Tony Christie
Tony’s stream of international hits include the 1971 chart-topper ‘Show Me the Way to Amarillo’ – the track for which he is best known.
Having maintained a successful singing career in Europe over the decades, Tony gained new popularity again in the UK when Peter Kay chose ‘Show Me the Way to Amarillo’ as soundtrack to his Phoenix Nights in 2002. Further resurgence was enjoyed when the track was re-released in 2005 for Comic Release – getting to No 1 and staying there for 7 weeks.
Soon after Tony’s Definitive album made it to No 1 and in 2008, Made in Sheffield was released featuring contributions from Alex Turner and Jarvis Cocker.
