Format:Audio CD
The UK band Hot Chocolate were regular visitors to the UK Top Ten right through the 1970s. Emma from about 1974 is a passionate dirge that tells the tragic story of Emmaline and So You Win Again was their huge top 5 hit from 1978. My other favourites here include You Sexy Thing, I'll Put You Together Again and their other massive hit, Every 1's A Winner.
The lead singer's smooth warm voice wraps itself perfectly around the synth-based instrumentation and all of the songs are tuneful and memorable. Hot Chocolate were perhaps the UK's premier soul band in the seventies, consistently scoring hits, even during the disco era when they mastered the form in their song Disco Queen.
If they weren't a British band, I would have expected them to be on the Stax label! Yes, this music is that good and Hot Chocolate's sound compares well with the best of Motown and Stax/Volt's romantic songs. Unfortunately this collection does not contain their first hit I Believe (In Love) and another good one Love Is Life. Those may be found on the album Their Greatest Hits.

I've been promising myself this CD for years - ever since I first heard 'It started with a Kiss' - the voice and arpegio guitar works so well for my favourite musical period - the 60s. The rest of the CD is also v.good - so all in all - a great buy for an excellant price. Even the kids rate it so there you go!

Had this album many years ago on cassette - yes that many years ago. Had to replace it on CD and it was fabulous being able to listen to all the classics once again.
