ELO brought it to the mainstream.

I think you'll find King Crimson was the first mainstream band to include a violinist as a regular member. KC was around for years before ELO.
It's a Beautiful Day's leader, David LaFlamme, was a violinist in the 60's, although they weren't a household name.
Ultravox and Roxy Music both had violinists as members too.
