Hot Chocolate (band)

In February 2005 they began a new UK tour. She has produced (including Leo Kottke's Peculiaroso), and provided a voiceover for a 1980s cartoon version of Pinocchio, in which she played the Blue Fairy. In 2003, Brown received the MBE and in 2004, the Ivor Novello Award for his outstanding contribution to British music. She hosts a weekly talk radio on KAOS (Evergreen State College radio) in Olympia, Washington. Brown did not have so much solo success but did have another big record: "It Started With A Kiss". She is organizer of the web community, "Furniture for the People", which is involved in gardening, social activism, bootleg exchange and left wing politics. They had hits like "You Sexy Thing" and "Everyone's A Winner". Rickie has one daughter from her marriage with French musician Pascal Nabet Meyer.

It was in the disco era of the mid-1970s onwards that Hot Chocolate became such a big success that they are identified with funky disco. The Orb sampled her voice for "Little Fluffy Clouds" in the recording phenomenon that initiated what eventually became ambient house music. "Emmaline", a successful single, introduced their later distinctive sound. John. But they did not have a very high profile as an act. Since her debut, Rickie has released several albums, non as successful as the first, though she won another Grammy (and two other nominations) for a cover of "Makin' Whoopie" with Dr. Then, with the help of Mickie Most, began releasing hits such as "Love Is Life" in 1970. Her career was the first launched successfully by video, and she was one of the only artists - if not the only - ever featured twice in two years (1979-1980) on the cover of the renowned Rolling Stone magazine.

The group began with a reggae record, a version of "Give Peace A Chance". Commercially and critically well-received, it included a hit single, "Chuck E's in Love", and won her the Best New Artist Grammy award along with five other nominations. Hot Chocolate was a British band of the 1960s and 1970s formed by Errol Brown (a Briton born in Jamaica). A 1979 contract with Warner Brothers resulted in her first, eponymously-titled album. She settled down in Los Angeles where she waited tables and played at local clubs. As a teen, Jones became involved in the summer of '69 hippie scene in California, and ran away from home.

Born in Chicago, she grew up in a fractured and dysfunctional family setting. Rickie Lee Jones (born November 8, 1954) is a vocalist and songwriter from the United States. The Evening of My Best Day (2003). Live at Red Rocks - (2001).
