History

Their early career was marked by a series of publicity stunts, high-profile media events and outrageous stage antics masterminded by their manager, the flamboyant Tony Secunda, such as Wayne's taking an axe to television sets, Cadillacs and busts of Adolf Hitler and Rhodesian leader Ian Smith.

The UK Singles Chart is compiled by The Official UK Charts Company (OCC on behalf of the British record industry Their second single, "I Can Hear the Grass Grow", was another major hit, reaching Number 5 in the UK. ' I Can Hear the Grass Grow ' is the second single by The Move.

Legal issues

"Flowers in the Rain" was the first track played on Radio 1 when it began broadcasting on 30 September 1967, introduced by Tony Blackburn. " Flowers in the Rain " is a song by the sixties Rock band The Move. The year 1967 was an important year for Psychedelic rock, with releases from The Beatles ( Sgt Tony Blackburn (born 29 January 1943 in Guildford, Surrey) is an award winning English Disc jockey, who broadcast on the The song, which reached Number 2, was less guitar-oriented than their previous two singles, and featured an inventive woodwind arrangement by producer Tony Visconti. Anthony Visconti (born April 24, 1944) is an American Record producer and sometimes a Musician or Singer.

The promotional campaign for the song generated enormous controversy after Secunda produced a cartoon postcard to promote the single showing the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Harold Wilson, in bed with his secretary, Marcia Williams, with whom he was allegedly having an affair. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the political leader of the United Kingdom James Harold Wilson Baron Wilson of Rievaulx, KG, OBE, FRS, PC (11 March 1916 &ndash 24 May 1995 was one of the most prominent British politicians Marcia Williams is a Canadian broadcast journalist and host of The World This Hour, a national current events program on CBC Radio. Wilson sued The Move for libel. The group lost the court case and had to pay all costs, with all royalties earned by the song, which otherwise would have belonged to composer Roy Wood, being awarded to charities of Wilson's choice, a ruling which has remained in force even after Wilson's death in 1995.

For their fourth single, the group had planned to release "Cherry Blossom Clinic", a lighthearted song about the fantasies of a patient in a mental institution, backed by the satirical "Vote For Me". However, The Move had been thoroughly unnerved by their court experiences; they and the record company felt it unwise to pursue such a potentially controversial idea, and the single was shelved. "Vote For Me" remained unreleased until it began to appear on retrospective collections from 1997 onwards, while "Cherry Blossom Clinic" became one of the tracks on their first LP, also called The Move. A gramophone Move is the eponymous debut album by The Move, released on the Regal Zonophone label

As a direct consequence of the lawsuit fiasco, The Move fired Tony Secunda as manager and hired Don Arden. Don Arden (born Harry Levy, 4 January 1926, Manchester England – died 21 July 2007, Los Angeles) was an In a 2000 interview, Carl Wayne noted that there had always been a major split within the group about Secunda's tactics: "[Secunda] had the animals who would do what he wanted to do in Trevor, Ace, and me – the fiery part of the stage act. I think Roy would obviously qualify this himself, but I believe he was slightly embarrassed by the image and the stunts – but the rest of us weren’t. . . . We were always willing to be Secunda puppets. "[1]

Continued success

In March 1968 they returned to the charts in style with "Fire Brigade", another UK top three hit, and the first on which Roy Wood sang lead vocal. But a few weeks later, around the time of the LP's release, Kefford left the band due to increasing personal and musical differences and formed his own group, the Ace Kefford Stand, with Cozy Powell on drums. Colin Flooks ( December 29, 1947 - April 5, 1998) better known as Cozy Powell, was an English rock drummer The Move became a four-piece, with Burton switching to bass.

It was also during this line-up transition that the band first invited Jeff Lynne, a friend of Wood's, to join. He declined at the time, still working toward success in his current band the Idle Race, another Birmingham based group. The Idle Race were an English cult Rock group from Birmingham in the late 1960s and early '70s

In mid-1968 their fifth single "Wild Tiger Woman", a much heavier song acknowledging the group's love of Jimi Hendrix (Wood and Burton sang backing vocals on "You've Got Me Floating", on the Jimi Hendrix Experience's second album, Axis: Bold as Love), sold poorly and failed to make the top 50, a disaster as it followed four top five hits. ' Wild Tiger Woman' is a song recorded by The Move, and as with all the other A-sides of their singles written by Roy Wood.

This new, more easy-listening musical direction was the last straw for the increasingly disenchanted Burton, who wanted to work in a more hard rock/blues oriented style, and he left the group after an altercation on stage one evening with Bev Bevan.

Burton was ultimately replaced by Rick Price, another veteran of several Birmingham rock groups.

Ace Kefford and Trevor Burton struggled commercially after leaving The Move. Kefford recorded a solo album in 1968 after his departure, but it remained unreleased until 2003 when it appeared as "Ace The Face". Burton played bass with yet another Birmingham group, The Steve Gibbons Band, and later fronted his own blues group as lead guitarist. Steve Gibbons is a rock vocalist from Birmingham, UK The Dominettes Steve Gibbons started his professional life as a plumbers’ apprentice in Harbourne

During this period Arden sold The Move's management contract to Peter Walsh. Walsh, who specialized in cabaret acts, began booking the band into cabaret-style venues unsuitable for "power pop" rockers such as The Move, which further increased the tension between band leaders Carl Wayne and Roy Wood.

1970's Shazam continued The Move's practice of musical quotation and of elaborately re-arranged versions of other performer's songs. Shazam is the second Album by The Move, released in the UK in February 1970 "Hello Susie", which was a top five hit for Amen Corner in 1969, quotes Booker T. Jones' and Eddie Floyd's "Big Bird," and the album includes a cover of a Tom Paxton song, "The Last Thing on My Mind".

According to a 2000 interview, Wayne had devised a plan to revive The Move's fortunes by bringing Burton and Kefford back in. Well aware that Wood was intent on setting up his new orchestral rock project (which eventually became ELO), he suggested that Wood could concentrate on performing with his new band while continuing to write songs for The Move. However his suggestion was bluntly rejected by Wood, Bevan and Price, the other three members, so Wayne finally quit the group in January 1970. [2] He subsequently worked in a variety of musical ventures and appeared on TV and radio. In 2000 he replaced Allan Clarke as lead singer of The Hollies and performed with them as lead singer until his untimely death from cancer in 2004.

New directions

Upon Wayne's departure, The Move promptly jettisoned Walsh as manager and returned to Arden. Jeff Lynne joined for good, as Wood realized that he needed a second composer in the band to relieve the pressure on himself, and the band toured England with Arden's Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath are an From this period came the hard-rocking third album Looking On (1970), with all songs composed by Wood except for two by Lynne. Looking On is the third album by The Move, released in the UK in December 1970 The album included a #7 hit, Wood's "Brontosaurus", which was the band's last recording for Regal Zonophone, but its harder-rock focus came as a surprise to many longtime fans. "Brontosaurus" is a song by rock group The Move. Released as a single early in 1970 it was also included on the band's Looking On The second single from the album, "When Alice Comes Back to the Farm," failed to chart. ' When Alice Comes Back to the Farm' is a rock-blues song recorded by The Move.

During the lengthy recording sessions for the next album, which included continuous overdubbing of new instruments by Wood and Lynne while the rest of the group idled, Rick Price left to form the band Mongrel, Price later joined Wood in Wizzard, and the shortlived Roy Wood's Wizzo Band, playing steel guitar for the latter, then went to work in musical management, and also formed the duo Price and Lee with Dianne Lee formerly of the duo Peters and Lee. Wizzard were a Birmingham -based band formed by Roy Wood, former member of The Move and co-founder of Electric Light Orchestra Wizzo Band was formed by Roy Wood after Wizzard split in 1975, fulfilling his ambitions to create an outfit that was more Jazz -orientated than Peters and Lee were a successful British folk/pop duo of the 1970s comprising Lennie Peters ( 1939 – 10 October 1992) and Dianne Lee (born 1950 The remaining members -- Wood, Lynne and Bevan -- completed the final Move LP, the eclectic Message From The Country (1971). Message from The Country is the fourth and last album by The Move, as well as its only album for EMI's Harvest Records. Lynne's compositions displayed a strong Beatles and Bee Gees influence. Wood's "Ben Crawley Steel Company" featured a Bev Bevan lead vocal that was obviously modeled on Johnny Cash, while Bevan's "Don't Mess Me Up" (sung by Wood) paid homage to Elvis Presley, complete with fake Jordanaires. Johnny Cash (born J R Cash; February 26 1932 - September 12 2003 was a Grammy Award -winning American country Singer-songwriter. The Jordanaires are an American singing group formed in 1948 in Springfield Missouri. In 2005 Bevan referred to this album as his least favorite from The Move.

The album was followed by two more Wood-penned hit singles, "Tonight" and "Chinatown". Tonight is a song recorded by The Move. Written by Roy Wood originally for pop vocal group The New Seekers in 1971 Chinatown is a song performed by The Move. Released in 1971 this was The Move's penultimate release reaching number 23 on the UK singles chart. For several television appearances behind these songs, The Move added two musicians who became members of the group after its transition into ELO: Bill Hunt (horns, winds, piano) and Richard Tandy (guitar, bass). Richard Tandy (born 26 March 1948, in Birmingham, England) is best known as the keyboard player in the rock band Electric Light Orchestra

Final movements

As the release of the first Electric Light Orchestra album drew near, The Move released what turned out to be a farewell disc, a "maxi-single" in 1972 consisting of "California Man", "Ella James" (from Message), and "Do Ya. California Man is a Song by The Move. Released in 1972 as a maxi single with " Do Ya " and "Ella James" this was Do Ya is a song written by Jeff Lynne and recorded by The Move, that became a hit for the Electric Light Orchestra (led by Jeff Lynne ELO originally " "California Man", a Number 7 UK hit featuring baritone saxophones, a double bass, and a riff borrowed from George Gershwin, was an affectionate tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis (the double bass had "Killer," Lewis' nickname, written on it) with Lynne and Wood trading verses and lines.

With the release of the album The Electric Light Orchestra, The Move completed its transition into ELO. The Electric Light Orchestra is the debut LP by Electric Light Orchestra released in 1971 Wood and Lynne were joint leaders; it was Wood who played many of the album's classical instruments (such as cello and flute), with Lynne on piano, and articles of the time discussing the new group noted how Wood would repeatedly overdub until he had become more familiar with each instrument. The group recruited new musicians to recreate their sound live, retaining the Move trio at the center, and started recording tracks for a second album. ELO 2 is the second album by Electric Light Orchestra, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music)

But after several disappointing live performances and growing disagreements about musical direction, Wood decided to leave and form his own band, catching Lynne by surprise. Wood's aspirations to combine rock and jazz elements, incorporating saxophone players such as himself, seemed at odds with the group's experimental classical style and Lynne's desire to keep touring until the band jelled. Of the eleven ELO songs recorded by both Wood and Lynne, seven were Lynne compositions, which may also have contributed to Wood's unrest.

Wood released a solo album in 1973, Boulders, and went on to front the glam rock band Wizzard, while Lynne and Bevan kept touring and finally achieved massive success with The Electric Light Orchestra. Boulders is the first solo album by Roy Wood.

Message from the Country, the band's highly acclaimed 1971 album, was remastered and released on the original labels, Harvest in the UK in 2005 and Capitol in the U.

Resurrection

In 2004, after the death of Carl Wayne, Bev Bevan formed The Bev Bevan Band, soon renamed as Bev Bevan's Move (without any other past members) to capitalize on The Move's continuing reputation and belated success. Bevan recruited bassist Phil Tree and former ELO Part II colleagues, guitarist Phil Bates and keyboard player Neil Lockwood, to play a set comprising mostly The Move classics on tour. ELO Part II were an offshoot band formed by former Electric Light Orchestra drummer Bev Bevan.

Roy Wood has expressed extreme displeasure at this development [3][4].

Former Move guitarist Trevor Burton joined the band on occasion during 2006 and joined permanently in 2007. Trevor Burton (born Trevor Ireson, 9 March 1944, Aston, Birmingham, England) is a British Guitarist Bates departed in July 2007 to rejoin ELO Part II, now renamed The Orchestra and was replaced with Gordon Healer. ELO Part II were an offshoot band formed by former Electric Light Orchestra drummer Bev Bevan. The Autumn 2007 tour is billed as "The Move featuring Trevor Burton and Bev Bevan"[5].
