Chris Thompson

Chris Thompson is one of rock's great "unsung" vocal talents. Although many rock fans may not immediately recognize the name, his vocals have made a permanent mark on the landscape of modern rock. He first shook the popular music scene as the thunderous voice on the fantastically huge single "Blinded By The Light" with Manfred Mann's Earth Band, still in constant radio rotation 20 years later. Well known in the recording scene for his high-energy vocal power, his talent is in constant demand by the likes of rock legends Jan Hammer, Elton John and Alan Parsons. Chris has contributed songs and/or vocals to albums with such artists as: Jeff Wayne; Patrick Simmons; 'Hazel O'Connor (I)'; John Parr; Don Airey; Mike Oldfield; Jan Hammer; The Doobie Brothers; Tina Turner; Elton John; Roger Daltrey; Jefferson Starship; Brian May; Gary Moore; Barbara Dickson; Ozzy Osbourne; Michael J. McDonald; Robbie Nevil; Jane Wiedlin; Elkie Brooks; Rita Coolidge; Peter Maffay; Procol Harum; Bonnie Tyler; Isaac Hayes; Jennifer Rush and Ray Charles. Of particular note was the Number One hit around the world of "You're The Voice", recorded by John Farnham, later recorded by Chris with Alan Parsons.
