'''Brotherhood of Man'''
Created in 1969 by songwriter and record producer [[Tony Hiller]], Brotherhood of Man was initially an umbrella title for a frequently-changing line-up of session singers. Early on, they scored a worldwide hit with the song "[[United We Stand (song)|United We Stand]]". By 1973 the concept had run its course and Hiller formed a definite four-member line-up consisting of [[Martin Lee (singer)|Martin Lee]], [[Lee Sheriden]], [[Nicky Stevens]] and [[Sandra Stevens]]. This version of the group went on to score many hits around the world in the mid to late 1970s including "Kiss Me Kiss Your Baby", "[[Angelo (song)|Angelo]]", "[[Oh Boy (The Mood I'm In)]]" and "[[Figaro (song)|Figaro]]". They achieved perhaps their biggest success in their native UK with three number one singles and four top twenty albums. The group under this line-up continued into the 21st century performing shows throughout Europe. Altogether, they have released 16 studio albums, with worldwide sales topping 15 million records.
