Chris de Burgh in Internet
Chris de Burgh signed his first contract with A&M Records in 1974, and supported Supertramp on their Crime of the Century tour, building himself a small fan base.
His début, Far Beyond These Castle Walls, was a folk-tinged stab at fantasy in the tradition of the Moody Blues that failed to chart upon its release in February 1975.
That July, he released a single from the album called Flying.
It didn't make an impression in the U.K., but it stayed on top of the Brazilian charts for 17 weeks.
This became a familiar pattern for the singer/songwriter, as every one of his '70s albums failed to chart in the U.K.
or U.S.
while they racked up big sales in European and South American countries.
In 1981, he had his first U.K.
chart entry with Best Moves, a collection culled from his early albums.
It set the stage for 1982's Rupert Hine-produced The Getaway, which reached number 30 on the U.K.
charts and number 43 in the U.S., thanks to the eerie single Don't Pay the Ferryman.
Chris de Burgh's follow-up album, Man on the Line, also performed well, charting at 69 in the U.S.
and 11 in the U.K.
Chris de Burgh had an across-the-board success with the languid ballad The Lady in Red in late 1986; the single became a number one hit in England (number three in America) and its accompanying album, Into the Light, reached number two in the U.K.
(number 25 in the U.S.).
That Christmas season, a re-release of de Burgh's 1976 Christmas song A Spaceman Came Travelling became a Top 40 hit in the U.K.
Flying Colours, his follow-up to Into the Light, entered the British charts at number one upon its 1988 release, yet it failed to make the American charts.
de Burgh never hit the U.S.
charts again and his commercial fortunes began to slide slightly in Britain in the early '90s, yet he retained a following around the world.
This is mainly due to inactivity of his previous recording label A&M Records U.K.
