HISTORY OF THE REAL THING Formed in 1972, The Real Thing are Britain’s longest-established - and best-loved - black group in UK entertainment history. The Real Thing were established in Toxteth, Liverpool, L8, in 1972. Universally known for their legendary hits You To Me Are Everything, Can’t Get By Without You and Can You Feel the Force, as well as their ground-breaking 1977 song, Children of the Ghetto, The Real Thing remain pioneers in soul, funk and dance music.
The Real Thing was made of Eddy and Chris Amoo, Ray Lake, and Dave Smith. Ray Lake passed in 2000. Following the sad passing of Chris's brother Eddy in February 2018, Chris and Dave made the decision to continue The Real Thing's legacy. They are now celebrating over 50 incredible years in the music industry, and they’re still going strong, playing hundreds of gigs across the world
