One of the best tracks released in 1978 was this single from Brit Chris Rea. Ironically a big hit in America but not in his homeland, the song spent 3 months in the Aussie chart in the middle of the year but only reached #39 nationally. It reached #12 in the United States in the fall, and was a #1 Adult Contemporary; also winning him a Grammy nod while climbing to #30 around the same time in the U.K. For me it was a favourite and started a life long affection for & following of the gravel voiced singer/songwriter/producer. 

Hailed worldwide as one of the best guitarists, Chris has released countless albums and compilations and has continued to chart in the decades since with new material. As you can hear on this version, which has requisite vinyl static and hiss, the 7" single is about a minute and a quarter shorter than the original LP track. I will post that version shortly.

Enjoy the soulful and husky strains of Christopher Anton Rea.
