It was in the disco era of the mid-1970s that Hot Chocolate became a big success.

The track was taken from his chart topping album "Escape" which made him the first act to top the single and album charts simultaneously in five years and spawned a No. 3 hit "Escape" and two No. 12 hits by December.
