Album Number Three Hundred Ten. “Christopher Cross” is his eponymous debut album, released in December 1979. Recorded in mid-1979, the album was one of the early digitally recorded albums, utilizing the 3M Digital Recording System. In 1981, it won the Grammy Award for #AlbumOfTheYear, beating Pink Floyd's The Wall and it has been noted for being one of the most influential soft rock albums of the late 1970s and early 1980s. That Album of the Year Grammy was bestowed upon its producer, #michaelomartian. My copy is on #warnerbrosrecords - BSK 3383. According to Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the album was "a huge hit and widely acclaimed, at least among industry professionals (critics didn't give it a second listen), leading to multi-platinum success and Grammys." In retrospective appraisals, is regarded as a key release of #yachtrockmusic. One quote: "It’s actually a sonic outlier for the yacht rock genre, heavy on acoustic guitar and strings. But its message fits the genre (a fool searching for inner peace), and yeah, it’s still undeniably smooth." #rockandroll #softrock #poprockmusic #seventiesmusic #christophercross https://www.instagram.com/p/CcNhTIyOsVK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
