10cc consists of Eric Stewart (vocals, guitar), Graham Gouldman (vocals, guitar).
10cc is a British rock music group who achieved their greatest commercial success during the 1970s.
It has often been claimed that group's name refers to the average amount of semen ejaculated by an adult male. In fact, the name was suggested by entrepreneur Jonathan King, who had dreamed that a band called 10cc was being hailed as the best band in the world. The average amount of semen ejaculated is actually about 2.5 cubic centimetres.
The original four-piece lineup of 10cc boasted a wealth of talent -- there were two strong songwriting teams (although combinations of all four members collaborated on some songs), all four members were skilled multi-instrumentalists and vocalists, and Creme, Godley and Stewart could each perform convincingly as lead singers, leading to favourable comparisons with The Beatles.
The more 'commercial' team of Eric Stewart (vocals and guitar) and Graham Gouldman (bass, guitars, vocals) created some of the group's most accessible material. Stewart's career on the Manchester band scene went back to the early Sixties. In 1963 he was a founding member of The Mindbenders, the backing band for singer Wayne Fontana. The group continued without Fontana when he abruptly quit in late 1965, and their next single "Groovy Kind Of Love" was Top Five hit in the USA and the UK, leading to an appearance in the film To Sir, with Love. By the time he joined The Mindbenders late in their career, Graham Gouldman had already achieved enormous success in his own right as a pop songwriter, penning international hits for acts including The Yardbirds' ("For Your Love", "Evil Hearted You", "Heart Full Of Soul"), Herman's Hermits' ("No Milk Today", "East West", "Listen People") and The Hollies' ("Look Through Any Window", "Bus Stop").
