Chris Farlowe (born John Henry Deighton, 13 October 1940)[1] is an English rock, blues and soul singer.

[7] Farlowe moved to Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate label and recorded eleven singles, five of which were cover versions of Rolling Stones songs: "Paint It Black", "Think", "Ride On, Baby", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", and "Out of Time", which reached No.

[2] He recorded four more singles, the best known of which are Mike d'Abo's "Handbags and Gladrags",[6] and "My Way of Giving", a cover of a Small Faces album track written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane.

In 1978 Farlowe collaborated on two BBC Birmingham productions for which his former Colosseum bandmate Dave Greenslade wrote the theme music.

[10] The production was first shown on BBC Two and shot in its entirety on video at the University of Birmingham campus, with Magnus Magnusson as the narrator.

[14] On 30 July 2016, Farlowe appeared at Wembley Arena, performing his 1966 hit "Out of Time" as part of a show marking the 50th anniversary of the England football team's victory in the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final.

[15] Farlowe also collects war memorabilia, and once had a shop that sold Nazi uniforms, which had caused controversy at the time.
