Hot Chocolate are a British soul band popular during the 1970s and 1980s, formed by Errol Brown and Tony Wilson. The act had at least one hit every year from 1970 to 1984, and their song "You Sexy Thing" made the Top 10 in three decades.
The band was originally named "Hot Chocolate Band" by Mavis Smith, who worked for the Apple Corps press office. This was quickly shortened to Hot Chocolate by Mickie Most.
Hot Chocolate started their recording career making a reggae version of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance", but frontman Errol Brown was told he needed permission. He was contacted by Apple Records, discovered that Lennon liked his version, and the group was subsequently signed to Apple Records. The link was short-lived as the Beatles were starting to break up, and the Apple connection soon ended.
In 1970 Hot Chocolate, with the help of record producer Mickie Most, began releasing tracks that became hits, such as "Love Is Life", "Emma", "You Could Have Been a Lady" (a U.S. and Canadian hit for April Wine), and "I Believe in Love". All those releases were on the Rak record label, owned by Most. Brown and bassist Tony Wilson wrote most of their original material, and also provided hits for Herman's Hermits, "Bet Yer Life I Do", and Mary Hopkin, "Think About Your Children".
Spelling-Goldberg's "Family" starring Kristy McNichol & Sada Thompson. Season 4, Episode #64 "Disco Queen." I love this show, but in my opinion, this is where "Family" jumps the shark. Some may argue that the show jumped the shark when Annie was introduced, and for those people I have edited most of her storyline out of this episode, but when the disco craze of the 70's enters the picture... it's down hill from there. Which is exactly why I am posting this video - it couldn't be more late 70's if it tried.

[One: Tonight I'll Fall]
Tonight I'll fall, looking for something wonderful yet casual
Extraordinarily temporal, and there you are - let's go!
You hooked me on the dance floor
So here I am, back for more
You seem experienced, just an inch too keen on getting exposed
Having your face in every magazine
You're far from being unique but you still look pristine
Mundanely exotic, like the French cuisine
My Disco Queen - let's disco...
[Two: A Cheap Sellout Drug]
You're a cheap sellout drug on everyone's lips
Covered every day, done every way, a whole world at your hips
A bar to fit, the beats you take
Another hit and you will break
Undressed in front of me, all glistening ebony
You're still so young, but I will show you vintage 33
I lay you on your back - inviting curves of black
Making little noises as my needle finds your track
My Disco Queen - let's disco
Disco Queen - let's disco...
[Three: A Tighter Groove]
You leave me wanting more, panting on all four
I know there's more to pluck, and so I go for the encore
I am turning you around, to play your other side
A tighter groove, I want it but I tremble, slip and slide
Baby, you're just what I need
You purr when I make you bleed
I pump you till you cry - feel so alive
I crank you up and switch to 45
A screaming climax chord, I give you all I've stored
A moment's silence and you're filled up, yet emptier than before
Oh - that subtle little sound as I am pulling out
A finished dish upon my plate is what it's all about
A square round of greed
You surrendered to the rhythm, spinning around your hole
Disco made you famous but tonight you tasted soul
I pumped you till you cried - felt so alive
I cranked you up and switched to 45
You are just begging for more
But I unlock the door
(tonight I'll fall...)
You're old news now and so I leave you trembling on the floor...
[Four: My Disco Queen]
My Disco Queen...
