band where not ready. it was called 10538 Overture it was not well received by the critics but still made it to number 9 in the charts here in the UK. It took from October 1970 when the band formed until the summer of 1972 to release the band’s first single.
At the beginning it was a bit of a disaster. They wanted to blend guitars, cellos and violin in an effort to blend rock with classical music. They wanted to use the profits from that group to enter into something much more adventurous. The impetus for forming ELO came from Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne when they had grown tired of churning out top twenty hits for the band they were in call The Move. They are a band formed in Birmingham in the UK. For those of you don’t know them, they were known as the Electric Light Orchestra but it was shortened to ELO.
