A Son of the Rock

Yet another one gone. This time Chris Rea. It somehow seems crueller at this time of year.

Rea is perhaps best known for Driving Home for Christmas and The Road to Hell, jointly his highest chart placing songs but neither of which is appropriate here. His back catalogue is long.

This was his second top 30 hit (no 26 in 1985) and predates both of the above.

Chris Rea: Stainsby Girls

Christopher Anton (Chris) Rea: 4/3/1951 – 22/12/2025. So it goes.
