Tony Christie is a legendary British singer.
He is best known for his recording of ‘(Is This The Way To) Amarillo’, a double UK chart success. By 1972, the record had sold over a million copies.
His first taste of commercial success was in 1971 with the #21 track ‘Las Vegas’.
Tony Christie followed up this success with the ‘I Did What I Did For Maria’ and ‘Amarillo’.
He played Magaldi on the 1976 album recording of ‘Evita’.
He enjoyed a resurgence when his song ‘Amarillo’ was featured on Peter Kay’s comedy series ‘Phoenix Nights’. This renewed appreciation for his work led to a re-release of the song in aid of Comic Relief.
Over the course of his career, Tony has performed a vast array of memorable songs – many of which remain popular to this day.
