Chris Rea - Diamonds

[murrimagik]

He has one of those voices that make you sit down and listen to what he's singing, those were the days of real music, and I'm glad I grew up with it, thanx Chris..

[053tom]

have always loved this chris rea is a magican

[chriscos11]

absolutely one of the great songs of all time by one of the great voices...can't believe America missed out on this one...we aussies know a classic when we hear it...wonderful memories of the late 70's!

[nickwatt3]

And those backing singers. You definitely don't see enough skin tight leopard skin prints anymore. Still a great song

[Nakke144]

Chris without a guitar is just so wrong, lol. This song is great, though.

[EddieAlda]

top 10 smash hit in Australia in 1979. Totally ignored by American radio stations who think they know everything about music and what people should listen to. This is an allt-time favourite. His other great track, LOVING YOU AGAIN was also ignored by America. It was also a brilliant track. Who can understand yankee taste?

[TheMichaelseymour]

thats how you sing a song folks !

[TheMichaelseymour]

I was listening to this very broadcast in melbourne !! It was the first time i heard this song .....and i love it even more now ...one of my fav songs of all time ....B.T.W ..fuck diamonds !

[mlthomas33]

The US missed out on some great hits! I have this on an Australian "K-tel"...love it!

[RutgerHauerRules]

boy he looks young there!

[Jordmate]

Truly awesome Chris Rea, this would have to be my fav CR song

[sweetpea3339]

He still seems pretty young in this video. He dosen't look like that now!!!

[swakful]

deltics is the best album for me.

[franklindudeacough]

i'm going to see him in January or February, cool

[groverjuicy]

I love this song but doesn't Chris look a little too much like Danny Bonaduce? Does he still have that shirt???

[lagunamarquez]

ERA UN HOMBRE GUAPISIMO,QUE LE PASO

[WetWetWet10]

11 out of 10 for this fan-bluddy-tastic track, (if that was atall possible).

Thank you Chris, for giving me 30 years (next May 2009), of your

fabulous music, live gigs etc.

(The London Albert Hall gig a few months ago, was truly awesome, for example)

[Nellynog62]

Hmmm! Chris is pretty hot in this video.

[ArnoldGallagher]

Seeing Chris Rea looking this young makes me feel old! I remember the night I bought his first album. I was 19 and he was an old guy in his 20s.

[knobbyz]

"oh get away, dont come back". What a start!

[bermudarailway]

Who is he ?(reply to JINKS)

[SimonDolan]

Does he still wear the cap?

[asd36f]

@JlNKS

Did he need a chiropractor after this video? LOL!

[Moonsinger5432]

Yes! Come to the Southwest - come to Albuquerque! I've loved Chris since 1978 and I need to see him in concert!

[alexanderphd]

Chris, come to the States! Southwest, in particular!

[kitekate88]

too young too good :)

[culturalfantasists]

This was a promo video shot in St John's Wood studios - I produced it (directed by Ken O' Neil)

[syntelligence]

This is one of my favourite videos. Great driving rhythm - thanks a lot for posting. Even like the out of time lip synching from the girls (they look great though)

[SociallyConspicuos]

I'd like to see Chris REa correspond with Harry Vanda and George Young (Australia- Alberts studio)... to write a superhit for someone

[csapulette]

Harry Vanda from the Easybeats ?

[goldenell]

Thank you mate, always wanted to see a clip of a proper, yet underated, rock star....awesome. Look and learn rock pretenders!

[amiad1976]

awesome , good vocals and catchy tune rock on chris

[raven472007]

nice song

[raven472007]

Chris Rea - Diamonds

Oh getaway and don't come back

Who do you think you're fooling with lies like that?

You have dreams that set the rain on fire

Burning with a cheap desire

And it's plain as grey that what you say

Have meanings of their own

My love, my love, she don't need diamonds

[raven472007]

My love's more than a sweet dream And she don't need diamonds She shakes her hip to the tambourine And she don't need diamonds If you can't love me for nothing Then you can't love me at all And it's plain as grey that what you say Have meanings of their own We all got to dance, take a chance? But babe you should have stayed at home My love, my love, she don't need diamonds

[315elmwood]

OMG.. I love You Tube. This is incredible. Thanks for posting this!!!! Deltics.. wow

[1585465974I]

wonderful memory of 78-79. As an Aussie, I suspect this might have been a Countdown video intro'd by one late great Ted Mulry? AndyH

[joronz]

You are so right, 5th May 1979 to be exact.

[amiad1976]
