“They played us The Things We Do For Love. We thought it was beige. They said, ‘We need a weird one, a slushy one and humour.’ I said, ‘We don’t work to order’”: How Godley and Creme quit 10cc and went to play with their Gizmotron instead

Kevin Godley.

Singer-songwriter, drummer and Gizmo co-inventor Kevin Godley met his soon-to-be creative partner Lol Creme at art school in the 60s. They played in numerous bands together, including Hotlegs, which eventually became 10cc. They left in 1977, became Godley & Creme, and were soon elevated from pop stars to in-demand pop video directors.

Godley tells Prog about the, ahem, consequences of the duo’s creative career, the recently released 11-CD set Parts Of The Process – The Complete Godley & Creme, and that time he was mistaken for Paper Lace’s drummer.
