O 10cc surgiu da reunião de quatro mentes brilhantes, Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley & Lol Creme, todos já extremamente experientes no meio musical seja como instrumentistas ou como compositores. Vejamos: Eric Stewart foi compositor/vocalista do The Mindbenders('Game Of Love', 'Groovy Kind Of Love'); Graham Gouldman escreveu pérolas pop como 'For Your Love' e 'Heartfull Of Soul'(Yardbirds), 'No Milk Today'(Herman's Hermits), 'Look Through Any Window' e 'Bus Stop'(The Hollies), etc.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
GmFCmDm I was walkin' down the street GmFCm Concen-tratin' on truckin' right DmGmFCmDm I heard a dark voice beside of me GmFCmDm And I looked round in a state of fright
