    Christopher Cross has a beautiful voice. As you'll find out here. His "Ride like the wind" is exceptional.

    After a stressful day at work and drive home listening to this gem you are relaxed, ready for a good meal and bath and slide gently into a deep sleep. That's the magic of this simple tune imo. ❤

    I remember when Christopher Cross's first album came out in 1979 & we all bought a copy. The whole album was good with one hit after another including "Ride Like The Wind", Sailing", "Never Be the Same", "Say You'll Be Mine" etc. He won 4 Grammy Awards for it. He released a 2nd album in 1983 with a few hits on it such as "Think Of Laura" & "All Right". But sadly after that his fame declined. Success came quickly, all at once & then suddenly faded. Too bad as he was very talented.

    Christopher Cross - Phenomenal music and great person- he reached out to Jamel while getting over Covid, last year I think- He’s already been to their concert and met Christopher and the band- point being, he’s a fantastic, humble person- 🙂💖💙👍 And Michael McDonald has sung back up for Christopher-among MANY other greats!

    Have always liked this song. It has such a peaceful feeling. I remember when it came out. In a "water town" such as Baltimore, and Annapolis, "Sailing" is perfect.
    Goes well with the "quiet storm genra" the r&b radio stations promoted years ago...

    This song has always been special for those of us who feel drawn to the sea. Another beautiful song that makes people long for the ocean is "Cool Change" by The Little River Band". Definitely worth reacting to.

  • @coyotej4895
    @coyotej4895 2 роки тому +2

    I sh*t you not, the first time I ever herd this song was the spring after I got a sailboat for charismas. It was nothing to special. Called a Snark, it was just a Styrofoam hull in a yellow plastic sheath, single mast lateen style rig, but it was a perfect first boat for a kid and so fun. I got to take it out for the first time when my dad was meeting the crew of his fishing boat to start getting ready for summer Salmon season in Alaska. I was out having a blast listening to music and this song came on and after I got the lyrics, I was in love with it. How appropriate. :)

    "Think of Laura", is one that comes to mind.Christopher has quite a few good ones."Ride Like the wind" is more upbeat.

    Just one of my all time favorite songs of any pop genre. Ever. Listen to Christopher doing "Ride Like The Wind" next please. If you've ever been on a boat, with that canvas full and flapping in the wind, the salt air, and the smooth glide of the keel through the water you'd understand this song better.

  • @thomastimlin1724
    @thomastimlin1724 2 роки тому +1

    This song takes me back at a time in my life of disappointment and indecision, in 1980, gave me calm and peace. Cross won 5 Grammies for this.

  • @kdm71291
    @kdm71291 2 роки тому +1

    This song has very specific memories and emotions for me…..of when my high school gf and I would drive around in my car, on a date or just being together…often after a band activity…usually at nighttime….and then park somewhere….talking, etc. This one of the songs that would play on the radio and be the soundtrack to our growing relationship, though we ultimately broke up.
    Over 40 years later, after running into each other a few times the first few years and then living very separate lives…we are now married…and the loves of each other’s lives.
    This and many other songs still bring back those feelings, to this day!

    When I was a kid I was at the store and I was looking for the 45 record of Come Sail Away by Styx, though I didn’t know who sang it at the time I just knew the song and all I could find was this song and I thought maybe it was it, any way, let’s just say I wasn’t upset about it! Ever since then I loved Christopher Cross😊

  • @glennburch1081
    @glennburch1081 2 роки тому

    His debut album took 5 Grammys in 1979. Sailing was a #1 top Billboard hit followed by another #1 in 1981 "Authurs Theme" which starred in the movie "Authur" with Dudley Moore...... a must see. "Ride Like the WInd" was also on his debut album with backing vocals by Michael McDonald. That song reached #2 on the Top Billboard in 1980. His music has a way of transporting you to a very peaceful place and you find yourself wishing it never ends. Christopher contracted COVID-19 in 2020 that nearly took his life, but he finally triumphed over that horrible virus that took so many lives. Great reaction, TY.

    I was at UT Austin just after Cross departed. He and his music were famous at the Longhorn campus. This song, I was told, was about sailing on nearby Lake Travis where I swam and camped with friends all through those college years, 1980-1985. This song takes me back there with its wonderful, beautiful and soothing refrain.
