Hailing from Manchester, England, sophisticated pop purveyors 10cc
hit the ground running with their 1972 debut single, 'Donna'. Their
pedigree reached back to bassist Graham Gouldman's '60s'
songwriting successes including The Yardbirds' 'For Your Love' and
The Hollies' 'Bus Stop'. Guitarist and recording engineer, Eric
Stewart, was already a bonafide pop star having sung the global
1966 hit, 'Groovy Kind of Love', for his group The Mindbenders.
When the pair teamed up with drummer/singer Kevin Godley and
multi-instrumentalist/singer, Lol Creme, the combination wrought a
legacy of four albums. They included the ambitious The Original
Soundtrack and several hit singles, including the groundbreaking
'I'm Not In Love, ' that were rich in eclectic boundary-pushing pop
that earned 10cc comparisons to The Beatles while still occupying a
unique position in music. Departing in 1976, Godley and Creme moved
on to create genre-defying experimental albums, while Gouldman and
Stewart continued their run of hit singles and albums with a new
10cc lineup. Their final album was 1995's, Mirror Mirror, a highly
respectable full stop on the influential band's colourful and
innovative discography. This book examines every released recording
by both Godley & Creme and 10cc, including the band's debut
album under their early name, Hotlegs. AUTHOR: Peter Kearns is an
independent recording artist and writer. Since the '80s he has
performed live as keyboardist and/or produced or co-written with
acts including New Zealand's Shona Laing, the UK's Judie Tzuke,
Norway's Gazpacho, and New Yorker John Tabacco. He has released two
solo albums. As a writer he's contributed to Witchdoctor.co.nz -
New Zealand's technology and music website for grownups, and New
Zealand Musician magazine. His first book was Elton John - On Track
1969-1979 for Sonicbond Publishing. 10cc/Godley and Creme - On
Track is his second book. He lives in Amberley, New Zealand.
