Christie's third hit record. In late 1971, "Amarillo" was a huge European hit and soon became Christie's signature tune, but it rose no higher than number 18 in the UK. It lay dormant for more than three decades until it was lip synced as a video by UK comedian Peter Kay, and some celebrity friends for the 2005 Comic Relief charity drive. The original Tony Christie single was the biggest hit in the UK in 2005 holding on to the No. 1 spot for seven weeks and still remains one of the few singles in the UK to have sold over 1 million records. In early 1972, after the success of "Amarillo", Lisberg convinced Neil Sedaka to record some new compositions at Strawberry Studios using Eric Stewart to engineer the recordings with Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme as session musicians. Sedaka initially agreed to record only three songs but in the event he put down a whole album in just two weeks. The album, Solitaire, marked Sedaka's comeback after a 10-year absence, and the title song was a top five hit for Andy Williams. In 1973, Sedaka revisited the Strawberry team to record his album The Tra-La Days Are Over featuring "Love Will Keep Us Together", whose title is sardonically referenced by antithesis in Joy Division's 1980's Strawberry Studios' recorded classic, "Love Will Tear Us Apart". After supporting The Moody Blues on tour as Hotlegs, and their acclaimed work as studio band for Ramases, Kasenetz-Katz, Neil Sedaka and others, the four session musicians decided to pool their talents as a unit. In 1972, they signed to Jonathan King's UK Records label, who named the band 10cc releasing two albums, 10cc (1973), and Sheet Music (1974), which featured five UK hit singles, "Donna" – No. 2, "Rubber Bullets" – No. 1, "The Dean and I" – No. 10, "The Wall Street Shuffle" – No. 10 and "Silly Love" – No. 24. The band satirized its small royalty in "4% of Something", and Lisberg tried to leverage the band's success by renegotiating but UK Records was intransigent. In 1975, for a big advance and fair royalty, 10cc left UK Records and moved to Phonogram. Phonogram released 10cc's third album, The Original Soundtrack (1975), and its hit singles, "Life Is a Minestrone" – No. 7, and "I'm Not in Love", which took the band to another level. In June 1975, the
