His break in music came in 1969 when he recorded a version of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" with some friends. Unable to change the lyrics without Lennon's permission, he sent a copy to his record label, Apple, and the song was released with Lennon's approval. The Hot Chocolate albums were produced by Mickie Most and recorded at the Rak Records studio. Brown left the group in 1985 to take a hiatus from music. He soon went on to have a solo career, achieving success in the clubs with the 1987 single "Body Rocking", produced by Richard James Burgess. Brown was a supporter of the Conservative Party and performed at a party conference in the 1980s.〔 In 1981, he performed at the wedding reception following the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, at Buckingham Palace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=ERROL BROWN: A Fondent Farewell )〕 Brown owned National Hunt horses, including Gainsay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Errol Brown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
