This singer-songwriter fused rock and pop to craft the groundbreaking sound of his GRAMMY-winning eponymous masterpiece in 1980, featuring songs such as “Ride Like the Wind” that still delight audiences today.

• With three No. 1 hits on the Billboard charts in just 3 years, Cross established his delicate vocal stylings and shimmering guitar melodies as mainstays of 1980s rock radio. 
• At the 1980 GRAMMY Awards, Cross became the only artist to have won Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year as well as Best New Artist in the same night.
• The song “Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do),” co-written by Cross, Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen for the acclaimed film Arthur, won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and was performed by Cross at the ceremony. 
• iTunes says of his most recent album, Doctor Faith (2011), “[Cross’s] talent remains and Doctor Faith is a nicely and carefully crafted album with songs just as emotionally true and striking as his earlier work.”
