Chrisye (born Chrismansyah Rahadi) was a progressive-pop Indonesian pop singer, of mixed Chinese-Indonesian descent. He was born in Jakarta on September 16, 1949, and died there on March 30, 2007 following a long battle with lung cancer.[1]. He recorded 21 solo albums in his lifetime. He married in 1982 to G.F. Damayanti Noor, who was also a singer; they had four children. Chrisye started recording in the band Gipsy in 1969. The band covered music including Procol Harum, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Genesis and Blood, Sweat & Tears, and ventured to the USA to play in New York. The band in 1976 collaborated with Guruh Soekarno Putra, one of the sons of former Indonesian President Soekarno, and brother of Megawati Soekarnoputri, subsequent Indonesian President, on Guruh Gipsy, a progressive rock album that combined prog rock with Balinese gamelan.[2]

His raise to fame came with the release of the critically acclaimed movie soundtrack “Badai Pasti Berlalu (The Storm Will Surely Pass)” in 1977. The album was done in collaboration with Eros Jarot (currently a member of Indonesian parliament) and Yockie Suryoprayogo, Indonesia’s first progressive musician. His first, and most popular solo single was in 1977 with Lilin Lilin Kecil (Little Candles), composed by James F. Sundah, who was a contestant of Prambors Radio teen song-writing contest.
