Sorry to tell that this song by 10cc, "I'm Not in Love" should have been a heartbreaking ballad, filled with more meaning, hurt and a sad lament. It should have been one of the saddest songs of 1975 plus it should have been on the list of sad songs and break-up songs.

"I'm Not in Love":
Sorry to tell that this song by 10cc, "I'm Not in Love" should have been a heartbreaking ballad, filled with more meaning, hurt and a sad lament. It should have been one of the saddest songs of 1975 plus it should have been on the list of sad songs and break-up songs.
"Only When I Laugh":
Only When I Laugh is a 1981 American comedy-drama film with Marsha Mason & Kristy McNichol, based on Neil Simon's 1970 play The Gingerbread Lady.
I like the serious heartfelt ballad, "I'm Not in Love", done by only Eric Stewart from 10cc, better than Kathy Redfern's middle part that I'm not happy about since I'm a small 10cc fan.
I'm Not in Love:
short version is better without Kathy Redfern's midsection
Too bad that the song on a 7" 45 RPM single had Kathy Redfern's annoying be-quiet-big-boys-don't-cry junk ruining in midsong that 10cc's record label, Mercury had no time to omit, plus it's too bad that the repeated first verse was omitted too abruptly. I will call that song very heartfelt and bittersweet that touches my heart, because it's mainly all about marriage relationship falling out of favor. Besides it's very touching.
Angel Dusted:
Co-starring Patrick Cassidy, a young Helen Hunt and Jean Stapleton's real-life son Putch in a terrific lead performance, Angel Dusted features an early score by award-winning composer James Horner. Based on the book by Ursula Etons, the film was adapted by Darlene Craviotto, who also plays the boy's psychiatrist.

I'm Not in Love:
"I'm Not in Love" is a song by English group 10cc, written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. It is known for its innovative and distinctive backing track, composed mostly of the band's multitracked vocals. Released in the UK in May 1975 as the second single from the band's third album The Original Soundtrack, it became the second of the group's three number-one singles in the UK between 1973 and 1978, topping the UK singles chart for two weeks. The song was also the band's breakthrough hit worldwide, reaching number one in Ireland and Canada and number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, as well as reaching the top 10 in Australia, New Zealand and several European countries.

The serious ballad version of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" would have been better without the speed changes and also without the false intro "You'll never get up in one of these again 'cause what goes up must come down" that made no sense. It also would have been better without too much wordplay that spoiled up the goodness.
Sorry that British pop band 10cc never flew to America to get Hollywood's biggest stars Barbara Eden, the late Stuart Whitman and the late Robert Vaughn to be in their American pop music video of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" as The Woman Hunter Version, so all they wanted was the band alone. In other words, to get rid of those bad abstract parts that ruined the goodness of the original music video, done in a British style, I created the American fan pop music video of this video of this song, with Barbara, Stuart and Robert splicing up the band, done in an American style.
Look Hear? - released on Warner Bros. Records on 3/28/1980:
Look Hear? is the seventh studio album by 10cc, released in 1980. It reached No. 35 in the UK and No. 180 in the United States.

Ten out of 10 - - released on Warner Bros. Records on 3/1982:
Ten Out of 10 is the eighth studio album by 10cc and was released in November 1981 (with the US version not following until later in 1982). It failed to chart in the US or UK. The album marked the first involvement with the band by American singer-songwriter Andrew Gold, who was also invited to join the band, but declined because of other commitments.[2]

Originally a UK single from 1982, written and produced by the late Andrew Gold, Eric Stewart & Graham Gouldman.
Runaway is a 10cc single . It comes from their album Ten out of 10 . The single was only released in England.
It is one of the songs written by Andrew Gold, Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman in the period that it looked like Gold became the producer of the album. That did not end and Runaway disappeared on the shelf, but appeared on the American version of the album.
Runaway is used as Runaway (runaways) and Run Away (run away). The background choir is similar to the choir from I'm Not in Love .
B-side was Action Man in Motown Suit , which featured both the European and American pressing of the album.

10cc -The Original Soundtrack - album review and 2 songs
In this video Ross Goodall and I look at the album The Original Soundtrack by 10cc from 1975 containing the classic song I'm not in love.
Best song:
I'm Not in Love (Serious Version)
Worst songs:
1. "Une Nuit a Paris"
2. "I'm Not in Love" (Original Epic Version)
3. "Blackmail"
4. "The Second Sitting for the Last Supper"
5. "Brand New Day"
6. "Flying Junk"
7. "Life Is a Minestrone"
8. "The Film of My Love"
Here's the story:
10cc's third album, The Original Soundtrack, finally scored them a major hit in the United States, and rightly so; "I'm Not in Love" walked a fine line between self-pity and self-parody with its weepy tale of a boy who isn't in love (really!), and the marvelously lush production and breathy vocals allowed the tune to work beautifully either as a sly joke or at face value. The album's opener, "Une Nuit a Paris," was nearly as marvelous; a sly and often hilarious extended parody of both cinematic stereotypes of life and love in France and overblown European pop. And side one's closer, "Blackmail," was a witty tale of sex and extortion gone wrong, with a superb guitar solo embroidering the ride-out. That's all on side one; side two, however, is a bit spottier, with two undistinguished tunes, "Brand New Day" and "Flying Junk," nearly dragging the proceedings to a halt before the band rallied the troops for a happy ending with the hilarious "The Film of My Love." The Original Soundtrack's best moments rank with the finest work 10cc ever released; however, at the same time it also displayed what was to become their Achilles' heel -- the inability to make an entire album as strong and memorable as those moments.

Ten Out of 10 is the eighth studio album by 10cc and was released in November 1981 (with the US version not following until later in 1982). It failed to chart in the US or UK. The album marked the first involvement with the band by American singer-songwriter Andrew Gold, who was also invited to join the band, but declined because of other commitments.[2]
Gouldman said the band's label in the U.S., Warner Bros. Records wanted more of an American flavour to the album. "They were keen for us to work with an American producer or writer. Well, we hadn't had any big success since '78, and we wanted to get hot again. When they suggested Andrew Gold, I was over the moon. I'd always adored his work, and I reckoned he would be a kindred spirit ... I felt really we needed some new blood, but it didn't work out. Andrew was doing so much stuff in America that it just wasn't practical, although he really wanted to do it."[2]
Gouldman later admitted greater involvement by Gold might have lifted the band's early 1980s output from its mediocrity. "We should either have tried to change direction, which we didn't, or got someone else in the band, which we almost did. The albums weren't really bad, there was always the integrity, and the production values, but in retrospect, I find them rather dour, rather lackluster. That's why I thought we should have got someone else in, to kick us up the buttocks. We didn't see what was going on around us, maybe we should have got a producer at that point."[2]

Cry:
"Cry" is a song released by the English music duo Godley & Creme on 11 March 1985. It was included on the duo's album The History Mix Volume 1.
The song reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming Godley & Creme's lone Top 40 hit in the US apart from their former band, 10cc. It reached No. 19 on the UK Singles Chart. The duo also directed the song's music video, which featured faces blended into each other using dissolving and wiping effects.
"People in Love" is a song by British band 10cc, released as a single in 1977. It appears on the album Deceptive Bends and was the group's third and final single from the album. The song reached No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100,[1] No. 74 in Australia and No. 90 in Canada.
Godley & Creme were an English rock duo formed in Stockport by Kevin Godley and Lol Creme. The pair began releasing albums as a duo after splitting from the rock band 10cc. In 1979, they directed their first music video for the indecent filthy single "An Englishman in New York" that ate up a clean, decent single by Cindy Bullens, "Too Close to Home". After this, they became involved in the production of videos for such artists as Ultravox, The Police, Yes, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Wang Chung, as well as directing the ground-breaking video for their 1985 single "Cry". The duo split at the end of the 1980s. Both have since been involved in music videos, TV commercials, and sporadic music projects.

It Doesn't Matter at All is a 10cc single . It comes from their album Look Hear? .
The single is about a love, to which everyone seems to have comment; the singer continues. The picture with B-side From Rochdale to Ocho Rios was a flop. It did not make good sales figures anywhere.

Here's the story:
Look Hear? is the seventh studio album by 10cc, released in 1980. It reached No. 35 in the UK and No. 180 in the United States. The album, recorded at the band's Strawberry Studios South in Dorking, Surrey, was the first by 10cc since its 1976 split to include songs written by neither Graham Gouldman or Eric Stewart.
The cover art, created by Hipgnosis, underwent significant alteration for the album's U.S. release: the prominent display of the words "Are you normal" was replaced by a photo of a sheep relaxing on a beach, a similar image of which had appeared only as a small insert on the UK cover.
The album was their first for their new label in the U. S., Warner Bros. Records.
Two singles were lifted from the album: "One Two Five (edit)"/"Only Child" and "It Doesn't Matter at All"/"From Rochdale to Ocho Rios" (B-side changed to "Strange Lover" for U.S. release). Only "One Two Five" would be released in the U. S., and it would fail to chart.
Both Gouldman and Stewart would later express their disappointment with the album's lukewarm reception, but they would also acknowledge that their hearts might not have been in it. At the time of its making, Stewart was still recovering from an automobile accident that left him with blindness in one eye and temporary hearing loss in one ear. They also admit that the hiatus the band was forced to go into following Stewart's accident was the beginning of the end, and that musical tastes had shifted in the interim.
Runaway is a 10cc single . It comes from their album Ten out of 10 . The single was only released in England.

short version is better without Kathy Redfern's midsection
Too bad that the song on a 7" 45 RPM single had Kathy Redfern's annoying be-quiet-big-boys-don't-cry junk ruining in midsong that 10cc's record label, Mercury had no time to omit, plus it's too bad that the repeated first verse was omitted too abruptly. I will call that song very heartfelt and bittersweet that touches my heart, because it's mainly all about marriage relationship falling out of favor. Besides it's very touching.
I made a comment about that song on YouTube and said:
It's too bad that in 1975 British band 10cc might have taken a break from having a wacky sense of humor and started concentrating on a serious relevant version of the bittersweet heartbreaking ballad, "I'm Not In Love", minus Kathy Redfern's self-parody and believe me it is 10 times better than the epic 6-minute version of that song with her part added.
Changing Faces – The Very Best of 10cc and Godley & Creme was the first compilation that included all the hits from 10cc and Godley & Creme. The album featured sixteen tracks including a remixed version of "Snack Attack" by Godley & Creme, that originally featured on their 1981 album Ismism. The track was also issued as a single with an edit of "Wet Rubber Soup" from The History Mix Volume 1 on the B-side. The single failed to chart. The album was very successful in the UK reaching No.4 and achieving platinum status - selling over 300,000 copies, and was the catalyst to Polydor conducting market research to see if the public would welcome a new album from the band. The results were ...Meanwhile

"Feel the Love" by 10cc is based on:
Psalm 77:18
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.
Exodus 14:20
20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
John 11:3
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
1 Chronicles 15:13
13 It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.”
Joshua 10:24
24 When they had brought these kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had come with him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came forward and placed their feet on their necks.
Malachi 4:3
3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.
