SUMMARY:Christopher Cross
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1980 self
 -titled debut album\, winning five Grammy Awards\, including—for the fir
 st time in Grammy history—the “Big Four” most prestigious awards: Re
 cord of the Year (for the single “Sailing”)\, Album of the Year\, Song
  of the Year (also “Sailing”)\, and Best New Artist.\n\nIn a career sp
 anning over five decades\, Cross has sold over 10 million albums. His musi
 c has garnered five Grammys\, an Oscar\, a Golden Globe\, an Emmy nominati
 on and five Top 10 singles. Within a year of the first album’s release\,
  Cross was keeping company with music royalty like Burt Bacharach and Caro
 le Bayer Sager and through that collaboration won an Oscar for “Arthur
 ’s Theme\,” the theme song for the movie Arthur. With his 1983 release
 \, Another Page\, Cross was again in the Top 10 with the singles “Alrigh
 t” and “Think of Laura.”\n\nHis song\, “Swept Away\,” composed f
 or the hit television series\, Growing Pains\, was nominated for an Emmy i
 n 1988. His creative flame continues to burn brighter than ever\, and 12 a
 lbums since 1980 demonstrate not only are his first fans listening enthusi
 astically\, but a new generation is discovering his music. Cross is reward
 ing them all with ever more richly-crafted melodies and elegant guitar wor
 k as featured in his latest work\, Take Me As I Am (2018).\n\nAll in all\,
  it’s been quite a ride\, one that’s taken Cross from his early days i
 n Texas where he once served as a drum tech for Ginger Baker\, bought gear
  from Jimmy Page\, played lead guitar for Deep Purple on a night when Ritc
 hie Blackmore fell ill\, among other unique experiences\; to his current r
 ole as an ever-evolving musician touring the world. A box set commemoratin
 g his multi-decade long career will be released in 2020. In 2020\, Christo
 pher Cross celebrates the 40th anniversary of his breakthrough debut album
  with a major tour featuring songs from his debut album: “Sailing\,” 
 “Ride Like the Wind\,” “Say You’ll Be Mine\,” and more.
