simply amazing...in 30 years, no one has ever again won the big four at the grammys: best new artist, record of the year, song of the year, & album of the year. christopher cross is the only artist to EVER accomplish this. 30 years later, this album is still classic soft rock.

His debut album is a MASTERPIECE of adult contemporary. There really isn't a bad cut on the entire disc. This guy has brilliant vocals, and the first album showcases his amazing vocal ability. This guy was a tremendous talent. [2]
