Hot Chocolate silky voiced singer. Part of the fabric of British pop for drcades. A fine voice.

A classy pop star, responsible for some genuinely great pop records - and this excellent b-side...

Your not joking. On many occasions flawless... Brother Louie, Everyones A Winner, Could Have Been A Woman (bit unsure what the lyrical thrust of the latter was...). I feel no embarrassment in saying their XV Hits (or whatever it was called) was a much loved record back in the I-own-10-albums-or-less formative years. Cheers Errol.
Not sure your "You don't remember me do you?" lyric was ever drawn from personal experience...

Yes, very sad to hear this.
"Everyone's a Winner" is one of the best funk/rock hybrids of all time x

He wrote great toons. Robert Wyatt said that he had a lot of admiration for good pop songs because 'they have to take a lot of wear'. Brown composed several. I've long wanted a soul-mooded Bowie to switch into Pinups mode again and cover It Started With A Kiss. Just visualise his voice instead of Errol's. Tune. Written by a craftsman.

I really liked Errol Brown / Hot Chocolate; he was a groover.

One of the the best HC covers. Surprising!
