Christopher Cross – who had several hits in the early 1980's including "Sailing" and got the Grammy in 1980 for Best New Artist – also had some involvement with the Homer album Grown in U.S.A.  (Christopher Cross was born on May 3, 1951, same as me!).

 

Chet Himes exited Homer in 1974 to become a recording engineer and worked with Christopher Cross as well as Ted Nugent.
