10cc - How Dare You
booksmusicfilmstv.com 1970s Music Index


A Brief History Of 10cc

One of the great British groups of the 1970s, Manchester's 10cc consisted of four multi-talented singer/songwriters - Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Lol Creme, and Kevin Godley. Adept at playing several instruments, the line-up generally consisted of Stewart on lead electric guitar/keyboards, Gouldman on bass, Creme on rhythm guitar/keyboards, and Godley on drums.

10cc's major songs included 'I'm Not In Love', 'I'm Mandy Fly Me', and 'Rubber Bullets'. Their last album together, 'How Dare You', was one of the finest of the 1970s. Godley and Creme left the band in the mid-'70s to pursue new challenges, including being music video pioneers, and working on their gizmo invention - something attached to an electric guitar, which gave it an unworldy sound.

Although 10cc continued for a time, with Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, and long time 10cc contributor Paul Burgess on drums, the creative spark had peaked with 'How Dare You', though 10cc did have a 1978 number one with 'Dreadlock Holiday' - their third UK number one after 'Rubber Bullets' and 'I'm Not In Love'.
