Biography
Christopher Anton Rea (born 4 March 1951) is a singer-songwriter from
Middlesbrough, England, recognisable for his distinctive, husky voice. Rea has
sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
Rea had not played the local music scene around Middlesbrough much, and had no
real history of playing with any local bands. However, under the guidance of
local club owner, and promoter John B. McCoy he managed to gain a record deal
with Magnet Records. Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? was Rea's debut album,
released in 1978. The first single lifted from the album, "Fool (If You Think
It's Over)", is his biggest hit in the United States, peaking at number twelve
on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching number one on the Adult Contemporary
Singles chart. "Fool (if You Think It's Over)" was nominated for a Song of the
Year Grammy, losing out to Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are".
