Interview with 10cc from Holland then serious version of I'm Not In Love

The wife's grumble that led to pop's greatest love song: It made her husband write 10cc's I'm Not In Love. And boy did it work – they've been married for 52 YEARS • Eric Stewart's wife Gloria complained to him he no longer told her he loved her • The result, I'm Not In Love, was a chart hit in 1975, going to No 1 around the world • Song also made Eric and fellow Mancunian band members, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, very rich After nine years of marriage, one daughter and years of enforced separation caused by relentless touring with his band 10cc, Eric Stewart's wife Gloria started complaining that he no longer told her he loved her. Her grumbling fell on deaf ears. 'If I said it all the time, it would lose its meaning,' he would protest. Which, to Gloria, felt a little thin. +4 • They're still in love: Eric Stewart of 10cc and his wife Gloria pose in 1970 After all, when they'd met — at one of his gigs at Halifax Town Hall in 1964 — he'd been poleaxed by the beautiful 16-year-old. ('I went gaga! Completely gaga!' he says today.) But, then, Eric thought again. Even better, he secretly wrote an ironic song explaining exactly how deeply he adored her, how desperately he pined for her when he was away, how he hung her picture on his wall and gazed at it — all without using those three little words. Eric wanted to write a love song for his wife without saying 'I love you'. He wanted to show the conflict between feeling a certain way, yet avoiding those words.
