Isaak is definitley over 6ft. I am 5'10 and saw him at a record signing. He was at least 2 inches taller than me when he stood up. Not sure what drugs the folks who say he is 5/10 or less are on...?

I have seen him several times and have stood next to him and talked to him several times as well. I am 5'11" and he was about an inch shorter than me. I always wear flat shoes and he was in sneakers both times. It was after the shows when he stays to sign autographs and talk to the fans. He is an amazing performer and a kind, humble man. Maybe only 5'10", but a giant none the less.

The two-disc edition of BEYOND THE SUN contains photos in the liner notes of a young Isaak from the 1970s when he was a fledging singer and amateur boxer. Apparently, he studied in Japan and there is a picture of his Japanese driver's license. The height on the DL listed him at 185 cm, i.e., 6'1". When I saw him in concert last summer, he looked like a textbook 6'1". I think he's one of few celebrities who's honest about his height.

His new album, BEYOND THE SUN, came out yesterday. Looking forward to it as he's doing classic Sun Records (Elvis) and Roy Orbison covers!

Usually, it's fun to peruse the site and read others' opinions on celebrities heights, but this is not one of those occasions. Some posters obviously haven't seen this guy in person and up close despite their claims. I was less than twenty feet away from him when he performed at American Music Theater in Lancaster, PA last July. The man IS NOT short. 6'1" is correct for Chris Isaak. He usually wears either cowboy boots or Italian style elevator shoes--he wore the latter at the concert I saw him at. He always looks 6'2" in shoes with a heel, so 6'1" is correct for him.

I stood next to Chris Isaak when he was on tour with Natalie Merchant. I am 6' even and he was waaay shorter than me. Prob 5'7. This wasn't a guess from his appearance on stage but from standing next to me while he was getting ready to run thru the crowd. He's a lil guy

He is the greatest male singer in the world. Absolutely love his brand of retrorock, especially his vintage Gibson sound. I saw him play live with his band, Silvertone, at The American Music Theater in Lancaster, PA on 18 July 2010. I was seated about 20 feet from stage. He and his guitarist, Hershel Yatovitz, are both tall; roughly the same height. He's over 6' tall. I would guess 6'1"--I think 6'2" more likely. He is a tall guy; very spry and in fantastic shape for a 54 year old man--he moved better than 20somethings I know. Electrifying stage performer.

P.S.--Lots of ladies, young & old, in the crowd. He did a breathtaking cover of "Pretty Woman"--and those ladies ALL went to pieces!

He is more like 6'2". He has a brother that is 6'7". Big family
