10cc

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 and relaunched by music guru Jonathan King.

The group formed in 1972 in Manchester, England and consisted of members Eric Stewart (born January 10, 1945) (vocals and guitar), Lol Creme (vocals, guitar and keyboards), Graham Gouldman (bass) and Kevin Godley (drums). They quickly established themselves as a high-calibre band, combining innovative music stylings with sharp vocals and 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 and Gouldman were former members of the band The Mindbenders.

Paul Burgess (drums) replaced Godley and Creme in 1976.

Godley & Creme became known as a songwriting and 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.

Graham Gouldman teamed up with Andrew Gold to form the group Wax.

The name 10cc is often said to refer to the amount of semen an average adult male ejaculates; it was in fact suggested by Jonathan King, who had dreamed that a band called 10cc was being hailed as the best band in the world. The average amount of semen ejaculated is 2.5 cubic centimetres.
