Christopher Cross had a lot to live up to following his self-titled debut album, which had sold a million copies (now up to four million), spawned four Top 40 hits, including the number one hit,
"Sailing," and won him five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year (the last two for
"Sailing"), and Best New Artist. So, he took three years to make
Another Page, which, unsurprisingly, sounded a lot like its predecessor.
Cross concentrated on smooth
pop arrangements, over which be sang greeting-card romantic sentiments in an innocent,
Brian Wilson-like tenor. No one would confuse the result with anything truly heartfelt, or with real
rock & roll, but
Cross' soothing approach was still good enough to put two of his songs,
"All Right" and
"No Time for Talk," into the Top 40 and earn a gold record certification. Then, nearly a year after the album's release, TV soap opera
General Hospital began featuring the maudlin ballad
"Think of Laura," and
Another Page suddenly had a third single, this one a Top Ten hit.
