    Wow. Blast from the past. Loved this song when it came out in the 80s.

    The first couple of notes I heard of Chris in 1992 I was completely hooked. Thanks for reminding me.

      Me too! I had to pull over my car and stop and listen because I was so mesmerized by his voice.

      Yes I heard this song on a public radio station around 1995. DJ did not mention the artist. I kept in my head for two years until I heard it again. Found out who sang it and immediately went out to buy all his stuff.

      @@joellahrman4557 Similar story for me .... 1998 ... Driving the back roads after a conference in ... BIG SKY, Montana ... heard this tune on the radio ... didn't figure out who it was until a few years later when I searched Napster for what I presumed was the title ... BINGO! Hooked ever since!

      Chris described Big Sky Country as "a big FAKE Prince song." Source: app.box.com/s/8mt93fb9dpcywbb2rymtudye8abjf41f He also covered Prince's "Erotic City" and "Forever in My Life."

    I just wanted to drop a line and thank you for this channel. I discovered Chris in 1991 when Law came out and this song was the first one I heard. He changed everything I felt about music and art from that moment on. I cherish every note he played or sang. Again, thank you so very much for what you are doing to keep his legacy intact.
