Guys... I'm hunting high and low here in YouTube and Google to see if I can find a clip of Kevin Godley playing ANYTHING other than singing (and even in that, I think Lol, Graham, and Eric all sound better)! Am I being unfair to Kevin Godley here? Do you know something I don't? Can you point me to a clip that shows him playing ANYTHING other than singing?? Coz if not, then what the hell was he doing shuffled among three amazing singers, instrumentalist, and song-writers??
Look at Kevin behind the drums in "Art for Art's Sake". Great singer going back to Hotlegs, IMO. Key example: "Fresh Air for My Momma" on first 10cc album.
You see Kevin Godley behind a drum kit in maany of the 10cc videos. He has an amazing voice so you might see him behind a drum kit with a mike in front of his face. I think Kevin has a beautiful voice. He can hit some serious high notes and has a beautiful falsetto. Don't you know he's a trained graphic artist and writes a lot of the song lyrics? Yes you are being unfair to Kevin Godley. I had "Sheet Music" when I was a teenager ON VINYL. I have been a 10cc fan since I was 12.
I prefer Eric as lead vocal if it's any comment about 10cc in general, but Godley does amazing vocals on "Cry" -- in my opinion one of the most powerful vocal performances without going over the top (Michael Bolton comes to mind).
Every time I hear some idiot do a cover version it "makes me wanna cry". If you can't come close to duplicating or providing something original, why bother??
These two guys are among the very greatest of musical talents ever produced in the UK. Like so many other people who have posted here, I miss their collaborations too. I have all their albums too and they still send shivers up my spine for all their strange brilliance. Thank you guys for all the years of great listening pleasure.
Maybe I'm reading too much in this & knowing it was toward the end but their body language does seem more defeated/tired, especially while waiting for the other guy to finish speaking. Good clip though!
I can relate. They were always right up there with Lennon & McCartney to me. A great partnership that I sorely miss. Both have done projects with other artists. But what they did together will always be all time favorites.
Who was to know that their partnership was coming to an end? Howling At The Moon remains unmade. I love 'em and miss 'em, but those brilliant records - L, Goodbye Blue Sky, Consequences, etc - remain.
what total twats.. saved by their good music though lol

20+ years later, I'm not aware of any film project from them. Anyone know of any?

Yes that was my first reaction when I watched it , they looked a bit tired. But they had some big plans with the movie that never went through.

A shame most people tend to know them only for "Cry" - most certainly one of the most interesting and inventive musical duos ever!
