About Hot Chocolate
Drawing on disco and rock, the British soul band Hot Chocolate scored a string of memorable ’70s and ’80s hits.
They’re perhaps best remembered for the enduring 1975 smash “You Sexy Thing.” • Formed by Jamaica-born singer Errol Brown and bassist Tony Wilson, who hails from Trinidad, Hot Chocolate debuted in 1969 with a reggae cover of Plastic Ono Band’s “Give Peace a Chance,” released on The Beatles’ Apple Records label.
• Working with producer Mickie Most, Hot Chocolate existed as a singles-only band for the next few years, releasing hits like 1971’s “Love is Life” and 1973’s “Brother Louie,” about an interracial relationship.
