Artist History For music lovers, the name Christopher Cross conjures up a wide variety of images: the hard-rocking narrative of "Ride Like the Wind"; the delicate introspection of "Sailing" and "Think of Laura"; the classic pop stylings of "Arthur's Theme" and "Never Be the Same." In these days of mind-numbing overspecialization, the word versatile says a great deal about an artist. Cross burst onto the scene early in 1980 with one of the most celebrated debut albums of all time, collecting a total of five GrammysŪ for the surprisingly mature first effort, which yielded four hit singles and sold more than six million copies worldwide. The huge success of "Arthur's Theme" followed immediately, earning an Academy Award for Christopher, Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager and Peter Allen, and firmly established Christopher in the pop music hierarchy. Today Christopher continues to keep busy touring and producing some great new music. He currently has 7 album releases, which still attracts a significant loyal following.
