Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1980 self-titled debut album and won five Grammy Awards, including – for the first time in Grammy history – the “Big Four” most prestigious awards: Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”) and Best New Artist.
In a career spanning more than four decades, Cross has sold more than 10 million albums. His music has also garnered an Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy nomination and five Top 10 singles. Cross joined Burt Bacharach to write “Arthur’s Theme,” for the movie “Arthur,” which won an Academy Award for Best Song.
With his 1983 release, “Another Page,” Cross was again in the Top 10 with the singles “All Right” and “Think of Laura.” His song “Swept Away,” composed for the hit TV series “Growing Pains,” was nominated for an Emmy. Cross started his own record label and, since 2007, has released eight albums.
They include “A Christopher Cross Christmas” and “The Café Carlyle Sessions,” jazz treatments of hits and favorites born out of a residency at The Hotel Carlyle in New York City. “Take Me as I Am,” released in 2018, features richly-crafted melodies and elegant guitar work.
The latest project for Christopher Cross Records is aptly titled “The Complete Works.” Released in 2020, it celebrates his 40th anniversary as a recording artist and is a collection of all 12 previously released CDs, one CD of singles and bonus tracks and a pink vinyl with one track from each album chosen by Cross.
Even though the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the 40th anniversary tour, Cross is again performing the carefully crafted songs and music his fans enjoy, starting with “Sailing” and “Ride Like the Wind” from his Grammy-winning debut album and continuing through the decades of his ever-changing but always excellent material.
