La Bouche

Their most successful hit Be My Lover was top 10 across Europe and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996. A tribute to Lynne called Lynne Me Your Ears, was released in 2002, and featured two CDs full of artists performing Lynne/ELO songs, including Todd Rundgren, SWAG (featuring members of Wilco, The Mavericks and Cheap Trick), Sixpence None The Richer, Doug Powell, PFR, Fleming and John, The Balls of France (Jerry Chamberlain of Daniel Amos), Rick Altizer and others. La Bouche was a Eurodance act based in Germany, fronted by American singer Melanie Thornton, who was killed in a plane crash in November 2001. A tour and DVD followed. Lynne teamed up with ELO keyboardist Richard Tandy to reform ELO in 2001 for an album called Zoom. In February of 1994, Lynne fulfilled a life long dream by working with the three surviving Beatles on their Anthology album series, and reunion tracks "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love".

In 1990 he released the solo album "Armchair Theater". Lynne was born in Birmingham, UK. Prior to Electric Light Orchestra Lynne was a member of The Move and Idle Race. Jeff Lynne (born December 30, 1947) is a British singer-songwriter and was the founder of the Electric Light Orchestra in the 1970s as well as a co-founder, and a member, of the Traveling Wilburys in the 1980s.
