Hot Chocolate – The Artist

Hot Chocolate are a British soul band popular during the 1970s and 1980s, formed by Errol Brown and Tony Wilson. The act had at least one hit every year from 1970 to 1984, and their 1975 song “You Sexy Thing” made the Top 10 in three decades. Formed in 1968, the band initially consisted of vocalist Errol Brown, guitarist Franklyn De Allie, drummer Jim King (shortly thereafter replaced by the unrelated Ian King), percussionist Patrick Olive, and bassist Tony Wilson; with keyboardist Larry Ferguson joining the band in the following year.  By 1970 the band’s line-up had changed again to include Harvey Hinsley and Tony Connor replacing De Allie and King respectively. It was in the disco era of the mid-1970s that Hot Chocolate became a big success. A combination of high production standards, the growing confidence of the main songwriting team of Wilson and Brown, and tight vocal harmonies enabled them to secure further big hits such as “You Sexy Thing” and “Every 1’s a Winner”.

Every 1’s a Winner – The Song

“Every 1’s a Winner“ is the third single from the 1978 Hot Chocolate album of the same name. Written by frontman Errol Brown, the single was released in 1978 on RAK Records in the UK and Infinity Records in the US. it was one of the band’s highest charting singles in the US, behind “You Sexy Thing”. Hot Chocolate released a remixed version of the song on their 1987 album 2001.  A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label. The original examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth. Numbers can be represented in language with number words. More universally, individual numbers can be represented by symbols, called numerals; for example, “5” is a numeral that represents the number five. As only a relatively small number of symbols can be memorised, basic numerals are commonly organised in a numeral system, which is an organised way to represent any number.
