The Real Thing

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut hit single ‘You to Me Are Everything’, the Liverpool based trio boast three million selling hit singles including, ‘Can’t Get by Without You’, ‘Whenever You Want My Love’ and ‘Can You Feel the Force’, making them the UK’s best-selling black group of the late 70s.

Formed by lead singer Chris Amoo and David Smith in 1972, they added Ray Lake(who has since sadly passed away), Kenny Davis and Eddie Ankrah with Kenny and Eddie leaving two years later. Continuing as a trio, in 1975 they added Eddy Amoo, brother of Chris, who had been helping in the band’s development. A singer-songwriter with The Chants, this band had origins in the Mersey Beat boom of the 1960s and were discovered and launched by The Beatles.
