The Very Best of Chris Rea is the third compilation album by British singer-songwriter Chris Rea, released in 2001. The last track "Saudade" was originally written and recorded in 1994 as a tribute to the formula 1 racing driver Ayrton Senna who died in a crash at Imola on 1 May that year. The word Saudade in Portuguese language roughly means the feeling, emotions and euphoria of a certain moment in time.[2] It reached #69 position in UK album charts,[3] and was certified Gold by BPI in 2004,[4] while Platinum by IFPI Austria in 2000.[5]
