=== 1987–1991: Traveling Wilburys ===
Lynne's Beatles influence was clearly evident in his ELO work, and the connection to the Beatles was strengthened when Lynne produced [[George Harrison]]'s ''[[Cloud Nine (George Harrison album)|Cloud Nine]].''<ref name="AM" /> The latter was a successful comeback album for Harrison, released in 1987, featuring the popular singles "[[Got My Mind Set on You]]", "[[When We Was Fab]]" (appearing in the video) and "[[This Is Love (George Harrison song)|This Is Love]]", the last two of which were co-written by Lynne. Lynne's association with Harrison led to the 1988 formation of the [[Traveling Wilburys]], a studio "[[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]]" that also included [[Tom Petty]], [[Bob Dylan]] and [[Roy Orbison]] and resulted in two albums (''[[Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1|Vol. 1]]'' and ''[[Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3|Vol. 3]]''), both produced by Harrison and Lynne.<ref name="AM" /> In 1988, Lynne also worked on Orbison's album ''[[Mystery Girl]]'',<ref name="AM" /> co-writing and producing Orbison's last major hit, "[[You Got It (Roy Orbison song)|You Got It]]", plus two other tracks on that album. 

In the late 80's Lynne co-wrote and produced the track "[[Let It Shine (Brian Wilson song)|Let It Shine]]" for [[Beach Boys]] founder [[Brian Wilson]]'s [[Brian Wilson (album)|first solo album]]. Lynne also contributed three tracks to an album by [[Duane Eddy]] and "Falling in Love" on ''[[Land of Dreams (Randy Newman album)|Land of Dreams]]'' for [[Randy Newman]].

In 1989, Lynne co-produced ''[[Full Moon Fever]]'' by Tom Petty,<ref name="AM" /> which included the hit singles "[[Free Fallin']]", "[[I Won't Back Down]]" and "[[Runnin' Down a Dream]]", all co-written by Lynne. This album and ''Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1'' received nominations for the [[Grammy Award]] for Best Album of the Year in 1989. The Traveling Wilburys won a Grammy for "[[Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal|Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocal]]" that year.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Official Site of Music's Biggest Night |url=http://www.grammy.com/ |access-date=6 October 2010 |publisher=GRAMMY.com}}</ref>

In 1990, Lynne collaborated on the Wilburys' follow up ''[[Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3]]''<ref name="AM" /> and released his first solo album ''[[Armchair Theatre (Jeff Lynne album)|Armchair Theatre]]''.<ref name="AM" /> The album featured Harrison and Tandy and included the singles "[[Every Little Thing (Jeff Lynne song)|Every Little Thing]]" and "Lift Me Up". It received some positive critical attention but little commercial success. Lynne also provided the song "Wild Times" to the motion picture soundtrack ''[[Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves]]''. 

In 1991, Lynne returned to the studio with Petty, co-writing and producing the album ''[[Into the Great Wide Open]]'' for [[Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers]], which featured the singles "[[Learning to Fly (Tom Petty song)|Learning to Fly]]" and "Into the Great Wide Open". The following year he produced two songs on Roy Orbison's posthumous album ''[[King of Hearts (Roy Orbison album)|King of Hearts]]'', including the single "[[I Drove All Night]]".
