Background notes
Archive material and source history
Henry Gross is best known for his 1977 single "Shannon," a ballad that reached the top of the charts. The song's success came from its straightforward emotional pull rather than any grand artistic statement. He followed it with an album of the same name the next year.
He was born in Germany in 1951 and grew up listening to folk and blues artists like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. That background shows in the direct, narrative style of his songwriting. He has worked primarily as a solo artist, though he has occasionally performed with other musicians.
Gross released several albums through the early 1980s, including "Dreamland" and "Sound of Love." After a long gap, he returned with "The Third Voice" in 2011, an album noted for its personal lyrics. He put out another record, "The Missing Years," a few years later.
