About Chrystian (singer)
José Pereira da Silva Neto (3 November 1956 – 19 June 2024), better known by the stage name Chrystian, was a Brazilian singer of the sertanejo genre. With his brother Ralf he was part of the duo Chrystian & Ralf. == "Don't Say Goodbye" == In 1973 Chrystian scored his first hit with "Don't Say Goodbye". The song spent 19 weeks at number 1 on the charts. But despite the huge success, Chrystian still faced financial difficulties. Obliged to sing in English due to the fad of the record companies, at first he appeared almost as a "ghost" singer, since on the cover of his debut album, instead of his own photo, a model was used. He also couldn't appear on television so they wouldn't know he was a Brazilian singer. At that time, his main songs were: "Don't Say Goodbye" "Tears" "More Than You Know" "Everywhere" "Lies" "Emotions In My Heart" "Shadows" == Chrystian & Ralf duo == In the early 1980s Chrystian and Ralf finally decided to record country music. In December 1999 they announced their separation, which greatly shook fans and the artistic environment. In 2000 Chrystian released the CD Beijo Final under the BMG label, which circulated for two years.
