Electric Light Orchestra 在英國伯明罕成立,樂評人將他們定位於為 Orchestral rock「 管弦樂搖滾」,創團成員來自前 The Move 合唱團的三名成員,他們是 Wood、Bev Bevan 和 Jeff Lynne, Wood 在第一張專輯發行後離開 ELD,Lynne 成為樂隊的領導者 ,直到 1986 年,ELO 的三名主要成員是:主唱、吉他手、鍵盤手 Jeff Lynne 、鼓手 Roy Wood 及鍵琴手、吉他手 Richard Tandy 。Jeff Lynne 曾經是超級樂團 Traveling Wilburys 的成員,長期擔任貝斯手的 Kelly Groucutt 於 2009 年 2 月 19 日因心臟病去世(享年 63 歲)。
2017 年 Electric Light Orchestra 獲選進入搖滾樂名人堂。他們是歷年暢銷歌星合唱團排行榜獲得 135 名的受歡迎樂團。他們在排行榜名次最好的歌是 1977 年獲得第 7 名的 Telephone Line。
偽裝成兄弟樂團的超級團體 Traveling Wilburys 由 Nelson (George Harrison)、Lucky幸運兒(Bob Dylan) ,Otis (Jeff Lynne of ELO) , Lefty 左撇子(Roy Orbison)及 Charlie T. Junior(Tom Petty)等人組成。1988-89 年該團在歌壇掀起一波漣漪,但沒有 Top 40 的暢銷曲。
Jeff Lynne 的 ELO 在 2010 年代後期強化了他們管弦樂搖滾的弦樂伴奏,早期他們大提琴演奏的二位女將頗受人注目,後來則以小提琴的過場受到歌迷們歡迎。

Evil Woman
作詞/作曲:Jeff Lynne
You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey, woman, you got the blues 'Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame
Evil woman Evil woman
Evil woman Evil woman
Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hard to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do?
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train (train)
Evil woman Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman) Evil woman
Evil woman Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman) Evil woman
Evil woman, how you done me wrong
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song Ha, ha, funny, how you broke me up
You made the wine, now you drink a cup I came runnin' every time you cried Thought I saw love
smilin' in your eyes Ha, ha, very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go
Evil woman Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman) Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman) Evil woman (such an evil woman) Evil woman (you're an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)
