Christopher Cross was far and away the biggest new star of 1980, most shaping grownup contemporaneous wireless with a series of smoothly sophisticated ballads including the chart-topping "Navigation"; seemingly as quick as he scene to celebrity, yet, his star descended, although he continued recording and touring for days to come. Born Christopher Geppert in San Antonio, TX on May 3, 1951, Cross number one surfaced in the Austin-based cover band Flash before signing a solo condense with Warner Bros. in the autumn of 1978. 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." He before long scored a arcsecond number one as well as an Academy Award with "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)," which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen for the blast Dudley Moore motion picture clowning Arthur. Cross' much-anticipated soph travail Another Page arrived in 1983, merely leave off for the Top Ten entry "Think of Laura" (popularized through its constant presence on the day max phenomenon General Hospital), the record album failed to repeat the achiever of its predecessor, and pretty surprisingly, he ne'er returned to the Top 40 over again. Every Turn of the World appeared to little notice in 1985, and when 1988's Back of My Mind failed to chart altogether, Cross was dropped by Warner. His next album, Rendezvous, did not appear until five-spot age later on BMG. Window followed in 1995, and in 1998 he sign to CMC International for Walking in Avalon, a two-disc attempt split between fresh studio real and live recordings of his past hits. Cross returned in the springtime of 2000 with The Red Room.
