A Scottish music legend, Rae scored popular recognition in 1986 with Over the Sea, the video of which features the kilted, helmeted, claymore-brandishing Rae in New York City, the Scottish Highlands and Edinburgh, winning him a Vira award.
In 2009 Over The Sea was picked as the new Tartan Army national anthem.
As a songwriter, Rae is best known for the 1982 Odyssey hit single, Inside Out.
