My dear mother who passed away in August of 2018, was born in 1942. I was born in 1962. I was born 2 days before her 20th birthday, on 12-24! Now she is the one who introduced me to ELO! IT was this song!!!! She had it blaring on the stereo!! I about fell over! I had no idea that my Mom was darn cool. I was in junior high when she did this!!! This song, I dedicate to my mother! Some day, hopefully we will rock in heaven with Jesus together! Thanks for great music!!!! Bless you for posting!!! Made my night!!! I miss my mother so much, we would sing this song at the top of our voices!!! RIP MOM, happy Moms Day. Love Michelle

@@NeonCoffeeCat I think most people know that, but Jeff Lynne wrote and composed almost all of the ELO hits (apart from the early Roy Wood songs), he plays several instruments, is an extremely good guitarist and he produced, played and sang on albums not only for ELO, but also for Paul McCartney, Del Shannon, George Harrison, the Travelling Wilburn's and Tom Petty. You don't get to do that unless you're very talented. So yes, quite underrated.

Jeff definitely has one of the best voices in rock n roll.He's overlooked because people often don't appreciate the best until it's gone.That voice is unique and instantly recognised.He rocks!And that guitar playing is fab!

They don't make 'em like that anymore. Utterly BRILLIANT

Bless all that love E.LO.. fantastic

Quelle ambiance ça réveille avec Richard et jeff et tout ses musiciens quel régale

Saw ELO perform this song at the Long Beach Arena sometime in the early 70s. One of the most exciting performances I’ve ever seen.

I listen to Jeff and ELO as it gets me out of bed and in a good mood as I have depression and anxiety badly and it’s hard to do. Thank you Jeff and ELO.

Remember this from when I was a kid, loved it. First ELO song I remember hearing. 👏👏😊❤️👍🏼

This song was not fully realized until ELO did their incredible dynamic and exciting arrangement of it.

Unbelievable old school guitar and piano. Jeff Lynne is soooo talented.

There is no sound on Earth like Jeff Lynne getting down with his guitar and this song.....pick a decade, any decade.....

Outstanding, why. Voice, what an arrangement, what great musicians and the great smile on his back up singer just makes me happy. Never stop!

Cпасибо, Джеф! Воэратился в 70-тые, когда всё было чистым и искренним...

Best cover EVER! Captures the spirit of the original in style!

Одне з самих найяскравiшiх виконань цьоi пiсенки!!!!! БРАВО!!!

Doesn't get any better than this!! ELO is Fantastic.

That Chuck Berry riff is one of the greatest pieces of rock music ever devised.

ELO the best in live..

Outfuckingstanding. Jeff Lynne is one of the most underrated musicians in the world. He's worked with and produced the Beatles, Dylan, Harrison, Roy Orbison you name it. perfect engineer, perfection in musical recording itself. master craftsman

thank you, yourself Mr. Lynne. I've been castrated these 35 years for being a fan of EL0, and for certain this is the most listenable rock song youv'e ever done live. Maybe it will take another 35 years for all the tone deaf rock fans to adapt to real genius-- but you and Mr Wilson have been keeping my heart alive

Thanks for writing this song Chuck, but elo took it to a whole other level. This is my favorite version.

One of the best guitar pickers of all time. Thank God they got into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.

Super version d' ELO !!! I love it !
