(Is This the Way to) Amarillo was first recorded in 1971 by Tony Christie and was a great hit throughout Europe. In 2005 the re-release of the original Tony Christie version promoted by the comedian Peter Kaye was Britain’s best-selling single. The catchy melody of the chorus is also widely sung by sports fans and in 2006 it was played at the Football World Cup Final in Berlin. Stefan Schwalgin’s expert arrangement will certainly spice up any concert.
