▓█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █▓
█ █▓░█ first lineup, 1972-76 █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the original four-piece lineup of 10cc was blessed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with a wealth of talent -- there were two strong █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ songwriting teams (although combinations of all four █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ members collaborated on some songs), all four members █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ were skilled multi-instrumentalists and vocalists, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and each could perform convincingly as lead singers, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ leading to favourable comparisons with the beatles. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the more 'commercial' team of eric stewart (vocals, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ guitars, keyboards) and graham gouldman (bass, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ guitars, mandolin, zither, vocals) created some of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the group's most accessible material. stewart's █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ career on the manchester band scene went back to the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ early sixties. in 1963 he was a founding member of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the mindbenders, the backing band for singer wayne █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ fontana. the group continued without fontana when he █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ abruptly quit in late 1965, and their next single █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ "groovy kind of love" was top five hit in the usa and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the uk, leading to an appearance in the film to sir, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with love. by the time he joined the mindbenders late █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in their career, graham gouldman had already achieved █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ enormous success in his own right as a pop █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ songwriter, penning international hits for acts █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ including the yardbirds' ("for your love", "evil █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ hearted you", "heart full of soul"), herman's █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ hermits' ("no milk today", "east west", "listen █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ people") and the hollies' ("look through any window", █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ "bus stop"). █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the other more experimental half of 10cc was █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ (lawrence) lol creme (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ kevin godley (vocals, drums, percussion), who brought █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a distinctive 'art school' sensibility and a more █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 'cinematic' writing style to the group. godley and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ gouldman had attended the same high school and their █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ shared passion for music meant that godley and best █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ friend creme would often 'hang out' with gouldman at █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ their local jewish lads' brigade in their teens. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in the sleeve notes to the 1996 cd reissue of their █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 1975 lp the original soundtrack, graham gouldman █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ described himself and eric stewart as "guitar █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ freaks". he also cited some of the quartet's very █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ diverse early influences, which included ravel, isaac █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ hayes's shaft soundtrack, the beach boys, burt █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ bacharach, little richard and jimmy webb. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ aside from their childhood connections, the key █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ factor that brought the members of the group together █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ was that eric stewart was the co-owner of strawberry █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ studios in stockport, near manchester, as well as █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ being an accomplished recording engineer. opened in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 1967 by stewart and his partner peter tattersall, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ strawberry soon became one of the most successful █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ independent studios in the uk, with clients including █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ neil sedaka, paul mccartney, the scaffold and barclay █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ james harvest, as well as being the venue for all of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 10cc's earlier recordings. around 1970, the four █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ began to work together regularly; at that stage they █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ were mostly backing other artists on recording █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sessions, but this led to the formation of the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ shortlived group hotlegs, which evolved into the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ original lineup of 10cc. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ most biographies state that 10cc formed in 1972, but █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ according to an article by andrew bergey, the members █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ of the group began working together as early as █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ december 1969, when noted american bubblegum pop █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ writer-producers jerry kasenetz and jeff katz came to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ england and commissioned graham gouldman to write █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ formula bubblegum songs. these songs were recorded █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ (mostly at strawberry studios) by other artists, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ whose recordings were augmented (or performed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ anonymously) by varying combinations of the future █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 10cc lineup. recordings from this period featuring █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 10cc members include "sausalito" by ohio express and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ "susan's tuba" by freddie and the dreamers. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stewart's involvement in the studio gave the nascent █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 10cc a considerable head start. it meant that all █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ four were experienced studio performers well before █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 10cc began, and regular 'down-time' access to a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ top-class multi-track studio enabled them to spend █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ long periods experimenting with recording techniques █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and refining their studio sound, a luxury of which █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ most bands could only dream. the success of the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ manchester studio led to the group later opening █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ strawberry studios south in dorking, surrey. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ during 1971 the four musicians backed neil sedaka on █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ two lps that he recorded at strawberry, both of which █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stewart engineered and which he numbers among his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ favourite recordings. the quartet's first major █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ recording together was a single, released under the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ hotlegs name, entitled neanderthal man. according to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ one account the song began simply as a test of the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ new strawberry studios mixing desk, but when released █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ as a single, it cracked the uk charts and became a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ major hit, an album, "thinks school stinks", was also █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ released. the group then undertook a tour as hotlegs, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ supporting the moody blues. when gouldman joined █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ full-time, they auditioned unsuccessfully for apple █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ records but they were soon were 'discovered', renamed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 10cc and relaunched in 1972 by the flamboyant █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ entrepreneur, producer, recording artist and 'music █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ guru' jonathan king, who signed them to his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ shortlived uk records label. king chose the name █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ "10cc", after he had a dream that he was standing █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ infront of the hammersmith odeon in london and on the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ hoarding it said "10cc the best band in the world". █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ an alternative story had it that the band was named █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ for the amount of sperm the average man ejaculates - █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ but since in fact the average ejaculate is far less █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ than 10cc, it's unclear how this common myth gained █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ currency, or where it originated. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 10cc quickly established themselves as a high-calibre █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ band, combining innovative and diverse musical █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stylings, sharp vocals, rich harmonies and great █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ instrumental skills, capped with witty, topical █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ lyrics and ironic, tongue-in-cheek humour. the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ original group is also notable as one of the first uk █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ pop-rock acts to operate as a fully self-contained █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ unit -- they wrote all their own songs, played and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sang all the music, and used no outside session █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ musicians at all on their first three lps and only █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ one - harpist mair jones - on their fourth. as noted █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ above, stewart was also an experienced recording █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ engineer and the quartet self-produced all their █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ records between 1972 and 1976. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the original lineup recorded a string of top ten █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ singles and released four increasingly accomplished █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ lps, and they were able to achieve increasingly wide █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ popularity and chart success, whilst still being █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ taken seriously by critics, as well as maintaining █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ almost total control over their material and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ production. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the first official 10cc single was the frank █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ zappa-influenced doo-wop parody "donna", which proved █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the band capable of delivering high-quality █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ commercial pop that still contained an ironic edge, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and it reached #2 in the uk. it was followed by their █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ self-titled debut album (1972). █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ their second single, "johnny don't do it", was not a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ major chart success, but the next single, "rubber █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ bullets" (1973), an ultra-catchy satirical take on █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the "jailhouse rock" concept, became a huge hit in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the uk and other countries and gave 10cc their first █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ british #1 single. they consolidated their success a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ few months later with "the dean and i", which peaked █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ at #10. their next two singles, "headline hustler" █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and the self-mocking "the worst band in the world" █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ did not chart well, but the group bounced back with █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ their highly regarded second lp, sheet music (1973), █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ which included the hits "wall street shuffle" (#10, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 1974) and "silly love" (#24, 1974). on the back of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ this success the hotlegs album was re-released under █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the new title you didn't like it because you didn't █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ think of it. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ now signed to the mercury records label, the band █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ released their third lp, the original soundtrack █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ (1975). it was a both a critical and commercial █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ success and featured distinctive cover art created by █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the famed hipgnosis team and drawn by singer humphrey █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ ocean . it is also notable for its epic eight-minute █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ opening track, godley & creme's "une nuit a paris █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ (one night in paris)", an 8-minute, multi-part █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 'mini-operetta' that is thought to have been an █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ influence on "bohemian rhapsody" by queen. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ although it bore an unlikely title (picked up from a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ radio talk show) the jaunty single "life is a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ minestrone" (1975) was another uk top ten placing, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ peaking at #7. their biggest success came with the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ dreamy denial "i'm not in love", their second #1 in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the uk. up to this point, the group had failed to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ achieve any chart success whatsoever in the united █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ states, but "i'm not in love" finally provided them █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with their first trans-atlantic hit, reaching #2 in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the usa. it has since become a staple of "hits and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ memories" radio programming in many countries. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a collaborative effort built around a title by █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stewart, "i'm not in love" is notable for its █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ innovative production, especially its choral backing. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ their fourth lp, how dare you! (1976) included some █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ of their best material to date, featured another █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ ingenious hipgnosis cover, and furnished two more uk █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ top ten hits -- the witty "art for art's sake" (#5) █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and "i'm mandy, fly me" (#7). but by this time the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ once close personal and working relationships between █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the four members had begun to fray, and it was the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ last album with the original lineup. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ [edit] █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the split, 1976 █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ soon after the release of how dare you, kevin godley █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and lol creme left 10cc to work on a solo project, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ which eventually evolved into the triple lp set █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ consequences (1976). it began as a demonstration █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ record for the "gizmo", an electric guitar effect █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ they had invented, but it gradually grew into a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sprawling concept album that featured contributions █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ from satirist peter cook and jazz legend sarah █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ vaughan. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the gizmo, which fitted over the bridge of an █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ electric guitar, contained six small motor-driven █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ wheels attached to small keys; when the key was █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ depressed, the gizmo wheels bowed the guitar strings, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ producing notes and chords with endless sustain. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ first used during the recording of the sheet music █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ track "old wild men", they originally created the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ device as another way of cutting their recording █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ costs -- by using it on an electric guitar with █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ studio effects, they could effectively simulate █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ strings and other sounds, enabling them to dispense █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with expensive orchestral overdubs. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ godley & creme went on to achieve cult success as a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ songwriting and recording duo, scoring several hits █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and releasing a string of innovative lps and singles. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ having honed their skills on the equally innovative █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ clips that they made to promote their own singles, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ they returned to their visual arts roots and became █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ far better-known as directors of music videos in the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 1980s, creating acclaimed videos for chart-topping █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ acts including george harrison ("when we was fab"), █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the police ("synchronicity ii"), duran duran ("girls █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ on film"), frankie goes to hollywood ("two tribes") █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and herbie hancock ("rockit"). the video for their █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 1985 single "cry" is especially notable as one of the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ first mainstream uses of image morphing technology. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ (see main article on godley & creme) █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ [edit] █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ second lineup, 1976-present █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ after the departure of godley and creme, stewart and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ gouldman decided to keep going as 10cc. drummer paul █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ burgess (later of the icicle works) assisted them on █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ their next lp, deceptive bends, which was essentially █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ a duo recording. against expectations, it proved to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ be a great success and yielded two hit singles, "good █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ morning judge" and "the things we do for love". █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ after recruiting guitarist rick fenn, keyboardist █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ tony o'malley and drummer stuart tosh (ex-pilot) to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ create a permanent five-piece band, the new version █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ of 10cc toured internationally, and during this █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ period they recorded their next lp, the live album █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ live and let live (1977), which mixed the hits with █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ material from the previous three lps. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ 1978's bloody tourists, recorded with the new lineup, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ was less consistent than its predecessor, but still █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ provided the band with another uk #1, the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ reggae-styled "dreadlock holiday", which was also a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ hit in australia. the group then subsequently signed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with warner brothers records, who released their next █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ album look hear? (1980). it was not a major success █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and from this point on the group gradually began to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ fade from prominence. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ after jettisoning the rest of the band, gouldman and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stewart returned to the mercury label to record as a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ duo. the resulting lp, 10 out of 10 (1981) was a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ return to the form the group had shown on deceptive █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ bends, but it failed to make any major impression █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with audiences. the uk and us versions of the albums █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ differ, with the us version substituting three duo █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ tracks for songs recorded with andrew gold. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ their next lp, windows in the jungle (1983) included █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ session heavyweights such as drummer steve gadd, but █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ was dominated by stewart; gouldman's contributions █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ were much less prominent, and he performed no lead █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ vocals on the lp. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ eric stewart went on to produce recordings for sad █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ cafΘ and graham gouldman went on to produce █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ recordings for the ramones before teaming up with █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ american andrew gold to form the group wax. eric █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ stewart also worked on three paul mccartney albums, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ writing a dozen or so songs with him, and produced █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the album "eyes of a woman" by agnetha faltskog of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ abba. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in 1992 the original 4 members 'reunited' and █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ recorded an album titled "...meanwhile" which was █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ produced by gary katz of steely dan fame. the album █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ did not spawn any major hits but was relatively well █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ received in japan and in europe. unlike most of their █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ previous albums the band used many session musicians █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in the recording of the album including the likes of █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ jeff porcaro on drums on all tracks and others like █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ dr. john (mac rebennack) on piano and andrew gold on █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ guitar on one track. one track on the album was █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ co-written by stewart and gouldman along with paul █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ mccartney. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the album was not a 'reunion' in the strictest sense █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ of the word. both lol creme and kevin godley agreed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ to guest on the albums in order to be released from █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ their obligation to polydor. godley and creme owed █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ polydor one album when they split in the late 80's. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ kevin and lol sang background vocals on several █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ tracks on the album. kevin also sang the lead on one █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ song 'the stars didn't show'. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in 1995 the resurrected 10cc released yet another █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ album. this time the album title was mirror mirror █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and was produced by gouldman and stewart along with █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ adrian lee of mike and the mechanics fame. the album █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ included a remixed version of 10cc's greatest █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ international hit "i'm not in love" but the album did █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ not fare very well and has been criticized for █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ appearing to be two solo albums slapped together. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ (aside from the remix of "i'm not in love", stewart █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ did not appear on any of the tracks gouldman played █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ or sang on, and gouldman similarly did not appear on █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ any of stewart's tracks.) after the release of this █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ album eric and graham parted ways again and have no █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ currentplans to collaborate again. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ other releases █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ graham gouldman released a second solo album in 2001 █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ called and another thing as a follow up to his 1960's █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ solo effort the graham gouldman thing. eric stewart █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ released a second solo album, do not bend, in 2003. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in january 2004 after almost 28 years of not having █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ collaborated (at least in the true sense of the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ word), kevin godley and graham gouldman got together █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ and began collaborating and writing songs. as kevin █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ tells it "in a nutshell ...unfinished business. in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ all the years weÆve known each other weÆve only █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ written 3 pure, godley - gouldman songs. that, and a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ desire to find out if the music muscle still worked █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ with someone i enjoyed and didnÆt have to spend weeks █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ getting to know." █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in july 2006 gg06 (http://gg06.co.uk) released 4 █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ songs, the same road, johnny hurts, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ beautifulloser.com, and hooligan crane. the songs are █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ the initial "offering" of a group of songs they have █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ been working on over the past two years. while the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ sounds are decidedly non 10cc-ish and the █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ arrangements quite understated, the songs are █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ powerful, retrospective and deal with mature themes. █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ miscellaneous █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ there have only been two cases in which a 10cc song █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ has ever re-appeared in the uk singles chart as a █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ re-issue or cover, the groups newly recorded version █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ of "i'm not in love" made #29 in 1995. irish singer █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ johnny logan released a version of "i'm not in love" █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ in 1987 to try to keep up interest following his █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ eurovision song contest victory earlier that year, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ but it peaked at #51. as well, as the duo 'will to █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ power' who did their own cover-version of "i'm not in █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ love" (1990) and gained minor success in the charts, █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ but achieved cult-status by fans and smooth jazz █░▓█ █
█ █▓░█ listeners. █░▓█ █
