BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1977
DISCO FRIDAY!
In 1977, Jeff Lynne released his first solo single, the disco-flavoured “Doin’ That Crazy Thing” backed with “Goin’ Down to Rio”. The song was intended to start a bew dance craze that Lynn had thought up while taking a short break from being Electric Light Orchestra’s frontman. The 12″ single’s sleeve came with instruction how to do the “Crazy Thing”. Despite ELO’s high profile at that time, it received little airplay and failed to chart.
This single would mark the first time that Lynne’s named appeard on a release by itself.
