Stewart & Gouldman Fan Page's video: 10CC - I m Not In Love - Kimberly Shane Mvid

“I’m Not in Love” is a song by English group 10cc, written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. It is notable for its innovative and distinctive backing track, composed mostly of the band’s multitracked vocals. Released in the UK in May 1975 as the second single from the band’s third album The Original Soundtrack, it became the second of the group’s three number one singles in the UK between 1973 and 1978, topping the UK singles chart for two weeks. The song was also the band’s breakthrough hit worldwide, reaching number 1 in Ireland and Canada and number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, as well as reaching the top ten in Australia, New Zealand and several European countries. Written mostly by Stewart as a riposte to his wife’s declaration that Stewart did not tell her he loved her often enough, “I’m Not in Love” was originally conceived as a bossa nova song played on guitars, but the other two members of the band, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, disliked the track and it was abandoned. However, after hearing members of staff continue to sing the melody around their studio, Stewart persuaded the group that they should give the song another chance, to which Godley replied that for the song to work it needed to be radically changed, and suggested that the band should try and create a new version using just voices. “I’m Not in Love” has enjoyed lasting popularity, with over 3 million plays on US radio since its release, and it won three Ivor Novello Awards in 1976 for Best Pop Song, International Hit of the Year, and Most Performed British Work.[2][3] It has featured in the films The Virgin Suicides, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Guardians of the Galaxy,[4] as well as the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.[5] 12 years later American white soul singer and backing vocalist Dennis Englewood did a soul ballad remake of their song without the “Be quiet, big boys don’t cry” part.
