Chris de Burgh - 20th Century Masters: The Best Of Chris De Burgh (2004)

Most listeners will remember Chris de Burgh for his international smash hit "The Lady in Red," the theme song to the movie of the same name (and eventually used in an ad campaign for Weight Watchers). However, what most don't realize is that de Burgh enjoyed international recording success both prior and after that big hit. This 20th Century Masters edition covers his lengthy tenure at A&M Records and is a wonderful introduction covering most of his important work. While not as thorough as some greatest-hits compilations available, this is an economically sensible and thorough introduction to the man who quietly had a place on the charts with his unique and extremely smooth vocal stylings.
