Chris De Burgh – Lady In Red

“The Lady in Red” – Single by Chris de Burgh from the album Into the Light. Released 20 June 1986.
Songwriter: Chris de Burgh

The song was written in reference to his wife Diane, who used to come and watch him perform at his parents’ hotel. It was released on the album Into the Light. On the British TV series This Is Your Life, de Burgh said that the song was inspired by the memory of when he first saw Diane, and how men so often cannot even remember what their wives were wearing when they first met.

The song was a massive hit across the world, quickly becoming de Burgh’s best-selling single and his signature song, transforming him from a cult artist into a household name in many countries.

Some interesting stuff about Chris de Burgh: he was born in Buenos Aires but moved with his family to Ireland when his diplomat father retired. He and Diane had two sons and a daughter named Rosanna Davison (Chris uses his mother’s maiden name for showbiz – his real name is Chris Davison) who was chosen Miss Ireland, 2003 and went on to win the Miss World pageant. De Burgh has talked about his “healing hands,” and how he can sometime cure maladies by laying his hands on people as a form of alternative therapy.
