“People In Love” is a rare hit from 1977, done by British band 10cc, taken from “Deceptive Bends” (1977), the first album after the departure of Godley and Creme. Album yielded three hit singles, “The Things We Do For Love” (UK No. 6, US No. 5), “Good Morning Judge” (UK No. 5, US No. 69) and “People In Love” (US No. 40). Stewart later said he and Gouldman felt vindicated by its success: “I was out to prove also that we could write a hit album without Kevin and Lol … we did!”
In 1982 American blue-eyed soul/pop singer and backing vocalist Joyce Berry covered their 1977 original on her second album, “Believe It Or Not”.
