Today's "Music Interlude" continuing:
ELO is one of my favorite groups from back in the day... My second song for today's Music Interlude is a favorite of many... It's titled "Evil Woman" and was recorded live at London's Wembley Stadium
About "Evil Woman"
" "Evil Woman" is a song recorded by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and written by lead vocalist Jeff Lynne. It was first released on the band's fifth album, 1975's Face the Music.
Lynne wrote the song quickly when Face the Music was almost complete but he didn't think they had a good lead single. Lynne said:
I wrote this in a matter of minutes. The rest of the album was done. I listened to it and thought, 'There’s not a good single.' So I sent the band out to a game of football and made up 'Evil Woman' on the spot. The first three chords came right to me. It was the quickest thing I’d ever done. We kept it slick and cool, kind of like an R&B song. It was kind of a posh one for me, with all the big piano solos and the string arrangement. It was inspired by a certain woman, but I can’t say who. She’s appeared a few times in my songs.
Lynne described the structure saying it has a "repetitive chord sequence and then the melody turns into a chorus."
When released as a single in late 1975, the song became the band's first worldwide hit. According to Lynne, this song was the quickest he had ever written, in 30 minutes, originally as 'filler' for the group's Face the Music album. The song placed in the top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic in early 1976. It was released again in 1978 on The ELO EP." Read more at Wikipedia.com
