I am shocked that noone has mentioned that this song won the Oscar for best original song!!
You mentioned it before I could ✌️😎
Were you really "shocked"? The film "Arthur" was probably released way before anybody on this channel was even born. I mean how many people out of 100 random strangers would know that fact?
@@schubertuk Welcome to the modern age of the internet where even children can just go to Wikipedia. Many people who comment on these videos provide trivia. Perhaps "surprised" would've been more accurate.
@@jp3813 but this channel has never done that, and just because children can doesn't equal that most do... Until needing to write an essay for school...
@@schubertuk The OP is referring to the commenters. The ones that constantly provide trivia. Nobody here used the word "most". Here's a common domino effect: reactors make a guess about a song being a theme for a movie, viewer goes to the song's wiki page to look up whether it is and what the name of the movie is, then also finds out that it won awards. This channel's videos have no shortage of such info drops in the comments no matter how old the song is. Heck, just look at the other top-voted posts under this video and you'll even get some behind-the-song details.
Ride Like the Wind, is a big hit by him. One of my favorite.
they reacted to that Oct 19, 2021 linked here- ua-cam.com/video/TpHluJzq854/v-deo.html
My favorite!
Forgot about that one! Thank you!
Most Definitely !!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Christopher Cross co-wrote the song "Arthur's Theme" for the movie Arthur!!!
Check out one of my favorite songs of his "Never Be The Same"
I really love all of his songs and he wrote most of them!!! I love me some Christopher Cross ❤❤❤
Yacht Rock is what the genre has come to be called. My sister and our cousin met him several times in the late 70s, really good guy.
It's what Amber loves - 70s and 80s mellow rock!
"Smooth 70's"
Yeah it used to be called soft rock, but people have been calling it “yacht rock” in recent years.
I called it Easy Listening growing up because we had a radio station that only played "easy listening" songs. Lol. I heard that term Yacht Rock for the first time on Prof of Rock's channel when he discussed Escape (The Pina Colada Song). Never knew anyone called it that before then. I had heard the term soft rock, of course. :)
It's called yacht rock because of a radio station on Sirius satellite radio. That's NOT a genre, just the name of the station. The genre was called easy listening, soft rock, or contemporary.
Three things I KNEW were going to happen. 1) Rob was gonna play air piano 2) The sax was gonna bring smiles to their face and 3) the Amber sway was gonna be in full effect!
Christopher Cross is often called "Yacht Rock" -- it's a subgenre of soft rock. His voice is just so clean and pure. He sings a beautiful lead on Alan Parson's song "So Far Away."
🌊Christopher Cross "launched" Yacht Rock (pretty much) with "Sailing". After it came out and Folks liked it so much, other Soft Rock songs were kinda' lumped in together to make the Sub-genre... After awhile, nearly any Soft Rock was referred to as Yacht Rock. :}⛵
I listen to yacht rock radio on I Heart lol
Some songs instantly transport you back to your childhood. For me, this is one. I love this song, it's one of my favourites.
I was staying with my grandparents for summer vacation (I think after 6th grade), and they took me to see "Arthur" in the theater. This song reminds me of that time. (And one of the movie trailers was for "Condorman", a Disney film that I still have not seen. lol)
Same!
Yes this one definitely does
So glad you guys listened to this one... I LOVE Christopher Cross and the movie Arthur... Thank You so much❤❤❤
"Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" WON the 1981 Oscar for Best Music, Original Song!!
Writers: Burt Bacharach; Carole Bayer Sager; Christopher Cross; Peter Allen.
Yes!!! You all should do a movie reaction to "Arthur"!
@@PatrickChachulski Yes, Dudley Moore and John Gielgud were great in this movie. Both a sequel and a remake were attempted, but neither was able to recapture the magic of the original.
Same
Yes, but make sure it's the original version and not that awful remake with Russell Brand!
This song originated with a lyric Peter Allen wrote for a song he was working on with Carole Bayer Sager: "When you get caught between the moon and New York City." Allen and Bayer Sager were recording artists.
In 1981 Bayer Sager started working with another top songwriter, Burt Bacharach, who produced and composed songs for her solo album Sometimes Late at Night. When Bacharach got the gig scoring music for the movie Arthur, starring Dudley Moore, he worked on the music for the theme song with Christopher Cross, and asked Bayer Sager (now his romantic partner) to compose the lyrics. She recalled the line Allen came up with years earlier, and secured his permission to use it. For Allen, this was a very lucrative line, as it earned him a songwriting credit along with Bacharach, Bayer Sager and Cross.
How do you get "caught between the moon and New York City"? According to Peter Allen, he came up with the line when his plane got stuck in a holding pattern waiting to land at JFK airport in New York. In 2012, Songfacts heard from the flight attendant Susan Lina, who said, "Peter Allen was on my flight and when he was deplaning he said to me, 'You have inspired me to write a song, and you will know it when you hear it.' I believe this was the song, because we were in a holding pattern for JFK. I have been a flight attendant now for 34 years. This was back in the early '80s when I was only 21 or 22 years old. I did not know who he was until he was deplaning the aircraft. He was right, I did know the moment I heard the verse, when you get caught between the moon and New York City, because it was at night and we were in a holding pattern to land at JFK. I remember it so clearly."

Thank you. Love the information!
@@kmach1000 "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" WON the 1981 Oscar for Best Music, Original Song!! How's that for some information LOL
@@surlechapeau Yes, I knew that.😉
Good summary. ....I could be wrong but my understanding was that Burt contributed more to writing the music than Chris
This is from the movie Arthur. It’s an incredible 80s comedy , you guys should do a review of that movie, it’s an all time classic .
With Liza Minelli, another icon and Judy Garland's daughter!
@@nickimontie yes she is! They should do caberet too with Jennifer Grey's dad Joel.
Please do a reaction to Arthur!!!!!!
U will love it!!!!
Great movie. I lost count of how many times I watched it.
Liza Minelli is an actress and singer. Her mother Judy Garland was also an actress and singer. She’s best known as Dorothy in the original Wizard of Oz. The mother/daughter combo would be a great idea for female Friday.
All time classic for sure. 🏆
As already stated, this was the theme to Arthur. A hysterical‘80’s comedy featuring the genius of Dudley Moore. His brilliance was gone too soon. There was also a sequel: Arthur 2: On the Ricks. I would highly recommend you see both but the first one is a classic. RIP Mr. Moore and Mr. Gielgud.
I loved Gielgud!
Not only was Dudley Moore one of the funniest men on the planet,he was a fantastic musician, and not a bad actor.
Now that you've listened to the theme song you have to watch Arthur. It's a great comedy 🤣 🤣
He has the kind of music that makes you want to close your eyes and just vibe!!!!!!!
Cross’s three biggest hits that he is best known for are this one, Sailing, and Ride Like the Wind, which you should definitely do next
He also did a song called Think of Laura
They already have done them.
@@laurabailey1054 think of Laura was my favorite......and MY NAME is not even Laura
Awesomeness. Cross is pure 🔥. You'll love these CC hits: Never Be The Same, All Right, Think of Laura, Say You'll Be Mine.
Great songs.
All great suggestions
I saw this movie about 60 million times on cable in the 80s. It was on constantly. Loving the nostalgia!
Same 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
He was a super talented singer and guitarist. He was huge for like 2 years and then fell out of the public consciousness... But he never left music and still tours today.
Several months ago I attended his 40th Anniversary Tour. Omg. Christopher was amazing! Moreover, he was really charming and funny too. I teared up when he sang Arthur’s Theme. It’s my favorite. 😊
He fell in love with auto racing and found it hard to resist. I think Formula 3. He was also overwhelmed with what they were trying to make him into (the next super star). To get an idea of how well regarded his talents were back then, research his producer, Michael Omartian and his time with Cross. That type of attention is hard for some people to accept. He is just a good old Texas raised boy. I knew him from back in the college days in central Texas area. He still lives just up the road.
Never Be The Same- Christopher Cross is another easy breezy banger of a song that we’d love to see you react to!
Christopher Cross was the first artist ever to win 5 Grammy's, for Arrangement and Vocals, Record of the year, Album of the year, Song of the year and Best new Artist..
Christopher Cross has become a staple of Yacht Rock radio. He's so smooth and chill.
In 1981, "Arthur's Theme" won the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song from a movie. The writing credits are Cross, Burt Bacharach, Carol Bayer Sager and Peter Allen. The movie "Arthur" stars Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli. It is the most hilarious and lovely love story ever filmed.
Definitely a songwriting dream team!
I remember how much I loved this song when I was young! Being a native New Yorker, the line " you can get caught between the moon and New York City" sounded so magical to me. It made me always feel the moon was the limit for us NY kids and we could do anything.
his vocal tone is a music producers dream
because it naturally sits perfectly in the mid-range pocket and out of the way of the music.
great voice, even greater mastering
Love all his music! He’s so underrated
have you guys seen the ARTHUR movies? CLASSIC
Ride Like The Wind is one of his best.
The lead song from the 1982 movie Arthur, starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. Such a great romantic comedy, y'all should watch it. This song held the number one spot in 1982 for about three weeks, nominated for both an Emmy and a Grammy for best song in a feature film.
Takes me right back to the 80’s! Love his distinct vocals- you always know it’s Christopher Cross when he’s singing!
One of the best male vocalists of the eighties. Ride Like the Wind is fantastic but his melancholy Think of Laura always makes this grown man weep.
"Arthur's Theme" refers to the movie that this is from ("Arthur" starting Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli). The movie itself is hilarious, a candidate for Rob Squad Movie Reactions. :)
Some other songs I'd recommend are "Never be the Same" and "Ride like the Wind" with backing vocals by Michael McDonald (solo artist & the Doobie Brothers).
Great song, and the movie Arthur is also a classic. Dudley Moore was great in it. One you might like to watch one day.
You two are killing me softly with the song reactions today! Add ARTHUR to your to-watch movies list. Doesn't get much better than Liza Minelli, Dudley Moore and John Gielgud (and NYC) together.
Christopher Cross does have a lovely and unique tone to his voice. Goes perfectly with the style of music he sang. Definitely lots of childhood favorites from him!
I turned 13 in 1979, so I was a teen when this song came out, right when I was mooning over girls that would not even give me the time of day! 😆 Romance for us back then was the ultimate goal and I would spend hours imagining slow dancing with girls I liked. Never happened, and yet it is still a fond memory. 🙂
Same with me here, just two years older and dreaming of guys instead of girls. Listening to Christopher Cross always takes me back. Greetings from Berlin, Germany 🤗
Yeah mate, I turned 14 and started to catch some of the girls I was chasing. How cool is music for memories. Hi from Wollongong NSW in Australia 🇭🇲
Never be the Same is a must listen by Chris Cross!
Best way I can describe his music is Tranquil. So beautiful and calming.
Underrated legend. If you don't love his music, I don't know what that matter is with you. Beautiful voice for any era.
"Ride Like The Wind" is a great one! "Never Be The Same" and "Think Of Laura" It became a hit when they played it on General Hospital when they "thought" Laura's character died. But he really wrote it about a friend of his girlfriend at the time who was killed by a stray bullet during gunfire. The song is really a sweet and uplifting song to celebrate the life of this young woman.
Wow, I never knew this! I definitely remember it from General Hospital. This song always makes me tear up.
I've read that Cross hated the General Hospital connection. The song is so much deeper and more meaningful than that.
Yes, Christopher Cross - Authurs Theme. This was in the Movie Starring Dudley Moore, I have the Sheet Music for this tune, "Ride like the Wind & Sailing." Christopher wrote some fine tunes and this is a Smooth Classic, 50 years from now it'll still sound Fresh as Yesterday. Christopher is a Fine Vocalist, he hits the notes right on and his Projection is incredible, Definitely not a Throat Singer. Great Songwriter & Performer. Thank You.
Gonna join in and say you should totally watch Arthur (1981), you'll love it. It won a couple Oscars.
And if you're looking for more Christopher Cross songs, let me suggest "Loving Strangers."
For female Friday I would suggest Strawberry Wine by Deana Carter.
Every time I hear one of his hits, I'm immediately nostalgic. I get transported back in time to the 1970s & very early 1980s when I was a kid hearing songs like this on the radio. I love how music does that like nothing else can. Man, those were the good old days 😭
"Ride Like the Wind' is his best work. imo ☮❤ 🎶
Christopher Cross was the first artist to win all four top Grammy Awards in one year. Song of the Year, ( Sailing, )Album of the Year, Record of the Year, ( Sailing, ) and Best New Artist. Arthur's Theme won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981.
Great song. Christopher Cross's music 🎶 just iconic. It defined my childhood in the early-mid 1980's. I still have difficulty listening to _'Think of Laura'_ without crying, lol. The personal meaning Chris shared about that song is truly heartbreaking.
Think of Laura brings me to tears every time. It's a beautiful song with such a heartbreaking story behind it.
Right? "Think of Laura" always gets me teary!
It's a beautiful song. There are two songs that I truly love, think of laura and also Aubrey by bread
I love this tune . Good choice. If you are thinking about listening to the legendary guitarist Jeff Beck, who just passed away, check out "People get ready" Rod Stewart on vocals with Jeff's beautiful guitar work
I have always loved the full sound of the arrangements of his songs. His music needs nothing. It’s perfection ❤️ Great reaction!
I'm so glad that you both had decided to do a reaction to this absolutely amazing song! I just love this song and the film "Arthur" which I have seen many times growing up. I think that you both would love this film when you get the chance to react to it. Thanks so much for the upload! Have a blessed weekend! 🙏♥️
“If you get caught between the moon and New York City”is one of my favorite lines in a song! The character in the movie chooses …..no spoiler alerts here… try watching “Arthur” it’s so worth it…Liza Manilli is co starring!
Please listen to "Waiting for a Star to Fall" from BOY MEETS GIRL.
I love that song ❤
Christopher Cross was the king of easy listening music in the 80's. Alot of times this was my homework music.
Not sure if you've done "Ride Like The Wind" by him but you should. It's a bit faster than the others!
They actually did it a year ago - I just checked.
One of my favorite singers since the 70`s...Everything Chris sings sounds beautiful...Thank you both for reacting to this great man...This song is classic....All of his songs are awesome...I hope you do more of his songs in the future.
I saw him opening up for America several years ago in Las Vegas. He signed autographs after his set and was one of the nicest artists I ever met. He survived a vicious bout of Covid right when the pandemic started and temporarily lost the use of his legs. He has thankfully recovered.
You should watch the movie Arthur (1981) starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli on your movie reaction channel ( this song is on the soundtrack of the movie)
Can you do Jeff Beck & Rod Stewart’s song People Get Ready Please! In memory of Jeff Beck. RIP 😔
Edited to add: Just saw you did this one on your Patreon. Loved it. Thanks!!❤
Oh.. My favourite Christopher Cross song... I do hope you react to more of his songs like All Right, Think Of Laura, Never Be The Same and many more...❤️❤️
they reacted to Think Of Laura. edit- I stand corrected, they have not reacted to Think Of Laura.
@@surlechapeau Amber said they only reacted to two songs of him before "Arthur's Theme",, and as far as i remembered, that was Sailing and Ride Like the Wind.. so i don't think they already reacted to Think of Laura..
@@jaysonnovelero2933 you are correct, they have yet to do Think Of Laura. At :15 Jay said they've only reacted to him once which was incorrect.
I'll add my voice to those suggesting you react to the 1981 movie, "Arthur," and I'll add that this Christopher Cross song won the Academy Award that year for Best Original Song. Also winning an Oscar: Sir John Gielgud, for Best Supporting Actor. He plays the butler, and he's unforgettable, stealing every scene he's in. The man who plays Arthur, Dudley Moore, was nominated, and so was the screenplay. It's a great movie. Liza Minelli is terrific in it, and she doesn't even get to sing or dance!
Great song! Great movie❤️
Amber and Jordan, Jeff Beck recently passed away and his status level is like Jimmy Page, Clapton and SRV. R.I.P Jeff Beck. Keep up with the good work 😎👍
Absolutely. Jeff was rated one of the top guitarists ever.
Downtown teain with zjeff zbeck and Rod Stewart is za good one.
So many epic performances, hard to pick. I loved him and Beth Hart "I'd Rather Go Blind" singing for Buddy Guy. Or him and Joss Stone with "I Put A Spell on You"
Oh man, I didn't hear about that! 😥My older sister is a musician, and Jeff Beck was her favorite artist. The man was a legend. It's not that he was underrated (because people knew he was an amazing talent), but he just seemed to be overshadowed in popularity by some of his contemporaries.
He was content to make music and work on his cars away from the crazy music industry
This song puts me in that place. We only had radio. No CDs. Cassettes? They played this song all the time. The movie was great. Songs like this create a space in time with magic. When you hear them again you can experience that space They literally filled that air with music that everyone heard together.
loved this song as a little kid when it was on the radio...brings back a ton of memories of when certain relatives were still alive back then.
Chris was THE MAN for the few years he was on top!!Look at the awards he won. MY mother loved him. EVEN the few hits that didn't go to the top were great.
This song, (as Arthur’s theme), takes me down memory lane, but the highlight of my day is the smile on both of your faces.. thank you both for my daily smiles!!
He doesn’t even look like he is trying to sign!!!! Incredible
Arthur's them.
It's one of my all-time favorite comedies!!!
Total Classic !!!
SRV's famous guitar belonged to Christopher Cross before SRV bought it in a guitar shop.
Whew, took you guys a while to get to three reactions of Mr. Cross. But now, I think, you have a sense of what you're gonna get when you react to him. "Think of Laura" would be good for your next one, or possibly "All Right", "Never Be the Same", or "Say You'll Be Mine". If I had to put him in a specific genre, it would be "soft rock", also known as "yacht rock". And for no reason, I will throw out another great song about NYC - "The Boy From New York City" by Manhattan Transfer.
Amber & Jordan, Just to let U kno that Christopher Cross was the biggest artist in 1980 n won many grammy awards that year. He has many hits that U guys have to react. Songs like Lonely People; Alright; Never Be The Same; Loving Strangers from the movie Nothing In Common; Say You'll Be Mine. Then he left the business. Now he's been back doing live performances n the shows R good. Check it out n don't forget to react to Chistopher Cross Music.
We performed this in choir in junior high. Beautiful piece. I also love the movie, Arthur, that it’s from. 👏🏻
Christopher Cross would probably fall under the genre "Adult Contemporary". Chris is actually a remarkable guitar player as you can discover if you isolate or listen close to the guitar in his hit "Ride Like the Wind"
Beato was stunned.
I just love this song from Christopher cross! ❤
I've died ten thousand times, at least. Every time that sax solo comes in, it just kills me.
"Ride Like The Wind," is definitely one of Christopher Cross' best songs. It has a little bit of everything, including Michael McDonald with some backing vocals.
Adult contemporary... but most people call it "Yacht Rock". "Ride Like the Wind" has to be your next one from him. Just saw him 2 months ago in concert, he still tours and sounds terrific.
Love this song so much. It's such a relaxing vibe. 😊🌛
I remember Christopher Cross. We used to call him the linebacker with the vioce of an angel. Great stuff!😇
Christopher Cross! Fantastic!!! .. a very unique voice 👌 .... guys you would love RIDE LIKE THE WIND,
ALL RIGHT
His Voice is SO Clear, and Some Kind of Sax, Huh? Could see Amber's expression immediately change! :) Beautiful! You Guys just have SO Much music to cover, but More Christopher Cross appreciated! His "Sailing' Album was such a HIT, and Widely Praised! Always wished he had produced a LOT more Music than he did. But what he Did was Amazing! :) Great Review Guys!
Amazing classic single by Christopher Cross. This song is the soundtrack from the 1981 classic film Arthur starring by Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli.
This was the Theme song from the movie Arthur with Dudly Moore and Liza Minelli. It won an Oscar for Best Original Theme Song I believe. You would also do his songs Never Be The Same and Ride Like The Wind.
Great song. Christopher has a majorly high voice. You can't teach that, he was born with those pipes.
You guys made me So happy! Been waiting FOREVER for this one. Thank you guys :). It's just a magical song
Another quintessential 80's tune... It just takes me back every time I hear it. The 80's truly were a magical time to live through. We didn't realize it then. But you never know what you have until it's gone.
Christopher Cross is an amazing singer/musician. The genre which best defines his sound is pop.
My favorite Christopher Cross song!!!
This was his signature song and a huge hit in the early 80s
This was huge, but "Sailing" is his "signature" song... Both absolutely great.
Love this song from my childhood. I loved the Arthur movies and my mother used to play this song on the piano at home 🎶🎵
"Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind" with Michael McDonald is one of my favorites!!
Christopher Cross was the Man! Omg. Certified!!! Soothing.This is definitely in the personal Top 10.
He sounds just as great live - he is the King of Yacht Rock! 👍👍👍
Love this song (and the movie). Movie stars Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli (who would also be a great music reaction) It's hilarious. Another Criss Cross? "Ride Like the Wind".
This type of music is either known as yacht rock or easy listening. "Ride like the Wind" is the Christopher Cross song to listen to. Christopher has real rock guitar chops even once substituting for Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple when Blackmore fell ill at a concert in 1970 when Cross was still a teen. It took him nearly 10 years after the DP concert to actually break it when his debut album won a Grammy in 1979 and then this song won the Oscar in 1981 so I'd say he did alright.
Again "Ride Like The Wind" is a must.
Fun fact:
Steve lukather and jeff porcaro from toto are also in the credits of arthur's theme
Arthur was a funny movie.
You should do RICKY NELSON.....Traveling Man.
And Garden Party. ❤
@@wendydouglas425 I agree on Garden Party except I would rather them familiarize themselves with Ricky before doing Garden Party......There is such a great story behind that song.
@@spiderdog7599 You make a very good point there. Garden Party was always a favorite, but I already knew the story at that point. Good idea to start with the early stuff
More Christopher Cross - "No Time for Talk," "Nature of the Game," "Say You'll be Mine," "Never be the Same," and "Poor Shirly" are all good.
This is such a classic song, and on the soundtrack of an even more classic film. You two should so react to the movie "Arthur" (1981), starring Dudley Moore, and Liza Minnelli, and Barney Martin (from Seinfeld). This is such a wonderful, and unconventional love story that is endearing and stays with you for good once you've seen it.
Liza Minnelli is the daughter of movie and stage legend, Judy Garland (aka "Dorothy" from the Wizard of Oz, 1939).
The late actor, Dudley Moore, was not only an actor, but a consummate concert pianist. It was so sad when he came down with an extremely rare neurological disease that impaired his ability to play the piano. In an interview I saw with him years ago (not sure, but I think it was Barbara Walters who interviewed him), he welled up with tears when he talked about how he could no longer play the piano anymore. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. I felt so sorry for him. He was such a nice, fun loving man, and it was sad to see him like that. :(
Great reaction to a wonderful artist, Christopher exploded on the music scene in the late 70s won a boat load of awards with his debut album, and has been recording ever since. If you can take a deep dive into his non radio hits, you would be amazed how really good this singer/songwriter is. A few that come to mind is Back of my mind, November, Nothing will change, Experiment. And for an added bonus. Check out the Austin based jazz band Freedonia. That has been his recent project. You guys are great.
You should react to "Forever and Ever Amen" by Randy Travis. A great love song.
"Ride Like The Wind" my favorite with Michael McDonald on backing vocals.
Ohhhh wow..the nostalgia! Christopher Cross has the most soothing voice🫠Arthur is one of my favourite films, starring our very own British legend Dudley Moore♥️♥️Iconic 80’s♥️♥️
