Kevin Godley

Jools welcomes rock veteran and video pioneer Kevin Godley to the studio to play live with the band and pick some of his favourite records.

British rock veteran and video pioneer Kevin Godley is Jools' guest, singing live and playing his favourite records.

Kevin Godley, as a co-founder of 10cc, helped propel "I'm Not In Love" to the top of the charts in the summer of 1975, before leaving the band with fellow co-founder Lol Creme. They scored a Top 20 hit in the mid-1980s, even while starting a brilliant career together as video directors. More recently, Godley has paired with fellow 10cc bandmate Graham Gouldman, performing as GG/06, and is now working in the audio drama field.

Working with Creme in the earliest days of MTV, Godley co-directed a number of memorable video shoots such as the Police's Synchronicity videos, for which they were Grammy nominated; Herbie Hancock's "Rockit"; Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up" with Kate Bush; George Harrison's "When We Was Fab"; and Duran Duran's "Girls on Film." On his own into the 1990s, Godley also helmed U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me"; Bono's video with Frank Sinatra, "I've Got You Under My Skin," Sting's "Fields of Gold"; Paul McCartney's Paul Is Live DVD; Eric Clapton's "My Father's Eyes" and the mid-1990s Beatles reunion track "Real Love," among many others.
