Mr. Blue Sky: The Story of Jeff Lynne & ELO
Documentary how he has had such a significant effect on our society and which gets into the heart of that Jeff Lynne is. The celebrity and distinguished collaborators and friends of Jeff tells the story as Barbara Orbison, Ringo Starr, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, both Olivia and Dhani Harrison, Paul McCartney and Eric Idle. The film shows that Lynne can be a person of music, for whom the recording studio is his first instrument. Together with use of Lynne in his studio above LA, this can be an intimate account of a excellent British pop classicist who has ploughed a special furrow since starting out on the Birmingham Beat scene in early 60s, moving from the Idle Race to the multi-million selling ELO at the 70s and then, together with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and also George Harrison, being a key member of the Traveling Wilburys.
