Who was the whispering star of 10cc’s great hitin?

“Be silent – older children don’t cry … Grand children don’t cry … Grand children don’t cry!”

These whispering words, of course, I am not in love with the most well -known Hit Single of 10cc’s pop masterpiece of the 1970s.

Now, 50 years after the publication of the record, the woman who surrenders these words still cannot believe in her 15 -second fame.

Everything is receptionist and secretary Cathy Redfern He answered the phone in Stockport’s strawberry studiosIt belonged to the Mancunian group, which was admired by critics.

Drummer Kevin Godley felt that the “middle eight” section was lacking a particular thing that Eric Stewart’s wife was not happy with him to tell him that his wife loved him.

The group added excessive vocal layers and instrumentalism layers to the song.

When Godley entered to give a message to Cathy, he was whispering the “Be Quiet – Big Boys Cry” line in the control room.

At that time he had been working in 19 -year -old studios for about a year and did not want to disturb the group.

However, he knew he had to transfer a message.

“I could see that they were very busy, so I just went to the door and whispered to Eric:” There’s a phone for you. “

“It’s just ‘this!’ They said. “

Influenced by the tone of the oral voice, the group immediately asked Godley to change by committing to the tape.

“I didn’t say it in any way, Cath Cathy said now known by the name of Warren.

He said he remembers to think: “I can’t sing!”

However, the group turned out to be very convincing.

“He put me over his shoulder and took me back to the studio,” the guitarist Lol Creme said.

Cathy added: “Kevin Godley came to the studio with me and would touch my shoulder when they wanted me to talk – I managed to do about three to four shots.”

At that time, he did not really think much except for a short distraction from his daily work.

Nevertheless, all this has changed when the song hit the number one and made 10cc, BBC One on the top of Pops.

When I looked back, he said to the BBC: “This is a great song. Even now I will not get tired of hearing. It really stops you in your pieces.

“I never thought I’d hear it in 50 years.”

He said that the setting could also occur in unexpected places.

“Wherever I go, he followed me. Once, when I started on the plane, I was returning from a family holiday in Greece.”

For his role in pop history, Kudos seems to have jumped a generation, especially because his children are not affected by their mothers’ abuse.

Cathy said: “My grandson was really impressed, because his teacher is a big 10cc fan!”

Çilek said he loved the memories of his time in Studios.

Cathy said the band saw him as his “child brother.”

“They really looked at me,” he said. “It was a great time!”

Many big names recorded in Strawberry Studios, called the Abbey of the north.

Was Cathy Starstruck?

“Not really,” he replied. “Just like my job. It was when I came closest, when I stole Knebworth.

“Eric to me, ‘I have a job for you, I think you will love – can you look at Paul McCartney for two hours?’ ‘He said.

“We had lunch and was a really cute man. I was really interested in what he had to say, but he was really interested in what I did … I’m not especially in love.”

The more concrete memory of the time is a silver disk that the band gives him the important role he played in his most famous songs.

“It was just typical for them,” he said.
