Past members

Wizzard were an English rock band formed by Roy Wood, previously a co-founding member of the Move and the Electric Light Orchestra. The Guinness Book of 500 Number One Hits states, "Wizzard was Roy Wood just as much as Wings was Paul McCartney." They are most famous for their 1973 Christmas single "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday", which went Top 5 in the UK. They also achieved two UK No. 1 singles with "See My Baby Jive" and "Angel Fingers (A Teen Ballad)"
