Fusing bubblegum melodies with crunching, fuzzed guitars, the band looked a heavy metal banding, simply were as chasten as whatever pour down out group. It was a dichotomy that served them easily, as they racked up a number of hits in both the U.K. and the U.S. Most of those hits were written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, a pair of British songwriters that had a way with silly, simple, and catchy kernel hooks. Chinn/Chapman and Sweet were saucy sufficiency to latch on to the British glam rock fad, construction a safer, radio-friendly and teen-oriented variation of Queen, T. Rex, and Gary Glitter. By the end of the '70s, the group's meter at the top of the charts had expired only when their gain singles lived on not only as cultural artifacts, just as well as the predecessors for the pop-metal of the '80s. Originally, the Sweet were called the Sweetshop and consisted of Brian Connolly (vocals), Mick Tucker (vocals, drums), Frank Torpey (guitar), and Steve Priest (bass). In 1970, the group abbreviated their name to Sweet and signed a record contract with Fontana/EMI, releasing four abortive singles. Following the loser of the four singles, Torpey left the group and was replaced by Andy Scott. The new batting order of Sweet signed to RCA Records in 1971, where they were placed under the direction of songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. Chinn and Chapman wrote a number of light bubblegum pop songs for the group, the outset of which, "Laughable Funny," reached number 13 on the U.K. charts. Following "Comic Funny," the twain wrote five-spot more Top 40 hits for the group -- including "Small Willy" and "Wigwam Bam" -- which were all lightweight bubblegum numbers pool loaded with doubled entendres. During this clip, Sweet were authorship their own B-sides and record album tracks. All of the group's compositions were harder than Chinn and Chapman's songs, featuring crunching heavy rock guitars. Consequently, the twain distinct to write tougher songs for the group. "Blockbuster," the beginning consequence of Chinn and Chapman's neo-glam rock approach, was the biggest murder Sweet always had in the U.K., reach number one on the charts in early 1973 and eventually going platinum. For the adjacent two years, Sweet continued to graph with Chinn and Chapman compositions, including the Top Ten hits "Hell Raiser," "Ballroom Blitz," "Teen Rampage," and "The Six Teens." By the summertime of 1974, the members of Sweet had fully grown tired of the dominance Chinn and Chapman exerted over their career and distinct to criminal record without the yoke. The resulting record album, Fresh Fanny Adams, reached number 27 in the U.K., merely it yielded no hits. In the give of 1975, Sweet had their first-class honours degree self-penned hit with "Fox on the Run," which reached the Top Ten in both the U.K. and the U.S. "Charles James Fox on the Run" appeared on the aggregation Devastation Boulevard; in America, it's dismission helped "Ballroom Blitz" accomplish the Top Ten in the summertime of 1975. Strung Up, released in the precipitate of 1975, continued the group's move toward album-oriented rock. For the rest of the decade, the group continued to churn out albums, which were all less successful than their precursor. Sweet bounced plump for into the charts in 1978 with "Dearest Is Like Oxygen," merely the individual proved to be their last pant; they never reached the Top Ten once again, neither in the U.S. or the U.K. Connolly left field the band after "Honey Is Like Oxygen" and the group replaced him with keyboardist Gary Moberley. The group carried on for leash more long time, releasing trinity more than albums that all achieved little success. After respective days of short success or attention, Sweet broke up in 1982. In the decade following their separation, Sweet reunited on various occasions. In 1985, a dance club potpourri of their hits called "It's the Sweet Mix" became a British Top 50 strike and, following the single's winner, the radical re-formed for a term of enlistment that proven to be less awaited than expected. Later in the decade, Scott toured as part of the chemical group Paddy Goes to Holyhead. In 1989, Scott and Tucker re-formed Sweet to record a live album at London's Marquee Club.
