Hey music lovers! Ready to sail away into a sea of awesome nostalgia? Christopher Cross, the smooth voice behind the famous "yacht rock" anthem, "Sailing," is back in the spotlight and making waves. Released in 1979, this dreamy track cruised to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and made Cross a legend in the music world.
"Sailing" wasn't just a hit—it was a chart-topping sensation and one of four hits from Cross's self-titled album that snagged him a whopping five Grammy Awards in 1981. Talk about making history! And fun fact: only Billie Eilish has matched that Big Four Grammy sweep since, in 2020.
If you secretly loved "Sailing" in the '90s, it's totally cool because today, it's the ultimate chill-out tune. Christopher Cross, alongside his angelic voice and epic guitar skills, dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live recently to serenade everyone with this timeless classic—don't miss the vibe in the video!
Back in action after battling a tough health scare with Guillaine-Barre Syndrome following his COVID-19 encounter, Cross has shown true rockstar resilience. Five years ago, he was facing unimaginable challenges, even paralysis. But he’s back, healthier than ever and ready to share his music again.
Mark your calendars—this Friday, November 14, Cross is dropping All Right: The Worldwide Singles 1980-1988. It's his first-ever collection covering all his iconic hits, like the award-winning "Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)." Get it through Omnivore Recordings and relive those golden hits!
And guess what? Cross is heading out for some epic live performances! This December, he’s hitting the stage across South America with ‘80s legends Toto. Plus, he’s got a European tour lined up for May 2026. Grab your tickets and let Cross take you on a nostalgic musical journey with his unforgettable sounds!
