Godley & Creme weren't the only members of 10cc to score some serious success outside the band. Before 10cc even launched, Graham Gouldman scored some major hits writing songs for other artists, putting his stamp on the 1960s. Between 1965 and 1967 he wrote 'For Your Love', 'Heart Full of Soul' and 'Evil Hearted You' for The Yardbirds, and 'Look Th...
After the success of 1987 compilation Changing Faces – The Very Best of 10cc and Godley & Creme which covered both groups, Goldman and Stewart reconvened as 10cc in 1991 to record ...Meanwhile, and they (sort of) got back together with Godley and Creme.
