🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️
-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
(Frontman of the soul/disco band Hot Chocolate) Singer Errol Brown his wife ginette Brown, With a Cadillac Singer of Hot Chocolate, the British soul band best known for the 1975 disco anthem You Sexy Thing; the group's funky and harmonious sound was defined by Brown's seductive voice and charismatic stage presence.
Lead singer Errol Brown wrote this about his wife Ginette. It was the first happy song he wrote - he had always written sad songs before.
Errol Brown, who came to England from Jamaica with his mother when he was young, formed Hot Chocolate in London with Tony Wilson in 1969. They recorded a reggae version of "Give Peace A Chance" that got the attention of John Lennon, who released the single on The Beatles' Apple Records.
This led to a deal with Mickie Most, who signed them to his RAK label. The pair wrote "Bet Yer Life I Do," which was recorded by Herman's Hermits and hit UK #22. They had their first UK hit of their own with "Love Is Life," then went on to a string of UK hits, including a #1 in 1977 with "So You Win Again."
Hot Chocolate were produced by Mickie Most, who released this track on his RAK Records label. Most, however, didn't see the hit potential in this song and put it out as the B-side of a ballad called "Blue Night." That same week, Most produced a song for his band The Arrows called "I Love Rock And Roll," and released that as the B-side of their song "Broken Down Heart."
In our interview with Alan Merrill of The Arrows, he explained that Most was in his "blue period" (an allusion to Pablo Picasso), and was really into ballads. "You Sexy Thing" turned out to be a huge hit, but "I Love Rock And Roll" would have to wait 7 years to realize its potential when Joan Jett took the song to #1.
