10CC are an English rock band founded in Stockport who achieved their greatest success in the 1970s. The band initially consisted of four musicians – Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme. The group featured two songwriting teams, one "commercial" and one "artistic". Stewart and Gouldman were pop-songwriters, who created most of the band's accessible songs. By way of contrast, Godley and Creme were the predominantly experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematically inspired writing. Gouldman for example wrote songs like For Your Love, Heart Full of Soul, Evil Hearted You (Yardbirds), Look through any Window, Bus Stop (Hollies) and No Milk Today (Herman's Hermits). Every member of 10CC was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer and producer, and the writing teams frequently switched partners. After Godley and Creme left the band in 1976, Gouldman and Stewart were the main creative forces behind 10cc. Stewart left the band in 1996, and Gouldman continues to lead a touring version of 10CC.
