Christopher Cross is an American singer and songwriter. Christopher has written all his own songs, other than “Nature’s Way” that appears on his Window album. He is best known for composing “Arthur’s Theme” (with Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager) from the Dudley Moore film Arthur which won the Academy Award for best song in 1981 (with co-composers Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager and Peter Allen), and the soft rock classic, “Sailing”.

Cross released his self-titled debut album Christopher Cross in 1979 which garnered him 5 Grammy Awards. He is the only artist in history to receive all of the “Big Four” Grammy Awards (Best Record, Song, Album, and New Artist) in the same year. Hits from this album, along with “Sailing”, included “Ride Like the Wind” and “Never Be the Same”.

so much about this guy's music has kept it at classic status in the nearly 30 years since it's release. christopher cross, one hit wonder though some may call him, remains the only artist to EVER win all of the big four grammy's in a single night: record of the year, song of the year, album of the year & best new artist. sailing, never be the same, & ride like the wind set it off properly for him & were extended by "the best that you can do" & "think of laura." somebody better pay homage to this guy quickly before i lose patience!! no easy listening/soft rock radio station/playlist is complete without those essential 5 songs
