10CC

10cc were an English art rock band who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1970s. Initially comprising four musicians Graham Gouldman,

Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the “10cc” name in 1972. Two, strong song-writing teams, a commercial team and an artistic team, injected sharp wit to lyrically-dextrous songs; the commercial team (Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman) were straight pop-song-writers, who created the band’s most accessible songs; the artistic team (Godley and Creme) were the experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematic writing. Each man was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer, and producer, and each could perform as the lead singer.
