(Pop-Rock / Disco) Hot Chocolate - Hottest Hits - 2009, FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

It's the unforgettable feelgood pop song that was a massive hit in Britain and America and
even became the soundtrack to a movie.

You Sexy Thing is the sound of Hot Chocolate, the amazing British pop act whose songs
remain as popular today as they were when the band was turning out smash hit after smash
hit in the Seventies and Eighties.

And now, as their charismatic singer Errol Brown embarks on a 21-date farewell UK tour, The
Mail on Sunday readers have the chance to savour again the greatest songs of one of our
favourite pop bands.

Today inside The Mail on Sunday, readers will find a fantastic FREE 15-track CD of Hot
Chocolate’s greatest hits.

And, as Errol himself once said, every one’s a winner. Hot Chocolate scored an amazing 26
Top 40 hits over 20 years of chart stardom, with fabulous songs such as It Started With A
Kiss, So You Win Again and Emma. You Sexy Thing was their biggest and most enduring hit,
making the Top Ten in three decades – the final time after it was used as the signature tune
to the smash hit film The Full Monty.

Your free CD – Hot Chocolate’s Hottest Hits – is packed with the very best of the band’s
original hits and is a fitting tribute to Errol as he heads towards retirement

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Errol, now 60, has revealed why he
decided to take the final curtain. He said: ‘After my last tour of the UK in 2005, I told my close
friends and family that it would be my final time on the road. I intended to just quietly drift
away from the public eye.

‘I love going out and performing live but the travelling takes a heavy toll. At my age, I thought
it was time to kick back and take it easy.

‘Then, at the beginning of 2008, I started to think that I should do a farewell tour. But I’m not
doing this for money.

'I’m financially secure because I’ve not lived particularly extravagantly or made silly business
investments.

‘I’m making this last outing for the fans. It’s only right that I say a last farewell to them. It’s to
say thank you to all the wonderful people who have been with me since the days of Hot
Chocolate.

'I owe so much to them that disappearing without saying a proper goodbye would not be a
fitting way to reward their loyalty.’
That loyalty has spanned nearly four decades, ever since the original five-man group had
their first hit with Love Is Life in 1970.

Errol’s shaved head and distinctive soulful vocals gave them a unique look and sound. He
wrote most of the songs and in 1975 You Sexy Thing turned them into international stars and
made him a millionaire.
