I love Chris Rea. Amen!
 
Seriously – listening to this made me feel happy, even when he errs on the side of cheesy and it’s a bit of a mishmash, I don’t care. Totally biased. Big Grin

The whole lot … https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kBqUyoJcSDD8JzdrxC4Eru2-YtQ47-VDo

Benny Santini for me
what ever happened to him?

RE: NEWISH ALBUM: Chris Rea - One Fine Day - CRAZY-HORSE - 09-12-2019

i guess we are all in agreeance in our assessment of Mr Rea...a class act.

to answer your question MH:

he has had serious health issues since 1994 including:

peritonitis

stomach ulcers

pancreatic cancer.

also diabetes

all these mean he takes more than 30 tablets a day plus numerous injections

and to add to that he had a stroke in 2016 which left him with slurred speech and loss of movement in his arms/fingers
