Tony Christie feat. All Seeing I - Walk Like a Panther 1999

Tony Christie releases his new studio album, 'Made In Sheffield' through Decca/Autonomy Recordings on 10 November 2008.
"Made In Sheffield" is the sound of Britain's most enduring voice of timeless pop coming of age, and the sound of a Yorkshire city receiving the opus that its rich cultural history deserves, from one of its most beloved sons.
Produced by lifelong Tony Christie fans, Richard Hawley and Colin Elliot, "Made In Sheffield" is a beautiful dedication to the city that Tony Christie grew up around, featuring new recordings of songs by the city's most revered contemporary artists and songs by unknown city songwriters deserving of acclaim.
It is a record dreamed up on the roads of late night Sheffield, and one that's fruition stretc2hes far beyond the simplest of dreams,
Tony Christie, "I was in the middle of an album project, when on the drive back home after a late session, I heard 'Coles Corner' by Richard Hawley on the radio. I said to my son, "that's the sort of production I should be getting.""
Unbeknownst to him, Richard Hawley had already sent him over 'Coles Corner' four years ago, but due to prior commitments they were unable to record the track together.
