Just heard about this today: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...0S91.DTL&tsp=1

I really liked ELO in the 70's, and even their 80's stuff. It's too bad, 63 is kind of young to die. R.I.P. I'll listen to the Out of the Blue album tonight.

Sorry to hear it. ELO did have some pretty good stuff during the '70s, my rock music era. May he RIP.

A sad day, indeed. I always liked ELO.

Yeah, ELO is one of my favorites too.

ELO were the first band I ever saw Live, in 1981 at Wembley Arena in London. It was part of the tour following the release of their Time album. I practically wore out the vinyl on that album and Discovery I played them so much on a cheap record player (Yes kids, before mpeethrees and Compact Discs we had something called vinyl records, and they were much treasured possessions)

Sad news about Kelly Groucutt, a heart attack is so sudden, must be terrible for his four children. RIP, and thanks for the sweet music.
