Christian Real Name Chris McClure, born in Ibrox, Glasgow, Scotland in 1943 into
a musical family. Chris never knew his father, an American entertainer called
Chris Gill, but he was in show business and as a child, his mother Leanorra,
taught Chris to dance and sing. Growing up he loved football but realized his
real talent was performing and aged nineteen Chris joined The Fireflies and
became their front man singer. Chris McClure and the Fireflies were a popular
60s Glasgow based group. They became known for their tight sound and vocal
harmonies specializing in Tamla Motown and Soul music. They played throughout
Scotland but were the resident band at the Flamingo after the Pathfinders and
also the Picasso Club in Buchanan Street, Glasgow. When the group featured in
the STV pop program called Stramash (1971) they changed their name to The Chris
McClure Section. The band continued to enjoy popularity in Scotland but as disco
became popular live bands were less in demand. Chris McClure embarked on a solo
career as Christian and was a very successful club act in
Scotland.
