- For the beverage, see Hot chocolate.
Hot Chocolate was a British band of the 1960s and 1970s formed by Errol Brown (a Briton born in Jamaica).
The group began with a reggae record, a version of "Give Peace A Chance". Then, with the help of Mickie Most, began releasing hits such as "Love Is Life" in 1970. But they did not have a very high profile as an act.
"Emmaline", a successful single, introduced their later distinctive sound.
It was in the disco era of the mid-1970s onwards that Hot Chocolate became such a big success that they are identified with funky disco. They had hits like "You Sexy Thing" and "Everyone's A Winner".
Brown did not have so much solo success but did have another big record: "It Started With A Kiss". In 2003, Brown received the MBE and in 2004, the Ivor Novello Award for his outstanding contribution to British music.
In February 2005 they began a new UK tour.
