Chris Norman - Greatest Hits (2008) [2CD]

Christopher Ward Norman is an English musician, first known for being the leader and voice of Smokie, a glam rock group he formed in the 1970s with colleagues from Bradford. 

But the second thing and what concerns us here is that he has also carved out a long solo career, from his success in the 80s, going through the 90s in which his popularity dropped a lot and finally around 2000 in which he recovered. 

He is still going strong today, with especially success in Germany (in Spain he is not so well known), I imagine partly because of his collaborations with the infamous Dieter Bohlen. 

Chris Norman plays punchy soft rock (I prefer Smokie) with good moments like Love for Sale, Sarah (You Take My Breath Away), Hearts of Fire, Danny Code, Long Way Home, Miss Today, I Want You, Turn Right Turn Wrong and Lay Me Down. Stumblin' in with C.C. I like Catch less than the original with Suzi Quatro.
