3.0 out of 5 stars Good for a good time, June 16, 2000

By	lisa aaron (oakland, ca) - See all my reviews

Heaven in the back seat of my cadillac gives barry white a run for his money! These wonderfully talented soulsters give us a little taste from the other side of the pond. Take it out & get your groove on!

5.0 out of 5 stars First of two volumes covering all their hits, January 11, 2005

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Hot Chocolate were the first British black group to achieve consistent success over a number of years, deservedly so based on the quality and variety of the R+B music that they recorded. The star of the group was lead singer Errol Brown, who also wrote or co-wrote many of their songs. They had thirty original hits on the UK charts between 1970 and 1984, plus a further two 1987 hits via re-mixes. All their original hits plus one of the re-mixes can be found on this volume and its companion. This volume covers the period 1970 to 1976 in chronological order.

Their successful run began with Love is life, a UK top ten hit in 1970, and included such classics as You sexy thing, I believe in love, Emma (a tragic song about a suicide), A child's prayer and Brother Louie, all UK top ten hits.

They also recorded great songs that were less successful, among these being Cheri babe and Heaven is in the back seat of my Cadillac. All these and many more can be found on this collection.

If you enjoy seventies soul and disco music, you will surely enjoy Hot Chocolate's music.

4.0 out of 5 stars And a Marshmallow on Top, December 20, 2005

By	Tony James "A J" (Canadarocks) - See all my reviews

Hot Chocolate. Smooth, inviting, warm and rich. Most of the group originated from islands in the Caribbean but were based in England. Along with their big hits "Emma" (Emmaline) and "You Sexy Thing" was the group's version of "Brother Louie" (also covered by the group "Stories"). This album is worth a listen alone for those three tunes. Everything else is a bonus. Maybe I should have said a cherry on top. Whatever. Enjoy.
