Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Known affectionately as "Salford's answer to Pavarotti," UK classical music singer Russell Watson has proved adept at mixing up his classical repertoire with popular 20th century compositions. On previous albums, Watson has tackled songs by pop artists as diverse as Ultravox ("Vienna") Simon and Garfunkel ("Bridge Over Troubled Waters") and Freddie Mercury ("Barcelona"); but on That’s Life he turns his attention fully to the world of popular romance for the first time. Following in the sprightly footsteps of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole, Watson approaches classics like "Strangers In The Night", "When I Fall In Love" and "Born Free" with typical verve. The selection serves to showcase Watson's natural versatility to wonderful effect, and also gives him the opportunity to perform duets with acclaimed contemporary pop stars such as Alexander O'Neal and Jocelyn Brown. While the choice of songs on That’s Life is nothing extraordinary, listening to one of Britain's finest tenors delivering some of the world's most eternal love songs is an opportunity not to be missed. --Danny McKenna
About the Artist
Tenor superstar Russell Watson is aiming to break new ground and force the boundaries. His new record is a collection of some of his lifelong favourite songs, and recording at the legendary Capitol studios in Los Angeles seemed the only way to do these songs justice - by bringing them back to their original home.

About the Artist
Tenor superstar Russell Watson is aiming to break new ground and force the boundaries. His new record is a collection of some of his lifelong favourite songs, and recording at the legendary Capitol studios in Los Angeles seemed the only way to do these songs justice - by bringing them back to their original home.
With a collection of classic songs including 'Strangers in the Night', 'When I Fall in Love' and 'Born Free', Russell has truly encapsulated the magic of the golden era of music within this record.
Whilst recording this record he received news that no one would want to hear - he was diagnosed as having a brain tumour. Despite this news, he kept it secret from everyone and soldiered on to complete the record.
To sum it up this record is quite simply a story of passion versus emotion and there really is only one possible title. 'That's Life.
