The Brotherhood of Man first became known internationally in the early seventies with hits such as United We Stand and Where Are You Going To My Love.

The line-up of Nicky Stevens, Sandra Stevens, Martin Lee and Lee Sheriden followed on with the continental success of Lady and the million-seller Kiss Me Kiss You Baby.

In 1976 they won the Eurovision Song Contest with the much-loved song Save Your Kisses For Me. The song proved to be one of the biggest-selling records of all time, selling in excess of five million copies. It was number one in 33 different countries, including the UK, where it held the top spot for six weeks. The group followed on with two more British number one’s in the shape of Angelo and Figaro. They also had a string of other hits including My Sweet Rosalie, Oh Boy, Middle Of The Night and Beautiful Lover.

Altogether, there were five hit albums, earning each member of the group a total of 26 platinum, gold and silver discs. The three number one’s, as well as most of the other hits, were co-written by group members Lee Sheriden and Martin Lee along with Tony Hiller.

As writers they have each won three Ivor Novello awards. The group was honoured to appear at the Royal Command Performance in 1977 for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee and the group has also topped the bill in almost every theatre and concert hall in the UK, including The London Palladium and The Royal Albert Hall.
