Profile Edit

Chris Difford (born Christopher Henry Difford, 4 November 1954, Greenwich, London) is a singer, songwriter and record producer.

He has written lyrics for almost 30 years, most notably in partnership with Glenn Tilbrook. The two were primary members in Squeeze and Difford & Tilbrook. Some of their best-known songs are "Tempted", "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)", "Black Coffee in Bed", "Cool for Cats", "Up the Junction" and "Annie Get Your Gun".

Difford has also written lyrics for music by Jools Holland, Elton John, Wet Wet Wet, Marti Pellow and others. In 2004, Lisa Stansfield released the Trevor Horn produced single, "If I Hadn't Got You", co-written by Difford with Chris Braide, which became a hit in Europe.

In addition to his work with Squeeze, he has released three solo albums:

* I Didn't Get Where I Am, 2003

* South East Side Story, 2007 a bonus disk included with the DVD recording of Squeeze's greatest hits, included Difford singing acoustic versions of his favourite Squeeze tracks

* The Last Temptation of Chris, 2008

In 2008 he also wrote the lyrics to 'Let's Not Fight this Christmas', a song performed by Difford and The One Show team, in a bid to get a Christmas Number 1. The song hasn't made it into the top 100 UK Singles Chart as yet.
