Editing Jeff Lynne (section)

=== 1980s: Production work ===
Even before the official end of ELO, Lynne began his move toward focusing almost exclusively on studio production work. Lynne produced and wrote the 1983 top-40 hit "[[Slipping Away (Dave Edmunds song)|Slipping Away]]" for [[Dave Edmunds]] and played on sessions (with Tandy) for Edmunds's album, ''Information''. Lynne also produced six tracks on Edmunds's follow-up album in 1984, ''[[Riff Raff (album)|Riff Raff]]''. 

Lynne also wrote the songs "The Story of Me," which was recorded by the [[Everly Brothers]] on their comeback album ''[[EB 84|EB84]]'', and "[[One Way Love (Agnetha Fältskog song)|One Way Love]]" from [[Agnetha Fältskog]] her second post-[[ABBA]] album, ''[[Eyes of a Woman]]''.

Lynne started working with [[George Harrison]] very closely in the late 1980s.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://somethingelsereviews.com/2015/11/02/jeff-lynne-george-harrison-traveling-wilburys/ |title=Jeff Lynne discusses career-changing introduction to George Harrison: 'It was like a dream come true' |author=<!--Not stated--> |publisher=Something Else! |date=November 2, 2015 |website=Something Else Reviews |access-date=March 31, 2021}}</ref> This friendship eventually led to Harrison's appearance at the [[Heart Beat 86|Birmingham Heartbeat Charity Concert]], showing up as the finale of the concert and joining many other musicians in a rendition of "[[Johnny B.
