Ohio, he best you can do is not to fall in love.Christopher Cross was more of a low key folk singer than an 80s MTV pop star so the commercial excesses of the 80s was not really up his alley.Back in '81 I more or less ignored the song.Somehow in '07 I found it on my Itunes, and for weeks the song has been stuck in my head!This is one of the biggest head stickers of all time!This song also explains Christopher Cross's meteoric rise and crashing fall.He is, to this day, the only performer to win the Big Four awards at the Grammys.MTV did him in, he wasn't what I would call

I know this album has been called everything under he sun.Christopher Cross has a great sound.He just has the kind of sound that you don't mind playing over and over again.The Best Album of his career
This was the first album that I heard from Christopher Cross.Published on September 4, 2005 by A.Still Very, Very Nice 25 Years Later
I'm listening to this album right now and have to, once again, give it up to Christopher Cross, Michael Omartian, and all of the other performers on this superior effort...Cool breeze that wash away our mind
