4 out of 5 stars More Hits Than You Might Remember.......2007-06-05

My wife got this for me because when he'd come on the radio I would say "Do you remember this one?". Anyway, I was surprised how many songs on there I knew once I listened to it.

5 out of 5 stars CHRIS CROSS GREATNESS .......2007-05-14

What an awesome CD. The vintage songs that made him a hit so long ago, and a few new ones thrown in make an excellent ballance. if you're into great lyrics,and the supreem vocals of Christopher Cross, this provides it all.

5 out of 5 stars Good collection.......2007-03-11

This is a good collection of hits. They are in a nice order to listen to. Really glad I ordered it.

5 out of 5 stars "Sailing"-Nostalgia at it's Best!!!!.......2007-03-09

It was 1979, I was up at a cottage on the lake north of Toronto and it was sunset when I first heard "Sailing". Now everytime I hear that song I'm taken back to golden sunsets on the lake and this beautiful song playing.

Other great songs are "Arthur's Theme", "I Take You Forever", a great duet that came out in 1988 and I have fond memories of, "Think of Laura", a melancoly tune but a song that just take you back to the early 80's like "Arthur's Theme" and a modest hit from 1987 called "Swept Away", great song. I also first heard this song on a "Growing Pains" episode and loved it.

I'm all about the ballads on this CD. To me Christopher Cross' music takes me back to a wonderful nostalgic time in my life, as I'm sure so many of us can relate. His music puts a smile on your face. I agree with another reviewers comments about his looks-okay so he doesn't look like Brad Pitt-So What! He seems like a down to earth guy just singing from his heart and I think his fans wouldn't have it any other way.

5 out of 5 stars A Terrific Compilation of Christopher Cross!.......2007-02-12

I don't know why Christopher Cross' career took a nosedive because he's still one of the greats of easy listening even now. I love the song, Swept Away, which has always been my favorite. Maybe it's because it was used in the Growing Pains Hawaiian episodes. I love Sailing, Come to My Window, and of course, Arthur's theme. People will realize that Christopher Cross' music is still relevant, soothing, deeply relaxing, and classic because it holds up even in today's standards. Yes, I know it's not the 1980s anymore but when you hear Chris' singing, you can still remember it. At least with today, the internet and the computer age has allowed us to gain easier access to it. I remember searching every music store for this song. I'm not one of those people who burn their music off the internet. I'm old fashioned. I would rather buy it and listen to it on cds in my car or at the gym. When I hear him, I feel a little relaxed about life in general.

      5 out of 5 stars Hudson Tannis Audiophile from Queens,N.Y.......2001-12-19

      A superb collection,Christopher Cross music transcend race,culture and ethnic background.Track# 7 Think of Laura will blow your mind,it gives me emotional goose bumps.And that's only the tip of the iceberg,the whole collection is outstanding.

      5 out of 5 stars TRULY DEFINITIVE!.......2001-11-28

      This superb digitally remastered CD contains nineteen songs, at least seven of which were top hits. Ride Like The Wind, All Right, Say You'll Be Mine, Sailing, Never Be The Same, Arthur's Theme, and Think of Laura are all included. The other tracks are great also, reminding us of Cross' unique gifts as song-writer and stylist in today's crowded field of manufactured, mediocre talent. Cross alone penned most of his hits, but he sometimes collaborated with song-writing legends like Burt Bacharach, Carol Bayer Sager, and John Bettis. Such associations serve as testimony to the respect Cross commanded in the industry.

      The liner notes are poignant in detailing his rise to fame: 'Four years... eight hit singles, several world tours, five Grammys, and one Oscar later, Christopher rested...only to be usurped by that music merchandiser's dream, that music purist's nightmare...the music video, self-invented media darlings..no amount of quick cuts, exotic locations...could disguise the fact that on the outside Christopher Cross was just a regular guy...' Regular? Maybe. But his music is still powerful and soaring.
