"In 84 and when the Everly Brothers decided to record their re-union album, with Dave Edmunds as producer, Jeff sent in a tape of his composition The Story Of Me. The Everly's liked the track so much that they wanted to name their album The Story Of Me, but finally settled on E.B. 84 (or The Everly Brothers as the album was simply entitled in the UK). The track was recorded with Jeff on bass guitar and Richard Tandy on keyboards. Jeff and Richard were also responsible for the arrangements on the track. Jeff also had plans for working on The Everly Brothers' next album (Born Yesterday, 1985), but this didn't work out as Jeff was busy with the follow up album to ELO's Secret Messages."
