Godley & Creme
Godley & Creme are two British singers and video clip producers.
Career
Kevin Godley (born October 7, 1945) and Lol Creme (born September 19, 1947) appeared together on the LP Space Hymns by the musician Ramases in 1971 . In a quartet with Eric Stewart (guitar and vocals) and Graham Gouldman , who were also involved there , they formed the Hotlegs in 1972 and from 1973 the band 10cc . In 1976, Godley & Creme separated from 10cc and worked as a duo in the future.
Her albums, which were released in 1977, move on the borderline between progressive rock and new wave . Her successes include An Englishman in New York , Wedding Bells , Cry , A Little Piece of Heaven and 10,000 Angels . In 1979 she produced the album Long Distance Romancer of Mickey Jupp .
From 1982 they produced video clips for The Police , Duran Duran , Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Yes, among others . The 1985 song Cry formed the musical theme of the "Absolut Miami" episode of the Miami Vice television series .
In the early 1970s, they also developed an effects device called the Gizmotron (The Gizmo ) for electric guitars, which turned wheels to make a violin-like sound possible.
