Sad news:
It is with great sadness that I communicate to the readers of this blog the death of Michael "Kelly" Groucutt, former backing vocalist and bassist of ELO between 1974 and 1983, due to a heart attack today. He was 63 years old.
He will be sorely missed.
In order to pay tribute to his musical legacy, I have decided to share with you this video that features him singing most of the lead vocals for ELO during a medley that combines "10538 Overture" (from the band's first single and leading track of their 1971 self-titled debut album) and "Do Ya" (from the final single released by The Move in 1972). This performance is from 1976, shortly after Kelly had completed recording his first long player with the band, "Face The Music." It is Kelly himself who does the introduction to this track.
I had the chance to attend two of Kelly's concerts, once with ELO Part II and once with The Orchestra. An amazingly talented singer, and a beautiful human being.
God bless you, Kelly. Rest in peace.
