Christopher Ward "Chris" Norman (born 25 October 1950) is an English soft rock singer. Norman was the lead singer of Smokie, an English soft rock band from Bradford, which found success in Europe in the 1970s.
With the advent of rock and roll, Norman acquired his first guitar at the age of seven. His early musical influences were Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Lonnie Donegan.
In these early years, Norman's parents moved around the country a lot which resulted in him going to nine different schools, and living in various locations around England, such as, Redcar, Luton, Kimpton and Nottingham. By 1962 however, the family had moved back to Norman's mother's home city of Bradford. Approaching his twelfth birthday, Norman started at St. Bede's Grammar School where he was to meet Alan Silson and Terry Uttley, future members of Smokie.
As teenagers, influenced by the new era of groups such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and then folk singer, Bob Dylan, Norman and Silson began meeting up and spent nearly all their spare time learning new songs on their guitars. They managed to persuade Uttley to join them and, along with a drummer friend called Ron Kelly, they formed their first band. The Yen, Essence, and Long Side Down were just some of a variety of names they called themselves before settling on "The Elizabethans". When Ron Kelly left the group in 1973, an old friend called Pete Spencer was asked to take over on the drums, and the group, which was to become Smokie, was complete.

It's just another day
and just cos you've gone away
it doesn't mean I am gonna miss you
there's so many things to do
so why should I think of you
now don't you go thinking I'll be lonely
And don't say I'm going out my mind
'cos that's not funny
I know I'll get used to it in time
so I won't worry now
It's not that I miss you
it's not that I need you
it's just that I cry a lot more now
I've moved to a place that's new
it seemed the right thing to do
'cos there's nothing left here to remind me
surrounded by all my freinds
like a party that never ends
oh please don't you bother tryin' to find me
Ignoring the writing on the wall
I don't regret it
it tell you there's nothing wrong at all
so just forget it now
It's not that I miss you
it's not that I need you
