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.

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.
