![]() I don't think Chris sounded like Cher and vice versa. IMHO her voice is very similar to Steve Winwood. The first time I heard One In A Million on the radio I did not even notice it was a duet because their voices are so similar. When I got the album and saw the credits is when I realized it was Steve.

Similar accents. Christine grew up in Smethwick, Steve in Kingstanding both districts of Birmingham in the Midlands (the Black Country) Also their musical background is the British blues sound of the 1960s. Both have that smokey bluesy sound. |

![]() I sent her a cardboard cut out of Christine. Can't remember how I got it. She loved it. Or maybe it was just a poster. Gosh, it was either or. My memory is shot.

It was the birthplace of the Industrial revolution, consequently there were many chimneys from foundries and factories polluting the atmosphere…causing discolouration of buildings. Also coal mining was prevalent in the Birmingham area both underground and open cast…. Hence the name Black country Obviously both are now part of history but the name stuck. (Though I prefer your description) |

![]() Bud Scopa in his RS review of BARE TREES said her approach was somewhere between Sandy Denny and Dusty Springfield. That still rings true for me. Her style is a bit closer to Sandy Denny but there are definite RB/Dusty overtones, too. I can’t picture Christine singing “Who Knows Where the Time Goes” with as much warbly vibrato as Sandy Denny but I can picture her singing a carbon copy version of Dusty’s “Lost.”
