1965 School friends Terry Uttley, Alan Silson and Chris Norman decided to form a band in their hometown Bradford, England.

They later teamed up with drummer Ron Kelly. After various name changes they turned professional on 1st June 1968 as "The Elizabethans".

1970 Radio One ran a competition to find a new name and they became "Kindness".
Debut single 'Light Of Love / Lindy Lou' (RCA 1942). 1972-1973 next 3 singles with Decca Records:
'Oh Julie / I Love You California', 'Let The Good Times Roll / Oh Yeah' and 'Make It Better / Lonely Long Lady'.

During this period drummer Ron Kelly quit the band and was replaced by Pete Spencer.

1974 they were signed by hit maker Mickie Most's RAK Records, with Mike Chapman und Nicky Chinn as songwriters.

The band were renamed "Smokey" as it seemed to perfectly describe the band's sound.

In January 1975 a promo-only 'sampler' E.P. was distributed to radio stations and contained 4 tracks:
'Pass It Around' / 'Daydreamin' ' / Don't Turn Out Your Light' / 'Oh Well, Oh Well'.

As from 22nd November 1975 "Smokey" changed the spelling of their name to "Smokie" at the insistence of Soul legend Smokey Robinson.
