thewayne*sigh* I so wish Jeff Lynne would reconstitute the full band. Of course, several members are dead, including a bunch of the string section, and now Tandy is gone.
Tandy started as the bass player after the first album, then Roy Wood, the then keyboardist left, and Richard stepped in. He was revered as a keyboardist and it was said that he could play anything with a keyboard. He also did some background vocals, such as Mister Blue Sky. He left the band in 1986, but rejoined when Lynne formed Jeff Lynne's ELO in 2014. Tandy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the band in 2017.
I would have loved to have seen a jam session between him and Keith Emerson! That would have been wild.
