Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. Hey I got a few requests for this and
that's ELO and the singer-songwriter is Jeff Lynne. Now Jeff was just a
phenomenally talented guy, I mean he even did orchestration- string orchestrations
for the Beatles and you know and whatnot. So he comes from a very cool orchestral
background and very smart, kind of like Queen you know meets a lot of the cool
like you know kind of rock opera-ishy bands from back in the 70s and Jeff was
no exception just to excellence. So in addition to a couple of the tunes we're
gonna do here, I went ahead and I made a list of myself
to remind me of songs that he's done like "Don't Bring Me Down", "Telephone
Line" "Turned To Stone", "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", "Strange Magic" and some other
stuff. So if you guys are so inclined you should kind of Google some of these
songs cause he's just a phenomenal songwriter. You probably heard them
somewhere before like maybe in an elevator or possibly at a grocery store but
you have heard this music somewhere I'm sure of it. But anyway I want to go ahead
and react to Jeff Lynn and ELO and let's do this here we go.
Love that.
Great songs man. Grew up on this stuff. It's kinda like the soundtrack to my life..this stuff.
Did you guys grow up with this? Probably not.
it's nice
It's like Stevie Wonder.
Nice groove. Good song.
Now it's kind of interesting you know being as orchestrally minded as he is, he's
just going (sings) but he's so creative with
the way he phrases his stuff, the melodic choices that he has, the orchestration
behind it. He can hang on just a few chords and make it sound really cool and
come up with a lot of creative stuff and keep your attention as opposed to the
monotony of the chords going by. He's able to really draw out a lot from that
so here's the next section.
He sings very light.
Some sexy piano.
See its got the same groove over and over again but there's so much to play off of you know.
Sing it with me.
Oh here we go. I haven't seen this either. It's good.
Another great song man.
You know it's got that kind of strumming kind of like the Traveling Wilburys or something
you know like a Roy Orbison, Orbison say that 3 times fast (sounds)
anyway but it's got that just kind of you know everyone can sing along vibe
like the Eagles you know "Take It Easy" you know it's got that just that great song
writing vibe, this is awesome.
There's the ABBA vocals.
I remember roller skating to this when I was about 10.
Something like that.
I love these period pieces these um you know dated pieces like this because you
get to see what everybody was wearing, kind of like you know. Hey this is retro now,
this is actually cool so don't make fun of me but anyway but I just I like you
know period pieces where you get to see kind of what they really wore. You know annoys
me like when I see movies like that 70s show is a TV show not a movie
but movies you know they try to you know put it back in the period of like 1970s
or 60s or whatever and when you live through it you go that's not like the
70s, you're trying to make it look like the 70s but man you ain't cool
you ain't hardcore until you live hardcore right. So you weren't..you didn't grow up in it so a lot of
these people just you know buy different um you know movie attire and
whatnot and and outfits and you know and they're trying to put it together make
it look 70s this is legit, this is the real thing right here.
Look at the green outfit.
Like Fiddler on a Roof.
Come on tell me he doesn't look like Pete Townsend from The Who right there
playing violin just sayin, here we go.
A little bit.
Who's that from (sings)
what's that song come on help me out guys write it in the in the not
description, in the comment sections. I forget what it is. I'll think of it in a
minute, here we go.
Kind of interesting to have the drummer that far forward like that they're usually in back right.
Cool. Great stuff man like I said this stuff was kinda the soundtrack to my
life though I was more in to Led Zeppelin and you know Deep Purple, Aerosmith and
whatnot but just talented great, fabulous band ELO. I strongly recommend checking
