Chris de Burgh is an Anglo-Irish singer-songwriter, born in Argentina. He has been active since 1974, mainly in the genres of soft pop, soft rock and easy listening. [[Small Reference Pools]] know him by his 1986 hit ''[[Lady in Red]]'' and by extension other [[Silly Love Songs]], but his output is actually quite a bit more varied than that. He often uses religious themes in his songs, sometimes explicitly and sometimes more of the [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]] variety. He is also known due to his daughter Rosanna ([[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|the subject of the song]] ''[[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Rosanna]]'') winning Miss World in 2003 (as Miss Ireland) and for being the [[Arch Enemy]] of musical comedian [[Bill Bailey]]. |
