Hot Chocolate is a British band formed in Brixton, London. Led by the charismatic Errol Brown, the group achieved success with their unique blend of pop and soul music. With over 30 hits and a career spanning fifteen years, Hot Chocolate became the only group in the UK to have a hit for fifteen consecutive years. Their iconic songs include "It Started With A Kiss," "You Sexy Thing," and "Every 1's A Winner." In addition to their musical achievements, Hot Chocolate had the honor of performing at Prince Charles and Lady Diana's pre-wedding reception at Buckingham Palace in 1981.

After Errol Brown left the band in 1985 to spend more time with his family, he returned in 1990 and 1993 for successful solo tours. He also contributed to the promotion of their classic single "You Sexy Thing" featured in the movie 'The Full Monty.' The band experienced renewed success with re-releases of their hits in 1997 and 1998, reaching high positions on the charts. Throughout his career, Errol received numerous accolades including an MBE from Queen Elizabeth II for his contributions to popular music.

With influences ranging from soul to disco, Hot Chocolate's sound resonates with fans who appreciate catchy melodies and memorable lyrics. Fans of artists such as George McCrae, The Trammps, Sister Sledge, or CHIC will find themselves drawn to Hot Chocolate
