• In the late 1970s, disco and hard rock ruled the charts and there was seemingly no room for a fresh unique sound. Enter Christopher Cross and his now classic self-titled first album.

  Originally from San Antonio, TX, and known as an exceptional guitar player besides being a tremendous songwriting talent, Christopher Cross’s self-titled album, was released in the last month of the 1970s and its first single, “Ride Like the Wind,” with the ubiquitous Michael McDonald on backing vocals, began a five-plus month run on the Billboard Hot 100 in February, peaking at #2 in April of 1980.

  Produced by frequent Steely Dan sideman Michael Omartian, the sounds on this album put “soft rock” (or what much later became known as “yacht rock”) high upon the charts. Cross’ debut album spawned four Top 20 hits including “Never Be the Same”
