10cc: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

10cc is a British rock music group who achieved their greatest commercial success during the 1970s. The group formed in Manchester, England and consisted of members Eric Stewart (vocals and guitar), Lol Creme (guitar and keyboards), Graham Gouldman (bass) and Kevin Godley (drums).

Stewart and Gouldman were former members of the band The Mindbenders. Paul Burgess (drums) replaced Godley and Creme in 1976. Godley and Creme became known as a songwriting and recording duo after their departure from 10cc, but would be far better-known as producers of music videos. The video to their 1985 song "Cry" is especially memorable as one of the first mainstream uses of morphing technology.

10cc (also, the 60s rock band The Lovin' Spoonful) is named after the amount of semen in an average male ejaculation.
