The group's initial years were characterized by bubblegum songs that they were only allowed to sing on, with heavier self-penned rock songs as the b-sides. They achieved their first hit in 1970 with the release of Funny Funny. In the following months, Sweet released "Co-Co" and Poppa Joe, both achieving huge success in the charts. In 1971 they released the album "Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be", which consisted mostly of songs written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman.
Sweet's success continued with more glam rock and power pop oriented tunes, such as "Little Willy", "Wig Wam Bam", Hellraiser and Ballroom Blitz. By this time Sweet had a world-wide following, clocking up no less than 18 top 20 hit singles, and the guys were most notably popular in Germany and the U.K.
The group's members are perhaps best remembered for their very 'glam' outfits, featuring a lot of glitter, platform boots, chain mail shirts, and plenty of makeup. The group practically defining the camp extreme of the glam rock look, Steve Priest would later say it was very short-lived and only happened by accident, as some sort of ongoing rivalry between them and artists such as David Bowie and T. Rex. Everyone tried to outdo each other’s ridiculousness on Top Of The Pops. Sweet’s glam rock era lasted from 1972 to 1973.
In 1974, Sweet released Teenage Rampage, The Six Teens and Turn It Down, showing their desire to take a more hard rock direction. By this time tensions between the band and the songwriters and producer started to grow. The guys also pushed for more songwriting control, which increased tensions between them, the songwriters and producer.
In 1975, Sweet wrote, recorded and produced the smash hit Fox on the Run on their own, essentially severing ties with Chinn and Chapman. Following the song’s success, they released the acclaimed track Action. Their momentum went on, the band embarking their first U.S. tour.
After their recent success, Sweet released the “Give Us A Wink” album in 1976, which was notably heavy. It contained the single The Lies In Your Eyes, which achieved moderate success. A year later, in 1977, they released the album “Off The Record”, but singles such as Fever Of Love and Lost Angels failed to gain traction, partly due to bad marketing from their label. Despite this, the band continued to distance themselves from their earlier commercial ventures.
Sweet’s career was revitalized with the release of Love Is Like Oxygen in 1978. By this time Connolly had developed a drinking problem and started to be increasingly unreliable during recording sessions. Following a disastrous U.S. tour, he left the band officially in early 1979. The band continued on as a three piece band for three more years, releasing “Cut Above The Rest”, “Waters Edge”, and “Identity Crisis”. Priest took over most of the lead vocals until Sweet’s disbandment in 1981.
In 1985, Andy Scott and Mick Tucker re-formed Sweet with various new vocalists and bass players, the most notable being a 1986 reunion featuring Paul Mario Day (the first singer of Iron Maiden), keyboardist Phil Lanzon, and bass player Malcolm McNulty (who is now lead singer for fellow glam rock band Slade). Steve Priest was asked to join Tucker and Scott for the 1985 Australian tour, but declined at the last moment. Vocalist and bass player Jeff Brown joined in 1988. In 1991, Mick Tucker departed due to ill health, leaving Andy Scott as the only original member. He was replaced by German Bodo Schopf, and subsequently, Bruce Bisland. After Tucker's departure, Andy Scott changed the band's name to 'Andy Scott's Sweet'.
During this time, Brian Connolly, now in bad health, also performed with his version of Sweet. In 1981, he suffered multiple cardiac arrests, which permanently affected his health. He died on 9 February 1997, aged 51. He was cremated after a ceremony at Most Holy Name Roman Catholic Church at Old Mill Lane, Denham, Buckinghamshire and his ashes were scattered over the water by his adult daughters Nicola and Michelle. He also left an ex-wife, Marilyn, and a two-year-old son called Brian Junior (BJ) by his girlfriend Jean.
Michael Thomas (Mick) Tucker died 14 February 2002 in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire from leukemia, aged 54; his funeral took place 25 February 2002. He is buried in an unnamed grave in Chorleywood House cemetery. It is marked by a sleeping angel. A wooden bench with a brass plaque funded by fans as a dedication to Mick is also positioned in the grave's vicinity.[2] He left behind a widow, Jan, and a daughter Ayston from his first marriage to Pauline (†1979). According to Steve Priest: "He was the most underrated drummer that ever came out of England. He was the powerhouse of the band. He was technically marvellous. His timing was impeccable, but he had a lot of soul as well and he really felt what he was playing."
In 1994, Steve Priest published his autobiography “Are You Ready Steve?”, which was a raw expose of his time with Sweet and pre-Sweet. In 2006 he released Priest's Precious Poems, a CD of tracks largely consisting of his more recent material. In 2008, he came out of retirement to form his own version of Sweet, based in the US. A year later this band released a live CD called Live In America. In March 2020, he was admitted to a hospital in L.A. After battling pneumonia for a few months, he died on June 4th 2020 at the age of 72.
Andy Scott currently continues to tour with Sweet. In 2002, Sweet released a new album called Sweetlife. February 2006 saw the release of a new Suzi Quatro album, Back To The Drive, which was produced by Scott. In March 2012, Scott released a covers album called New York Connection. Scott teamed up with Suzi Quatro and Don Powell to release a CD called Quatro, Scott and Powell in 2017. Scott has continued to produce for bands throughout the years, currently being the producer for Novatines.
In recent years, Sweet's popularity has surged again. The song Ballroom Blitz was featured in 2016's Suicide Squad, while Fox on the Run was featured in the trailer for 2017's Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Thief in the night
She a thief in the night ya
Stole my heart first sight ya
But girl I do not play games ya
Are you tryna to be a wife ya
Are you tryna to stay the night ya
I'm tryna save you some pain
Or girl do you want me to spit this game
Contract for the rest of your life
Baby it's subjected to change
Are we getting dinner tonight
Or baby are we going back to my place
Moonlight
Just right
Baby look at my face
Look me in the eyes
And tell me you don't
Wanna find a place
Where we can be alone
Maybe it's me
Or maybe the patron
Got damn
I can tell that you're the wifey type
But baby you'll never be alone
I can tell that you don't like to fight
Cause you ain't never coming home
I don't blame no games
You wish you could have my love back
But I don't feel the same
You can talk that all you want but
You won't ever come right back home
I know I know I know you won't
Stay away
You're addicted to pain
Should I stop wasting all of my time
Or baby should we just throw in the towel
Will I ever stop stressing tonight
Or baby will we just figure it out
Are we getting dinner tonight
Or baby are we going back to my place
Moonlight
Just right
Baby look at my face
Look me in the eyes
And tell me you don't
Wanna find a place
Where we can be alone
Maybe it's me
Or maybe the patron
Got damn
I can tell that you're the wifey type
But baby you'll never be alone
I can tell that you don't like to fight
Cause you ain't never coming home
My heart is covered in pain
I know that you feel the same
I don't know who is to blame
And now I'm too scarred to change
You were stuck in your ways
Threw it all in my face
Now you're running away
Don't expect me to chase
Look me in the eyes
And tell me you don't
Wanna find a place
Where we can be alone
Maybe it's me
Or maybe the patron
Got damn
I can tell that you're the wifey type
But baby you'll never be alone
I can tell that you don't like to fight
Cause you ain't never coming home
Look me in the eyes
And tell me you don't
Wanna find a place
Where we can be alone
Maybe it's me
Or maybe the patron
Got damn
I can tell that you're the wifey type
But baby you'll never be alone
I can tell that you don't like to fight
Cause you ain't never coming home
The song "Into the Night" by Sweet tells the story of a king who thought he had everything and was having lots of fun. However, all good things must come to an end, and the king finds himself in a difficult situation where he has lost everything and must count the cost of his actions. He remembers the time when he was on top and couldn't lose, but now it's all stopped.
The lyrics showcase how the king's life has taken a turn for the worse. He once wore a crown but began to frown as he cast a spell that ended up falling on him. The king feels as though he has no soul and has to dig a hole, moaning after hearing the phone ring. He continues to suffer as he's floating on one knee in a sea and thinks he's going to drown. The king wonders if what he's going through is only a dream in a golden beam, but there's no sky when he looks up high, indicating that his hopes are dwindling.
Overall, the song "Into the Night" talks about the highs and lows of life. It's a reminder that success and popularity can be fleeting, and one should take responsibility for their actions before it's too late.

On my pillow
Can't get me tired
Sharing my fragile truth
That I still hope the door is open
'Cause the window
Opened one time with you and me
Now my forever's falling down
Wondering if you'd want me now
How could I know
One day I'd wake up feeling more
But I had already reached the shore
Guess we were ships in the night
Night, night
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
We were ships in the night, night, night
I'm wondering
Are you my best friend
Feel's like a river's rushing through my mind
I wanna ask you
If this is all just in my head
My heart is pounding tonight
I wonder
If you
Are too good to be true
And would it be alright if I
Pulled you closer
How could I know
One day I'd wake up feeling more
But I had already reached the shore
Guess we were ships in the night
Night, night
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
We were ships in the night
Night, night

@user-yb9rb6ii4r
Everytime i listen to this it takes me to past and make me remember the moments i shared with that one friend whom i was never able to tell how much i loved her and how much that friend ship meant to me.
And it all ended when she said me:'Sometimes love is the end of duty but sometimes duty is the end of love'. Can't love and duty move forward together? True love , loyalty and friend ships make you compete with every battle calmly.they make you grow . Isn't it?💔
The goodbye between us ufff it was so......
I wish i could tell her how i feel and what goes on within me when i think of it.!
Well maybe somethings are meant to be ended with silence.
May be the more it continued the more hurt would be there.
I can still clearly draw her big smile and the days i saw her in pain were not easy ..
I always remained scared based upon my past experiences and was not able to avail and enjoy the time i got with her. I still love her but i think with time it will fade.
Maybe She never felt that for me inspite of the 7 yrs we spent
May be All was....
Don't know why i am writing it here may be i will feel a little happy after. Wanna say anything?
