Chris was a gay folk singer noted for his catchy music and biting comical lyrics. Above all, he was dedicated to personal freedom. "If you want to sing out, sing out!" He was influenced by Groucho Marx as much as Cat Stevens, Donovan, and Melanie. His most popular songs were "Yesterday's Cabbage" and "Honest to God, I'm Gay". His later work had a deeper, more 'soul searching' quality, while his earlier songs were more funny and shocking. Of his hundreds of songs, only the handful presented here survive.
