Could Have Been A Lady - Hot Chocolate

A great little track from 1971 by Hot Chocolate, it has such a smooth feel, a cool drum riff, and some great guitar licks. This song has also been covered by April Wine, who's version I ultimately prefer, and I have included the link below. They very similar, however April does change up the lyrics a bit, and also has a much better breakdown for the bridge. Either way, Hot Chocolate was a very solid band, releasing at least one hit a year from 1970 through 1984, including this one in 71 and You Sexy Thing, which is the only UK single to reach the top 10 in three decades ( 70s, 80s, and 90s). They actually got their first break by doing a reggae version of John Lennons Give Peace a Chance, as he rather liked their version of it. A great underrated band who has several great hits worth checking out.
