Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky-gravel voice and slide guitar playing, and the Guinness Rockopedia described him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart". After learning to play the guitar relatively late in his early twenties, which was followed by a short local band activity, Rea began his solo career in 1978 and has produced twenty-five solo albums, but some of them from his later blues period like Blue Guitars (2005) have multiple discs. The British Hit Singles & Albums stated that Rea was "one of the most popular UK singer-songwriters of the late 1980s" and "already a major European star by the time he finally cracked the UK Top 10 with the release of the single "The Road to Hell (Part 2)", which was his 18th chart entry." Two of his most successful studio albums, The Road to Hell (1989) and Auberge (1991), topped the UK Albums Chart. His other hit songs include "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat", "Stainsby Girls", "Josephine", "On the Beach", "Let's Dance", "Driving Home for Christmas", "Working on It", "Tell Me There's a Heaven", "Auberge", "Looking for the Summer", "Winter Song", "Nothing to Fear", "Julia", and "If You Were Me", a duet with Elton John. Rea was nominated three times for the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist: in 1988, 1989 and 1990. Rea has never toured the United States and is best known there for the 1978 single "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", which reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. This success earned him a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1978. As of 2009, Rea had sold more than 30 million records worldwide. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 1978 30 Fool (If You Think It's Over) -1- 1979 44 Diamonds -1- 1982 65 Loving You -1- 1983 85 Let It Loose -1- 1983 60 I Can Hear Your Heartbeat -2- 1984 65 I Don't Know What It Is But I Love It -1- 1984 86 Touche D'Amour -2- 1984 78 Ace Of Hearts -3- 1985 26 Stainsby Girls -1- 1985 67 Josephine -2- 1986 69 It's All Gone -1- 1986 12 On The Beach -2- 1986 79 Hello Friend -3- 1987 12 Let's Dance -1- 1987 47 Loving You Again -2- 1987 67 Joys Of Christmas -3- 1988 73 Que Sera -4- 1988 11 Driving Home For Christmas -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1989 53 Working On It -1- 1989 10 The Road To Hell (Part 2) -1- 1989 83 That's What They Always Say -2- 1990 24 Tell Me There's A Heaven -3- 1990 69 Texas -4- 1991 16 Auberge -1- 1991 57 Heaven -2- 1991 49 Looking For The Summer -3- 1991 27 Winter Song -4- 1992 16 Nothing To Fear -1- 1992 31 God's Great Banana Skin -2- 1993 53 Soft Top Hard Shoulder -3- 1993 18 Julia -1- 1994 28 You Can Go Your Own Way -1- 1996 77 Girl In A Sports Car -2- 1996 41 'Disco' La Passione (Chris Rea & Shirley Bassey) -1- 1997 44 Let's Dance (Middlesbrough FC feat.
