Christopher Frederick Andrews (born 15 October 1942) is an English-German singer-songwriter and producer whose musical career started in the late 1950s.
Andrews wrote for many artists, notably fifteen songs for Sandie Shaw, including "As Long as You're Happy Baby", "Don't Run Away", "Girl Don't Come", "I'll Stop At Nothing", "Long Live Love", "Message Understood", "Nothing Comes Easy", "Run", "Show Me", "Think It All Over", "Today", "Tomorrow" and "You've Not Changed".
[5] One of the records made by the Ravers, which according to Andrews probably only sold around five copies, is said to have been purchased by Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones.
[11] As a songwriter, Andrews has also written "I'll Remember Tonight" for The Mamas & the Papas, "Our Love Has Gone" for The Fortunes and "Heart of Stone" for Suzi Quatro.
[2] As well as obtaining a high placing in the UK chart, "Yesterday Man" climbed to number one in Ireland and Germany.
[7] Later releases by Andrews were not as successful, but his own hits are seen as early examples of bluebeat influenced white pop music.
[citation needed] In South Africa, his later single releases proved particularly popular,[14] with "Pretty Belinda" (1969) and the 1970 45s "Carol OK" and "Brown Eyes" all topping the charts there.
Andrews remains active in his career as a singer-songwriter, working primarily in Germany, continental Europe and in the United Kingdom.
