Notes: Having suffered a commercial decline with the ballad-filled Another Page, Christopher Cross took a harder rocking approach with his third album, Every Turn of the World. Gone were the L.A. session aces and the SoCal chorus of famous fellow pop singers, as Cross wielded his SynthAxe and producer/co-writer, Michael Omartian his keyboards, along with a rhythm section, on a selection of up-tempo songs, many of which had 'save-the-world' themes. It didn't work. "Charm the Snake," the typically energetic lead-off single, sputtered on the charts, while Cross' core audience of "adult contemporary" ballad fans deserted him, and the album was a sales disaster. If anybody had tried turning over the LP and sampling tunes like The Beach Boys tribute, "Love Found a Home," they would have discovered a couple of more characteristic Cross songs, but it was too little, too late. ~ William Ruhlmann

Christopher Cross shot to stardom with the release of his self-titled debut album in 1980. Cross's smooth brand of adult contemporary pop set the standard for the genre in the `80s, as the singles "Ride Like the Wind" and "Sailing" were a constant presence on the radio. Cross walked away with an unprecedented five Grammys for the album, and shortly after had another smash hit with "Arthur's Theme (The Best That You Can Do)," a song he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen for the film ARTHUR. The single "Think of Laura" from his sophomore effort ANOTHER PAGE cracked the Top Ten, but otherwise Cross never repeated the phenomenal success of his debut. He continued to record and tour throughout the `90s and 2000s, releasing the albums EVERY TURN OF THE WORLD and THE RED ROOM, among others.
