Chris de burgh into the light audio


Into the Light is eighth studio album by British-Irish singer Chris de Burgh. It was released by A&M Records in 1986. The album is notable for containing what is easily de Burgh's biggest hit, "The Lady in Red", one of the most instantly recognisable and often-played love songs.

Contents

The album peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart, becoming de Burgh's first studio album to enter the top ten.

"Fatal Hesitation" was a UK number 44 hit, spending four weeks on the chart. "Say Goodbye to It All" was a continuation of the song "Borderline" from 1982's The Getaway. Both songs frequently appear in de Burgh's concerts and compilation albums. The song "For Rosanna" is dedicated to de Burgh's then-2-year-old daughter Rosanna.
