I mentioned Richard Tandy’s passing a couple of weeks ago.
He was a mainstay of The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) being Jeff Lynne’s right hand man in the group.
I note that the lyrics scrolling along the bottom of this video misrepresent the last vocoded words (which apparently Tandy voiced.) They are not “Mr Blue Sky” but instead “Please turn me over.” Mr Blue Sky was the last track on side three of the album Out of the Blue.
Electric Light Orchestra: Mr Blue Sky
Richard Tandy: 26/3/1948 – 1/5/2024. So it goes.
