Sweet consisted of singer Brian Connolly, drummer Mick Tucker, bassist Steve Priest, and guitarist Andy Scott. A product of the very successful Chinnichap[?] songwriting team (Nicky Chinn[?]/ Mike Chapman[?]), Sweet are perhaps best remembered for their outrageous stage gear - glitter and platform boots and heavy makeup - practically defining the camp extreme of the glam rock look. Sweet had strong songs that are still frequently heard on oldies radio shows, but their career was founded on the ephemeral young teenage market, and was fairly short-lived, Love is Like Oxygen being their last UK hit in 1978.

In 1979 Brian Connolly left the band under acrimonious circumstances and neither he nor the band recovered - drug addiction taking a heavy toll. Brian died in 1997.
