His self-titled debut LP appeared deuce long time afterwards, with the jumper cable individual "Ride Like the Wind" rocketing to the act two spot; the massive success of the moment single "Sailing" made Cross a superstar, and in the wake of deuce more Top 20 hits, "Ne'er Be the Same" and "Say You'll Be Mine," he walked off with a record-setting five Grammys in 1981, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for "Navigation."
