The Real Thing are a UK pop group, formed in Liverpool in the early 1970s. The vocal quartet comprised brothers Chris and Eddie Amoo alongside Ray Lake, and Dave Smith. Their most famous recording was their debut UK Singles Chart hit, entitled "You to Me Are Everything", which was released in 1976.
This first success led to nine hits on Pye over a three year period, including "Can't Get By Without You", and "Can You Feel The Force", both of which were Top 5 successes.
Their brand of commercial sweet soul music, mixed with disco influences, established their popularity with the British audience. They were the UK's best selling black group of the late 1970s. Their first album, titled The Real Thing, contained their chart busters and previous singles.
