70s pop rock giant at his best

"Chris Norman was the pulling power and character color behind the energetic and uplifting rock of Smokie. You can feel Smokie spirit in Norman's solo work, save for the song-writing genius of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, whose ultra-crisp tunes were central to this one of the most feel-good rock bands in history.Norman is a consummate professional of the simpler era of rock'n'roll where singers had no problem to show the warmth, the stregth and the old-fashioned sensuous edge of their voice. He comes from the age where melody counted and where rock orchestration was masterfully professional.It would be perhaps excessive to say that the music was ground-breaking: it is just a very, very good rock-and-roll performed by artists at the pinnacle of their profession. This accounts for the lasting power.In my book, Chris Norman is Frank Sinatra of rock. Long live his blue jeans and leather jacket."

Classics.

"Perhaps one of the best voices...ever. There is that warmth that touches his listeners, that feeling that you rarely get from any artist today. This album, covers 16 of his best songs. The selection captures Chris Norman's greatest original recordings.
Recommended."
