Okay,time for the answer.

We have 3 exact votes for stage and 1 (J.J.) for real name. Annie did a 1/2 & 1/2,which is not so much a vote as it is a bit of a give away,if you know Top 40 like I do.

Christopher Cross is...exactly what Annie said! His 1st name is real,"Cross" is just a catchy word someone at WB suggested. His real last name is Geppert. (I like it! )

Oh,J.J.,yes there was the teen rap duo Kris Kross from 1992 to 1996. In '92 they had a #1 hit with,"Jump" (No not Van Halen's) That lead to A DJ here in Phoenix making a joke about the 2 "Crosses" doing each other's music!

Way to go Station,djb and LSH! Okay next!

Englebert Humperdinck. Later!

If I recall correctly, its the singer's stage name, but actually is someone else's real name, some conductor or composer, I think. So apparently, someone CAN be that cruel to a baby.
