10cc is a British rock music group who achieved their greatest commercial success during the 1970s after evolving from the band Hotlegs. They were renamed & relaunched by music guru Jonathan King. The group formed in 1972 in Manchester, England & consisted of members Eric Stewart, Lol Creme, Graham Gouldman & Kevin Godley. They quickly established themselves as a high-calibre band, combining innovative music stylings with sharp vocals & witty, topical lyrics. Stewart was also an early partner in the successful recording studio in Stockport, England called Strawberry Studios. The group later opened Strawberry Studios South in Dorking, Surrey. Stewart & Gouldman were former members of the band The Mindbenders. Paul Burgess replaced Godley & Creme in 1976. Godley & Creme became known as a songwriting & recording duo after their departure from 10cc, but would be far better-known as producers of music videos. The video to their 1985 song Cry is especially memorable as one of the first mainstream uses of morphing technology. Posters Of Alive
