The Very Best of Chris Rea is the third compilation album by the 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. In Portuguese, the word saudade roughly means the feeling, emotions and euphoria of a certain moment in time.[2] It reached #69 position in the UK album charts,[3] and was certified Gold by the BPI in 2004[4] and Platinum by IFPI Austria in 2000.[5]
