Originally formed in Yorkshire, England, in 1966, Smokie hit the British pop charts
several times during the late '70s with updated psychedelic pop,
influenced by the band's stay on Mickie Most's Rak Records as well as
the writers of most of the band's hit material, Rak's Nicky Chinn and
Mike Chapman. Vocalist Chris Norman, bassist Terry Utley, guitarist Alan
Silson, and drummer Ron Kelly had played in the Elizabethans, but
formed the band Kindness in 1970. The quartet recorded many singles
during the late '60s and early '70s, but failed to show any chart
activity. By 1973, Kelly had left the band and was replaced by Pete
Spencer. In 1975, the band, signed to Rak Records, and billed as Smokey,
hit number three in the U.K. with "If You Think You Know How to Love
Me." After another Top Ten hit, "Don't Play Your Rock 'n' Roll to Me,"
Smokey became Smokie; during 1976, the group scored with three Top 20
hits, including the number five "Living Next Door to Alice." Smokie hit
number five both in 1977 ("It's Your Life") and 1978 ("Oh Carol"), but
the band's chart run ended by early 1980, and following 1982's Midnight
Delight, they disbanded. Both Spencer and Norman continued to work at
Rak during the '80s, writing hits for several groups; they re-formed
Smokie in 1986, resurfacing with the LP My Heart Is True. Two more
albums, All Fired Up and Greatest Hits Live, followed, with the group
remaining active throughout the '90s, issuing new material as well as a
number of hits collections.
