The Making of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love"

Pink Floyd went through studio tricks and tape loops and spoken words, but they never wrote a love song. What if you put all that into a love song?

"I'm Not In Love" hit the top of the charts; two months later, Queen went into the studios to record "Bohemian Rhapsody". Where did they get the idea of using more vocal tracks than were available on tape machines?

And two years later, Billy Joel would record "Just the Way You Are" with a nearly identical layering-vocals technique.

10cc man. You didn't know. Innovators, geniuses.
