About
"Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?" is the debut album by the British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in 1978. The title of the album is a reference to a name that Rea's UK record label (Magnet) had considered naming him to make him sound more attractive commercially. Produced by Gus Dudgeon (who also produced most of Elton John's albums in the 1970s), the album features Rod Argent (electric piano on track 1 and synthesizers on track 3), and Pete Wingfield (acoustic piano on tracks 2, 4, 5, 10, organ on tracks 4 and 5), electric piano on tracks 5, 6, and 9, and harpsichord on track 9), amongst other musicians.
