DEF: Christopher Cross “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)”
San Antonio-born musician Christopher Cross has appeared on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart ten times, all between 1980 and 1985. The first eight of those songs reached the Top 40, with four of those songs hitting the Top 10. Amid all of that success, Cross’s biggest hit is “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” from the 1981 film Arthur. Exactly 35 years ago, “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” climbed to number one for a three-week reign. To commemorate that anniversary, Christopher Cross’s biggest hit is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
