Why was this song not a worldwide smash hit ? - It's absolutely stunning - Why is this man not huge in North America ? He just exudes passion in his vocals and guitar work
@@obviousfakename5828 But he also never cared about the fame and the stardom. He is in it purely for the music. Had to compromise more than he liked already along the way.
An often overlooked thing about Chris is that he could play every instrument on that live performance just about as well as each of the individual musicians. On the original studio recording of Water Sign (from which this is taken) he played most of the instruments.
Makes me proud that Chris Rea is half Irish. He is one of the best artists ever. I'm 50 now & I grew up with him. Can't remember how many times he lifted me up when I was down. His voice is really something and his guitar playing is out of this world. Love ya Chris mate, & thanks for your music man!
1983. It seems like yesterday! I modelled myself on Chris Rea. I thought him and Boz Scaggs were the coolest dudes on the planet, still do, age 59. Sorry if that comes across a bit Alan Partridge, but ...

I loved your voice and music 25 years ago and you still summon up that strange period of my life when everything was so young and hopeful. You still sound so magnificent and still have all those crazy emotive notes that make us believe..keep on, Chris Rea, you are one of the few! We love you.
Голос Криса - это что-то невероятное!.. но всегда с нетерпением жду момента, когда Он начнёт "отжигать" на гитаре. Вот это Высший Пилотаж!!! Браво и Спасибо!!!
Dearest Chris you should be awarded a medal for your amazing dedication to music and fans Bless you sweetheart beautiful music and so so well done my very best wishes to you and your family Dee👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎶🎶🎶🎶😍😍😍😍😍
I performed same stage, as Chris Rea at famous music festival in 1988 “Rock Am Ring “ Nürburg Ring, Germany, so proud! I still have the poster w/ both our names.
I stumbled across chris rea panic in the late seventies he's talented with out a dout And then comes along all the big hair bands of 80s he's got a great voice and he can play guitar with the best of them with including Clapton I am glad to see he's still around you can bet if he comes to my turn from getting tickets
The Keyboard player is Kevin Leach, a good friend of mine. He is 56 now and with long time partner Margo. He lives about an hour from me nr the Humber Bridge Yorkshire, I was a good friend of his brother Chris Leach also a musician who sadly died at the age of 53 March just gone. I shared a house with him for 7 yrs in Scarborough.. I was with Kevin at the funeral and have spoken to him on the phone today. Hes not to well at the moment and we are still coming to terms with his brothers death. Will be seeing him soon and hopefully he be coming to stay for a couple of days with me in Scarborough soon.
This is beautiful. It's hard to believe that Chris Rea is so talented and has been around so long, yet has not made it bigger than he has. Why is junk so popular when there is great stuff like this available?
The most underrated writer/singer ever

He had pancreatic cancer for like 20 years and didn’t tour in America at all. Shame because he’s the GOAT.

It was a big hit in Europe, to be fair.
If your listening to this you have a great taste in music.
Life has not been all that kind to him. We are so lucky he is still with us. What a man...a monument!
Chain smoking for 40 years has not helped. This video is from his golden years in the 80's
Adorable man.. still today 2024. 💗 Beautiful music, guitar work and lyrics. Amaze me Chris. ✨💯
that's a wild slide solo
This song belongs in the hall of fame 🎵 👌 🙌
Still think he is one of the very best guitartist of all times.
Every so often I feel a need to return to this amazing singer and this amazing beautiful Song. Rock on,Chris!!!

I’m an Aussie and have always loved him. I still have this on cassette. Love his voice still.
THE KING OF GOOD MUSIC...
I don't care how old this video is, this guy is beautiful!!
That's what I thought when I first saw this video. Love the song, his husky voice, and he is incredibly attractive - those eyes!
Beautiful to listen, and to watch💓
Great solo guitar playing
Always a welcome sound..
Absolutely legendary song written by legendary author and musician!
One of the best guitar players ever. 👍
I love watching these old videos of Chris! Great voice. He’s been through so much and still great❤️

think you mean half Italian !
@@stevefreary7449, Chris Rea’s father was Italian, and his mother was Irish....
Ah you learn something everyday apart from his music he looks like a good soul😇xx
His grandad was lithuanian
Only the good half 🤭
This song never gets old 🎵 👌 🙌
Thank God for Chris Rhea! Still listening in 2020!

Chris is a great singer and guitarist.
It's beautiful - take the two 30 years apart - and the emotion is still there - I had not watched a young Chris before.
This song just made me a reflection that voice is the GREATEST music instrument :)!
One of the greats
