DEF: Chris Christian “Ain’t Nothin’ Like the Real Thing/You’re All I Need to Get By”

Abilene, Texas-born musician Chris Christian made two appearances on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, both in the early 1980s. On this date in 1982, the second of those two songs — a medley of remakes of the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell hits “Ain’t Nothin’ Like the Real Thing” and “You’re All I Need to Get By” that also features New York-born musician Amy Holland — debuted at a peak position of number 88 where it would spend all three of its weeks on the chart. “Ain’t Nothin’ Like the Real Thing/You’re All I Need to Get By” by Chris Christian is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
