RIP Chris Rea

RIP

Isn't it odd how people with Christmas hits always seem to go around Christmas time? That's him, George Michael and the bloke from The Pogues
 
aww no way - didn't realise he was 74, though i should probably have seeing as he's been around for years!! RIP Chris.....time for a blast of Driving home for Christmas me thinks.
 
I remember back in about '87 when "On the Beach" Dropped - I was in Lanzarote and that song was massive. Everybody would be listening to it while having their sundowners before a night on the strip.

Anyway, I remember flying back into Gatwick and saying to my OH that the first thing we had to do was to head to the nearest Sam Goody and get a copy of OTB & sure enough, there must have been at least 10 other people off our flight who had the same idea as I recognised them from the pab t-shirts they were wearing. Legends Karaoke Bar, Puerto Del Carmen, in fact.

RIP Chris.
 
inneresting factoid about CR. He was a massive fan of Lotus (Caterham) Sevens, with a Caterham 7 appearing on the cover of his Auberge album & an owners club sticker always adorning his Strat.
