10 Classic Rock Staples You Didn't Know Were Written by 10cc's Graham Gouldman, a Founding Father of the British Invasion Jay McDowell Posted: January 10, 2024 | Last updated: January 10,. 10cc are a British rock band formed in Stockport in 1972. The group initially consisted of four musicians - Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme - who had written and recorded together since 1968. The group featured two songwriting teams. The headlines of Graham's career may always be his early compositions for the scenesters of the '60s, his crucial role in the super-intelligent '70s pop of 10cc, and his livewire combination with Andrew Gold in Wax during the '80s. To begin at the end, let's talk about the motivation behind Graham's new road route.

Don't miss out on tickets! Get them below. Graham and Gilbert O'Sullivan Gouldman (bass, guitar, mandolin, autoharp) is annoyed by the pigeonholing of 10cc as a "guilty pleasure" when their so-called "soft rock" was artfully jagged: imagine what Frank Zappa might. 10cc's Graham Gouldman returned to the stage last night (July 31) after an enforced gap of some 16 months.He brought his Heart Full Of Songs band and show to the Sound Lounge venue in Sutton. I was 18. She was 16. Three years later, we got married. A few years after that, Gloria told me: "You don't say 'I love you' much any more." I told her that, if I said it all the time, it would.

The studio band was called Hotlegs and comprised Godley, Creme, Stewart, and briefly Gouldman. In 1972 Gouldman's manager Harvey Lisberg (later to become 10cc's manager) met Neil Sedaka, who was playing a residency at Batley Variety Club in Yorkshire. Sedaka's career was in decline and Lisberg suggested he worked with the guys at Strawberry. After Levine left, The Ohio Express never again made the top 40 in North America, although three 1969 singles made the lower reaches of the US and Canadian singles charts. One later minor hit single, "Sausalito (is the Place to Go)" was co-written and sung by Graham Gouldman, and performed by the four musicians who would later make up 10cc.
