Christopher Cross – All Right (The Worldwide Singles 1980-1988) (2xLP, Coloured vinyl)

Originally from San Antonio, Texas, and known as an exceptional guitar player besides being a tremendous songwriting talent, Christopher Cross released his eponymous debut at the end of 1979. With its first single "Ride Like The Wind" beginning a five-plus month run on the Billboard Hot 100 in February, peaking at Number 2 (for four weeks), the #1 smash "Sailing" wasn't far behind being released in May of 1980. "Never Be The Same" (# 15) and "Say You'll Be Mine" with Nicolette Larson on background vocals (# 20) all followed and made certain that Christopher Cross spent 1980 into 1981 dominating the charts and the airwaves.

In 1981, Cross achieved something no one had ever done before at the Grammy Awards. Cross swept the "Big Four" awards which included not only Best Album and Best New Artist, but both Record and Song of the Year for "Sailing." "Sailing" also took home the Grammy for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist to bring the awards total to five at the 23rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Cross' chart success continued with "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)," from the film Arthur. He not only hit No. 1 again, but won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Another Page's "All Right" and "No Time For Talk" landed in the Top 40, and "Think Of Laura" (popularized through its use on General Hospital) became his fourth Top 10 hit. "A Chance For Heaven (Swimming Theme From The Official Music Of The XXIIIrd Olympiad Los Angeles 1984)" hit No. 16 on the Adult Contemporary Charts, and "Loving Strangers (David's Theme From Nothing In Common)" cracked the Top 30.

All Right: The Worldwide Singles 1980-1988 collects all of Christopher Cross' domestic and international A-sides from those years. Available as a 2LP, the set contains the original single versions. The compilation is produced by multiple Grammy-winning producer Cheryl Pawelski and Brad Rosenberger and remastered by multiple Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves.
