Wizzard were an English rock band formed by Roy Wood, former member of the Move and co-founder of 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."[1] They are most famous for their 1973 Christmas single "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday".
