"Jewel & Johnny" by The Orchestra

The Orchestra is kind of like ELO without Jeff Lynne. Members of the band (along with members of ELO Part II) continued onward after Lynne left with the rights to the band's name. So they simply shortened it to The Orchestra.

The Orchestra also retained a lot of the sweeping, opera rock sound one might expect from ELO. They released a single album entitled "No Rewind" in 2001 (reissued in 2006) without any major label support. It didn't go anywhere, but is a sought after gem for many ELO fans. "Jewel & Johnny" is the best track in the bunch.
