Wow! Crushed hearing thisšā¦I remember the very first time I ever heard one of his songs. It was āOn The Beachā, and I was just mesmerized by his voiceā¦I was so hoping the DJ on the radio would say who it was after the song. Thankfully he did and I went out the very next day and grabbed New Light Through Old Windows cassetteā¦
It wasnāt just his voice, it was his beautiful lyrics. The more songs I listened to the more I was hooked. Chris Rea had a way of just capturing you and evoking a feeling with his voice and lyrics. I listen to āAll Summer Longā and it just brings me back to a great time in my lifeā¦Who else could write āKiss the rain and laugh as it goes byāā¦if anyone has never heard āAll Summer Longā just listen to that song and the lyricsā¦He will indeed be missedā¦
