#42 - Graham Gouldman of 10cc Interview: talks I'm Not In Love

[@woolseyallen1048]

Graham Gouldman is a real gentleman. Humble with no airs!

[@joycerichardson1810]

Someone you'd want to meet.

[@laurala101]

Humble, brilliant songwriter.

[@John-hc8zx]

"I'm not in love" has soothed and haunted me since the first time I heard it. In the decades since the effect has not diminished. Thank you gentlemen.

[@ElliotBrownJingles]

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance has a similar effect on me.

[@jamescorbett3039]

I met Graham in the street a few weeks back, I recognised him but my wife didn’t believe me…so I just asked him. He was kind, gracious and offered a photo and a brief chat. Lovely guy

Graham Gouldman " One Of The Greatest Songwriters Of All Time " Whose " Professionalism And Modesty Will " Always Prevail " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965

[@stevehinton8391]

Just a wonderful band and a great songwriter among great songwriters.

[@jamiecraig6448]

10cc were brilliant, very underrated.

[@paulgibson3259]

What a great guy. 10cc is in my top 3 bands ever. They had it all. Talent, intelligence and freedom to create.

[@Hvitserk67]

I listened to 10cc a lot in the 70's and they were amazing. For me, they fell in the same category as Queen, but were much better in relation to how often I actually wanted to listen to the music. Queen required a bit of a "party" atmosphere, while 10cc was always available in a way because the songs were more toned down and at the same time quite catchy. Don't get me wrong, I love Queen, but 10cc is perhaps closer to my heart. They were a big part of my upbringing with scouting and all. 10cc today is for me pure melancholy and the various songs bring back the past in a very good way. It can't be done better, can it?

[@trevoraird4156]

I still listen to 10cc, such an original band, all four of them could write songs, could play multiple instruments and usually in a four piece band, thay could all sing really well, and Graham Gouldman is a genius song writer, 10cc a complete one off, a collision of talent that has never been equalled in my humble opinion 👍

[@keithjones7810]

There's not a 10cc song or album I don't love. I like their weird stuff like Clockwork Creep . Always refreshingly different. So underrated.

[@stevenmccully756]

I’m not in love is my all time fav song so haunting and brings back so many memories of my youth in the 1970s

[@milestonowhere]

"Deceptive Bends" is a masterpiece! I have been listening for at least 45 years. The first time I saw a 10 cc album was in late 70s in Ankara. It was the debut album which belonged to a friend of my brother... so we tape-recorded it. After that, I have listened to Deceptive Bends and I thought they must be different groups or people. Anyway, 10 cc was always one of my fav band. Oh. how I tried to find "Telephone Line" for many years after listening a couple of times on a friend's record and lost it in 80s... Great song...

[@davidzimmerman1732]

Good interview with Tom empathising and listening to Graham.

[@emlyngriffith5846]

Excellent interview. What a nice, talented chap. Loved their music.

[@eamonnbrereton1525]

Graham Gouldman is a charming and surprisingly funny man in my opinion

[@adrianbrowne7962]

Have just recently met Graham Gouldman again on 10cc's Current Tour " !! He is " A Real Gentleman " One Of The Nicest People You Will " Ever Have The Pleasure Of Meeting " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965

[@jamesklaatu9359]

I had been playing Deceptive Bends over and over on KZbin. Ran to Music Millennium a record store I've been going to since I was 10 years old. I bought the LP, ran home and played it loud. Gave me chills. At 66 years old I can't get enough of it. I am especially intrigued by I bought a flat guitar tutor. Brilliant. You got a cold just cracks me up. Feel the Benefit absolutely moving. All in all, a masterpiece. I am so grateful for this music. Thank you.

[@Prog-Radio]

Glad to hear him mention I Hate to Eat Alone as his favorite deep cut, a GREAT song.

[@cham749]

What a great interview.

[@AnnoyinglyGood]

I love 10cc's music and was fortunate to see the original line-up twice in the mid 70's. They had some later good stuff but those first 4 albums were astonishing, especially Sheet Music which is still in my top ten albums ever.

[@RichBriere]

Bassilicious Interview. Well Done indeed. 🍓 Nice to see you Graham.

[@TimothyStidham]

Was the actual interview done in 2020? If so, I think he would have been 75 at the time. Amazing.

[@PerfDayToday]

Such a lovely interview, on all levels! 🙏🏼

[@spinynormanbest6410]

10cc were perfect

[@davidalan7393]

Graham, I hate to eat alone was off Look Hear..lol

[@billwebber5208]

Fantastic

[@tedkay_music]

nice!

[@kazfleszar5899]

i loved 10 cc

[@kevinharkness2108]

Best band ever. The 1st 4 albums even managed to make the beatles sound a tad lame.

[@teddythewonderlizard1448]

10cc may not be in the 'public' conscience, but they've been in mine since 1975.

[@fabianomartins3498]

Wax, adoro suas musicas até hoje.

[@jean-marieboucherit4716]

I value 10cc above most bands.

[@jordymaas565]

here's one; 'lamp looks fukt'

[@24567442]

Massive loss when the band broke up. Had so much more to offer

[@musicloverUK]

I thought I'd heard everything Graham has to say but I learnt things here, well done! I'm only at the start of the 10cc official updated biography: www.10cc.com

[@jean-marieboucherit4716]

I much prefer 10cc to Queen, the feed my soul.

[@timscott6333]

No comparison. Queen are all style and no substannce.

[@kevinharkness2108]

@@timscott6333 I wouldn't quite say that, queens early albums like a night at the opera gave the godley/creme era albums a run for their money albeit in a more bombastic fashion.

[@timscott6333]

@@kevinharkness2108 I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this. I've had all Queen's albums at one time or another - I don't have them now - and think none of them are a patch on anything by 10cc, especially those first four albums that included Godley & Creme. It's almost like mentioning the overrated Captain Beefheart in the same breath as Frank Zappa - shouldn't be allowed.

[@bitdropout]

If you do a youtube search for "kevin godley somewhere in hollywood" you should find a magical video that Kevin did specially for Graham's tours. Alternatively, search for "KEkdHZI8bwc"

[@juliecarr7301]

Saw this at York Barbican.Fantastic video with band playing live along side it.

[@harmonium8198]

Thanks for the tip! Amazing performance.
