Chris Rea is from London, England.

“Driving Home for Christmas” was first released as a single in 1986, but it took two years 1988 for the song to make to #53 on the Singles Chart as more people began to hear and enjoy the song.

By 2003 the song hit #33 and it started to be included on Christmas albums by other artists.

Over the few years “Driving Home for Christmas” has become a must play on radio stations in the English-speaking world.

The recording is just a beautiful simple song and I would say that the song will be played for decades to come as even now it is being regarded as Christmas standard.

Chris has been around for 30 plus years and I highly recommend his albums.

Enjoy
