Everyone 1’s a winner came off an album of the same name by Hot Chocolate. It peaked at #6 in 1979. It’s known for the great guitar riff that was played through a Roland synthesizer.
They are best known for “You Sexy Thing” but this is one that sticks with me. Hot Chocolate was briefly signed with The Beatle’s Apple Records and they did a reggae version of John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance.”
This band charted a song every year between 1970 and 1984.
“Every 1’s A Winner”
Never could believe the things you do to me
Never could believe the way you are
Every day I bless the day that you got through to me
‘Cause baby, I believe that you’re a starEveryone’s a winner, baby, that’s the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill
Everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)
Let’s do it again[Instrumental]Never could explain just what was happening to me
Just one touch of you and I’m a flame
Baby, it’s amazing just how wonderful it is
That the things we like to do are just the sameEveryone’s a winner, baby, that’s the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill
Everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)[Instrumental]Let’s do it againEveryone’s a winner, baby, that’s the truth (yes, the truth)
Making love to you is such a thrill
Everyone’s a winner, baby, that’s no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to satisfy (satisfy)Oh, baby
Oh, baby

Good song! I only recently found that, like you alluded to there, Hot Chocolate were huge for years in the UK. I’d only heard this one, “You Sexy Thing” and “Emma” by them myself.
