"Lift Me Up" by Jeff Lynne

Legendary songwriter and producer Jeff Lynne has always been busy with his band projects, which include ELO, Traveling Wilburys, and The Move. Nonetheless, he has released a couple of solo songs and albums. His lone chart appearance as a solo artist came in 1984 when "Video!" - a song from the movie Electric Dreams - went to #85.

Lynne's first full-length solo record arrived in 1990, called "Armchair Theatre." After a rollicking start, it settles down into a rather sedated mood. But Lynne's talents for melody and harmony continue to shine throughout. In addition to "Life Me Up," be sure to check out "Every Little Thing" and "Blown Away."
