105.7 KOKZ is your home for Classic American Top 40 countdowns every weekend! Saturday at 9 Casey features the top songs from December 12th, 1970 and on Sunday at 8 the top 40 from December 13th, 1980, it’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Christopher Cross with “Never Be the Same”.
In the land before MTV made everyone video stars, Christopher Cross and his debut album owned the charts in 1980. Released in December of 1979, the project won 5 Grammy Awards including Album of the Year and Christopher was named the Best New Artist. Delivering hits like “Ride Like the Wind”, and “Sailing”, “Never Be the Same” was the third hit from the album and reached #15 on the charts.
I found a live 1998 video of Christopher Cross performing “Never Be the Same” today’s Forgotten 45.
