Cross released his self-titled debut album '' Christopher Cross '' in 1979 which garnered him 5 Grammy Awards. He and Norah Jones are the only two artists in history to receive all of the "Big Four" Grammy Awards (Best Record, Song, Album, and New Artist) in the same year. Hits from this album included " Sailing ", "Ride Like the Wind" and "Never Be the Same". His second album, '' Another Page '', which came out in 1982 , included the hit songs "Think Of Laura" and "All Right". Many people associate "Think of Laura" with the " Luke And Laura " plotline of the Soap Opera '' General Hospital '', which was very popular at the time, but it was actually written about a friend of Christopher's (named Laura) who had recently been killed by a stray bullet while riding in the back of a car. The '' Family Guy '' character Chris Griffin is thought to be named after Cross, with his full name being "Christopher Cross Griffin", although it has been suggested that he is named after Kriss Kross. Also, Christopher Cross performed "Sailing" with the band NSync at the 2000 Blockbuster Awards . DISCOGRAPHY
