Christopher Cross, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien October 19, 2007

The chart topping ballad, 'Sailing,' made Christopher Cross a fixture on adult-contemporary radio and a Grammy winner in the early '80s. Other hits include 'Never Be the Same' and 'Think of Laura,' popularized by the daytime soap, 'General Hospital.'

Lodged into the hip-hop scene in 1990, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien (born Teren Delvon Jones) started by writing lyrics for his cousin Ice Cube's crew, The Lench Mob at the age of 18. From contributing to other people's albums, Del was able to create his first album, 'I Wish My Brother George Was Here,' in 1991. Other albums gave way to various elements of experimentation, such as 1994's 'No Need for Alarm,' 1998's 'Future Development' and his 2000 effort, 'Both Sides of the Brain.' Del has also collaborated with the Automator and Kid Koala as Deltron 3030.
