Hot Chocolate

Through the ’70s, a set of different rings utilized the Hot Chocolate moniker: one was located in the united kingdom (scoring an enormous worldwide disco strike with “You Sexy Thing”), as the other was lesser-known and hailed from the united states (Cleveland, OH, to become exact). Comprising people Lou Ragland (vocals, electric guitar), George Pickett (bass), and Tony Roberson (drums), Popular Chocolate constructed a regional pursuing by playing concert events, but only were able to issue a set of singles (1970’s “WE’D REAL LOVE” b/w “Best for the Gander” and 1973’s “BECAUSE YOU Said YOU WOULD BE Mine,” the last mentioned which was acknowledged exclusively to Ragland) and a seven-track self-titled debut record from 1971. When the trio discovered that another music group distributed their name, they made a decision to rename themselves Seven Kilometers High. Although Warm Chocolate’s debut sank with out a track upon its preliminary release, it has turned into a cult traditional within record-collecting circles as well as for funk fans.
