🎼3 May 1951. Happy 70th Birthday 🥳🍾 to Christopher Cross, born Christopher Charles Geppert in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
This is perhaps why he was so eager to "make it to the border of Mexico"! 😉 He is in fact the original author of the song Ride Like The Wind I posted for this morning's Monday Recharger☝️
His debut album of 1979, sold millions of copies, won 4 Grammy Awards and reached the 🔝 in US Charts: it is still today considered one of the best soft rock albums of all time.
Originally #ChristopherCross played in a Deep Purple cover band, and when at some point in the 70s the true #DeepPurple came to play in Texas, their #guitarist Richie Blackmore fell ill some hours before the concert and Christopher substituded him for that night 😳🎸👏
I guess it was then, that he realized he could really "make it to the borders of... success"!!! 👍🏻🔝
I post in the Chat Room👇 his most famous songs and the original version of my favorite one which is, as you probably understood, Ride Like the Wind 😃 #3May
