Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Cross formed in the late 1980s after Tears for Fears, with Roland Orzabal leading the group. They released three albums: 'Shove It' in 1988, 'Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know' in 1990, and 'Blue Rock' in 1993. Their song 'Don't Cry' appeared on that first album.
Other members included Curt Smith on bass and vocals until 1991, Chris Hughes on drums, Andy Connell on keyboards and guitar, and Mick MacNeil who joined on keyboards in 1990. Their music moved away from Tears for Fears' synth-pop toward rock and funk sounds.
Among their songs, 'Don't Cry' became particularly well-known, along with tracks like 'Penetration Guru,' 'Ain't Put Nothin' Down,' and 'Baby It's Alright.' The band's lineup changed over time, and they stopped releasing new music after the early 1990s.
