Background notes

Archive material and source history

Chris Thompson first gained attention as the lead singer for Manfred Mann's Earth Band in the 1970s. His voice was on their version of "Blinded by the Light," which became one of their better-known tracks.

He went solo in 1982 with a self-titled album. That record included "If You Remember Me," a ballad that did well in a few countries. Later songs like "Ticket to Thailand" and "Bridge Across the River" appeared in his catalog, though they didn't reach the same level of recognition.

Thompson has worked with other artists here and there, including a stint back with Manfred Mann's Earth Band in the early 1990s. He's kept recording on his own since, with songs like "Wasting Time" and "Girls Kick Ass" showing up in his setlists.
