Rea fängt mit einer kleinen Band namens "Magdalene" an zu musizieren.
ChrisRea verlässt daraufhin die Band und nimmt sein erstes Soloalbum "Whatever Happened To Benny Santini" auf, das den US Top 20 Hit "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" enthält und den Musiker so erstmals in die Charts katapultiert.

British singer and guitarist ChrisRea has enjoyed a run of popularity in Europe during the late '80s and early '90s after almost a decade of previous recording.
Rea started out performing with a local group called Magdalene, taking David Coverdale's place; the band won a national talent contest in 1975 as the Beautiful Losers, but still failed to get a record contract.
A compilation of tracks from Rea's '80s albums, New Light Through Old Windows, was released in 1988 and sold well in the U.K. and Europe and charted in the U.S. Rea followed it up with the critically acclaimed The Road to Hell, which many regarded as his best album.

The perfect album for a day at the beach, Rea's eighth album takes the listener from the water's edge of the title song to the sunny fields of the French countryside in 'Giverny'.
ChrisRea is known mostly for his first hit "Fool If You Think It's Over" and his album "Road to Hell" but his self titled fourth album may well be his best.
Rea has written, and songs like "Runaway" and "Goodbye Little Columbus" seem to float with infectious melodies.
