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). They were named by Mavis Smith, who worked for the Apple Corps press office.

The group began with a reggae record, a version of John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance", issued on Apple Records. Then, with the help of producer Mickie Most, they began releasing minor hits such as "Love Is Life" in 1970. But they did not have a very high profile as an act.

"Brother Louie", and "Emma" were successful singles, and 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 "Every 1'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. The group charted no less than 25 UK top 40 hit singles and continue to tour.
