British/Irish songwriter Chris DeBurgh was born in Argentina in 1948. He is best known for his 1986 hit single, "Lady In Red". The single made it to #1 on the UK chart and #3 in the US. His album Into the Light, reached number two in the UK. (number 25 in the U.S.). He had a few more top 40 hits in the UK but never again peaked in the United States.

The song was written in reference to (though not specifically about) his first wife Diane and was released on the album Into the Light. On the British TV series This Is Your Life, de Burgh said that the song was inspired by the memory of when he first saw Diane, and how men so often cannot even remember what their wives were wearing when they first met.
