In recognition of Chris Rea and his music.

So sad to hear of the passing of this musical genius.He was so much more than just a song you hear at Christmas.His guitar playing was so distinctive and a he had a voice which held such emotion.His back catalogue is immense.From Fool if you think it’s over,through to Road to Hell and so many great tunes in between.I know his health had not been great in recent years.Rest easy Chris.

I only know one song of his, and that's The Road To Hell.

The first time I heard that song was about 3 or 4 years ago, while running a personal errand in my hometown.

As I headed out of the house, I took my walkman with me and as I was walking, I went to turn my walkman on so I could have something to listen to as I was walking, only to discover there was no cassette inside, so as a result, I ended up listening to the radio instead and at that moment, I fiddled with the tuning dial until I found a station that was playing music and it just so happened to be that song that was playing.
