    The fantastic Chris Rea who’s health through recent years hasn’t been kind to him . . Chris always wanted to be a big time pop star but never ever saw himself as a talented singer/songwriter but little did he know he was actually bigger than he gave himself credit for. He’s still one of my biggest singer song writing artists with such a beautiful haunting voice, god bless you Chris you are and still are the best mate.

    Even in his twenties, Chris was a genius with lyrics. His words in "Fool If You Think it's Over", are so spot on of a teenage heartache. I'm from Memphis and I am very glad that Chris didn't give that tune to Al Green. No one at all could have presented it better than the wonderful writer.

    Fantastic musician and guy. I remember the local station in Middlesbrough playing his music regularly early in the morning. He has gone on to do what he wants to do, his own music, not pop, just fantastic blues music. I have most of his music, there's not much that isn't fantastic. I hope he stays fit for many more years

    I'm an older (62) American 🇺🇲 woman who absolutely loves 'Fool if you think' & always thought Chris was American. 😃 Wow.
    I learned differently about twenty years ago.
    Love his writing, low voice, guitar 🎸 playing, etc.
    ❌ NO SCARF REQUIRED.
    (I have a feeling Chris hated wearing that scarf.) ✅
    I'm a diabetec. Amazed how much Chris has gone through with his health.

    He's very prickly and guarded - strange contrast to the sentimental candour of his music. Always thought he was Italian. He's so dour and lacking in any obvious Italian sensibility he probably is closer to some sort of Irish archetype . Interesting insight.
