Christopher Cross won Best New Artist at the Grammys in 1980, as well as record, song, album of the year. And then the Oscar for Best Song for "Arthur."
Then he "Rode Like the Wind" out of town & never achieved that much success since.
Another example of talent being in the right place at the right time, I guess, and then enjoying success in the spotlight.
For most, no success at all by industry standards...and for those who do get lucky, success is fleeting for all but a very few......
