Jeff never changes, fame and money hasn't gone to his head he's just a lovely guy.

This man is an absolute genius. His catalogue of music is simply astounding. An understated gentleman of the highest order.

A shy unassuming, understated, lovely gentleman with a huge talent - love his music.

What an unassuming amazing talent ...and he's from Birmingham! Jeff Lynne WE LOVE YOU ! x

I'm 48 and think his cute and very humble I don't think he knows that he is so loved by so many people, I just wanna hug him

I loved skating to Jeff's music. One of my best times in the 70's was to skate to your favorite band of all time..

I love ELO and I love Jeff Lynn’s voice😎💖👍🏻✨🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸✨

I am a Metal musician… but Mr.Lynne is my biggest musical influence 🥰

Jeff Lynne is always so gracious and generous with his praise of others.

He’s just everybody’s mate . And the most respected musician composer of my generation x

Such a humble, beautiful musician. Love him

The great thing about Jeff is he's a good guy, most people who become famous tend to be egotistical a bit or a lot, he's one of those true gentlemen. 😁

Jeff Lynne has aged very well!

Jeff Lynne is the greatest Pop Star from back in the day, and today!!!

Jeff has such a sense of humor.

The very best of our era. Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!

I like that man has stay so simple and humble and he's a perfect genius!

Love to see such a recent slice of Jeff. Love the young people here who know his music. Some people say that the best you can do is to leave your mark on this world and be remembered after you are gone. I am a 52 year old retired US Army Combat Sergeant...and absolutely no one will remember me or know my words. And I'm ok with that. But I have such a great respect for Jeff because he is one of those that reached for the skies...and got it. Not only that...he dominated!! What a great musical soul he is!! I love this guy. All hail, Jeff Lynne....(and his great band members that made up ELO) Peace all....

Modest,, brilliant, genius, ..one off...he is , just Mr music.. Never see the like again...... Jeff Lynne.. Can't find any other words..... .except.... Class..

I grew up listening to the Beatles as a teenager in the 1970's and ELO, and after singing along with them, i started talking with a British accent.

What a lovely man behind the wonderful musician. He proves that you can't be one thing without being first the other...

Jeff, you're the greatest!

I'm inclined to agree with all of you, I think this man is a very underrated genius, I never understood what happened to the original line up of ELO

As great as the Beatles were; Jeff Lynne created a level of sound far ahead of what the Beatles were capable of. Pure Awesomeness!

Jeff is so down-to-earth. What a great talent.

I love that when Jeff is really chuffed, he says so...

Jeff is all for me♥️

Not many folk turn out timeless music-Jeff Lynne's stuff stands up as well today as it did in the 70's

I dont care how much of a prat Chris evans is...if it wasnt for him, Jeff would never have gone on tour, so I thank him for that. 100% respect Chris.

Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, Chopin, Jeff Lynne..........................

an extreme talented and gifted gentleman...very nice to see him in an interview...

"I'll have to check me diary" I love you, Jeff.

This was posted nearly 10 years ago today . I still love Jeff now (Sept 2023)

Jeff Lynne is a music God!

Jeff Lynne and ELO rocked back in my 70s! Loved them!

I adore Jeff lynne he is so talent so well known yet down to earth I wish I could join his fan club

What a guy Jeff Lynne is, Complete Musician, writer, Producer, great singer, a real ordinary regular guy, been following him since the 70,s he just gets better and better. xx

What more can one say about the great "Mr.Blue Sky", JEFF LYNNE ? GOOSE BUMPS!!#!!!!#!#!** ELO 4EVR! Thank You JEFF

What a cute interview... Surprised he did a show like this because he’s so shy, but I guess he’ll do anything for the hometown crowd. Loved the midland sing-along medley!

I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned this yet: EYES at 10:34! :-)

USA loves you Jeff , may GOD bless your talent for a very long time 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

he writes the best songs...

Jeff Lynne. Legend.

I loved his comments about dialect. True. And I must say I looove hearing his dialect so much.💓

Seems to be a kind ,humble person!

who loves me pretty baby, who's gonna hep me through "the night". I can't get that unknown tune out of my head. Compliments of " mr. Blue Sky". The great Jeff Lynne"! 🎵👂💝🌍

Awesome. Jeff Lynne is so the best singer ever. woo!

Those two hosts look like an SNL skit. Love Jeff.

✨💖Come to New York Jeff💖✨

Brilliant! And any gig involving Jeff Lynne could fill Wembley in a nano second. Hell, I'd fly home from Sydney if I could guarantee getting a ticket.

Jeff lynne. Love you so much

I think if I were introduced to Jeff Lynne like Alfie, my reaction would not be 'Y'all right?' I'd probably start spluttering and be unable to speak...

Lovely guy. Massive talent!

musical genius of all time

Jeff Lynne is not only insanely talented, he seems like such a good guy.

Jeff Lynne and ELO were so brilliant xxxx .Genius !

Sadly, I think Jeff suffers a from own own humility, he is absolutely brilliant and his talent is humbling, how could Jeff not know we would all absolutely give our right arms for him to tour?

EXCELLENT interview! And so cool to see him play the Banjolele just on a whim. He plays it like he's ringing a bell. HA! I REALLY hope he and what is the current iteration of ELO go on tour again. I've always wanted to see them on stage. Richard Tandy is always there with him and is the quintessential keyboardist. I'll have to check into whether they really are going on a world tour. I don't care how much the tickets are, I am buying one if they are actually going on tour. Seeing Jeff Lynne in person is on my bucket list.

Jeff is from Shard End, Birmingham. Who would have thought that a working class kid from Shard End would become a superstar. I am a Brummie and grew up around that area in the 60's Kingshurst, South Yardley, Stechford. Jeff Lynn and Roy Wood are Birmingham City fans like me.

A genius, and a legend.

At 10.34 we actually see his eyes for a bit. And they look quite alright.

Take a bow you legend Jeff Lynne

the maestro himself.

Thanks, Jeff. Brilliant.

Kudos to Mr. Lynne for having to put up with such TV drivel.

You can rise well above those two pratts Jeff!!

Love this man!

yes get them back on the road ,classic group ,we need more old bands back as todays music is mush

Loves the BRITs♥️🇬🇧✨

the ukulele brings everyone together ....nice show and what better than an old classic 'when I'm cleaning windows' well played by Jeff Lynne 'Mr ELO himself again I'm so proud to be a brummie...

Jeffs you need to sign up this group you never know what they are doing to your future.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pure Legend

Very cool stuff...kind of strange the bit with him there with the racing cars, though.

I'm chuffed to bits about this video. Thanks for posting it!

love him and elo

He started working with different artists back in the 80s. The Everly Brothers. George Harrixon. Dave Edmunds. The Wilburys collectively and their solo albums. He became an independent agent if you like. There is quite a list of people he has worked with over The years. Writing songs. Producing. Etcetera

They have a music genius like Jeff lynne to interview,and they never asked him anything that interesting,what about asking him how he got started,his favourite singers,so for those that don"t know his favourite artists before the beatles were Del Shannon and Roy Orbison,so wish i could of done the interviewing!

I love the bit how Wembley rang and offered him a date!

Lots of fun to watch this one!

A an amazing guy sing forever

обожаю творчество линна. дай бог ему отличного здоровья и ещё написать красивых ,замечательных по своей гармонии песен.

I think thy won’t to here you sing Jeff,this is going to be fantastic just watch .🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Up there with the very best

Love love the medley!

This guy underestimates his own talent, By a mile.He's such a down to earth guy.He hasn't changed one bit,

Fantástico!!!! fieles admiradores del gran y talentoso Jeff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a god.The 70s is ELO,Genesis,Bowie.Thats all.

Elo is very popular over here in the states

🎸💟 Jeff🎶

Must be the two most obnoxious presenters on TV. Despite this,Lynne made it worthwhile.

Brilliant!

Gotta love it !

I couldn't make it through the whole music video, but Jeff sure is a great dude.

LOVE it.....

WTF..I want to know what fece cream this man uses ...I swear to god he hasn't aged since 1971 WHF!!! I remember him in 72 and he hasn't aged......

His from Birmingham Jeff Lynne his received a Walk of fame in Los Angeles and Walk of star on Broad street Birmingham

I still do!

I think even though the musical standard of ELO was very high Jeff finished the group for at least two main reasons. He had a contract with the company. 3 albums. He delivered those albums to the record company. He was tired. Needed a change. A re charge. Now he was free. He could do his own thing. Leave ELO behind . Work with other pdople. Release a solo album. Even start a new band. Eventually even work with the Beatles on their comeback in the 90s for example. He just wanted s break. That is quite likely why the band split up.
