10cc - I'm Not in Love -Traduction Française- Children of Divorce version

  Children of Divorce:  The Hoffman, Malik and Williams family have all run in to trouble with the parents getting divorced. For Andrea Hoffman (Stacey Nelkin) that is coming to terms with the life of luxury gone and a change of school whilst for Tony Malik (Lance Kerwin) that is being used as a go between and then there is Denise Williams (Kim Fields) who fears not seeing her father again. The divorce takes its toll on everyone especially the children as they find lives tough from one child resorting to eating, another reaches for the bottle whilst another experiments with sex and another who was an A grade student rebelling in class.

It's a gorgeous, emotional song, but it's also a major breakthrough in studio engineering. The atmospheric quality of the song was created through a painstaking process of sampling and layering vocal parts, and arranging them carefully on tape. They essentially used their studio mixing console like a sampler, years before they existed. This audio documentary from 2009 tells the story of ho

Old music: 10cc – I'm Not in Love

  10cc's blend of musical invention and lyrical lament brought pop perfection to the mid-70s charts Pinterest Few bands survive for long with four equally strong songwriters, so it was inevitable  10cc  would implode one day. But in the mid-1970s they brought musical invention and lyrical lament to the British pop charts, appealing as much to John Peel's earnest student listeners as to Top of the Pops teenyboppers. Graham Gouldman had already written hits including For Your Love and Heart Full of Soul for the Yardbirds, Bus Stop for the Hollies and No Milk Today for Herman's Hermits. His fellow Mancunians Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, joined by Eric Stewart who had played with Gouldman in the Mindbenders, had an international hit with  Neanderthal Man  under the name Hotlegs, before Gouldman joined and they were signed to Jonathan King's label UK Records and rechristened 10cc. The foursome soon divided into two main writing partnerships that brought commercial success (Go
