I remember I was 11 years old in 1980. Every Sunday I would listen to America’s top 40 with Casey Kasem. Christopher Cross is my absolute favorite singer. Reminds me of a simpler time a happier time when I was in elementary school and would go to the skating rink and dance and skate to all the great music of the late 70s.Thank you for sharing his beautiful music. It is now called yacht rock. That’s the genre of music this kind of music is.

Whats amazing to me, is that I was born in 1981, but these songs that decade are the ones I enjoy the most.

They should put this song on a loud speaker for the whole world to here. Everyone would be walking around smiling and waving at each other....perhaps even hugging.

This is an absolute timeless classic. I grew up, back in the 80s, listening to great music just like this. It was these type of songs that prepared a young teenager like me to love one woman for life, before ever meeting her! And guess what. I did! And we've been happily married now for 25 Years!

Hey there, 12+ year Navy Vet. here. I was in USN Boot Camp at RTC San Diego mid April-June 1980, when this song was at it's height of radio play. Our Company Commander would let us listen to the radio a hour or so each evening. This song would play, while hearing airplanes taking off every few minutes from SD International. Would make you really home sick, wishing you could be flying home on one of them. Once you realized that BC was just a temporary head game. It wasn't that bad.

I always think of Solid Gold back in the 80’s when I hear this song. The played all the hits and have solid gold dancers interpret the song through dance. Great childhood memory.

Incredible song gave me goosebumps when I first heard it....just touches the senses ohhh so fabulous 💋❤️👍😀

I've never heard anything remotely like this...ever. Christopher Cross wrote a totally unique, and VERY AFFECTIVE, piece of music. Your reaction was wonderful. I may be repeating myself, but you are beyond adorable. :)

I remember when this was all over the radio in the late '70s. It's just a masterclass in songwriting.

The years 80's....the best music of all the times!!! Unforgetable!! Greetings from URUGUAY!

Christopher cross will always be remembered as a great artist no matter what. Cross had a couple of more hits after this like “ride like the wind” “Laura” who was his girlfriend at the time but was sadly killed in a freak shooting so he dedicated that song to her, but cross will always be remembered for his “sailing”

It warms my heart to see you enjoying these beautiful song from a bygone era. It was such a wonderful time in the world of music. It literally saved a lot of folks from jumping ship. I truly believe that GOD had a hand in helping these artist create this beautiful, iconic music. Thank you for your reaction. Keep making me smile. LOL. 🤗🎵🌹🎼🎼🎸

Yeeeeeesssssss. this song is sailing personified. Its the ultimate sailing song and experience.

Watching your emotions is so wonderful. I makes my feelings cry. I know I'm getting old when songs I used to sing along with, well my emotions take over and that damn lump in my throat makes me stop and I can't stop the flow of tears start running down my face. It's a beautiful thing to watch you!!

When I was young, Christopher Cross sang some of the most romantic songs. We loved listening to him and his band.

I have the same reaction.... and I’ve been listening to it for 40 years. 😊

"Sailing" is not just a beautiful song .It is splendid.He has one of those voices that cannot be matched.This song was so well arranged it is absolutely brilliant. Without the song the music could carry you away."Think of Laura".

That track is my favorite track of his. It's a tossup between this track and "Ride Like The Wind". If I'm not mistaken, in the track "Ride Like The Wind", you can hear Michael McDonald's voice in the background during one part of the track where he sings, "such a long a way to go...". Anyways, Michael McDonald is another iconic artist who's music I personally think you would love as well, judging by the way you reacted to this track.

This is my favorite song!!! Heard it in 1990 on time life music and I fell in love INSTANTLY. Christopher Cross is one of my favorite artist. #nostalgic

Loved this song since I was a kid, my mom was a fan of Christopher Cross so I used to listen to him a lot. This song is so relaxing and peaceful. Great song to just chill to. Thanks for posting!

His first albums was one of the best things you could ever hope to hear, and won the Grammy for best album over some that are considered classics like The Wall by Pink Floyd, Glass Houses by Billy Joel, and Guilty by Barbara Streisand. Sailing won for best song. I know you've done a few more of his, and many people have probably already told you the other songs to listen to, but in case anyone missed Arthur's Theme, I'd bet that's one you'd like.

Ive always LOVED this song! Everytime i hear it, takes me on a journey.

There's "Best That You Can Do (Arthur's Theme)" as well as "Ride Like the Wind" that he did with Michael McDonald

I’m 70 and a gentleman and I would love to hold you during this song. It’s in the listening, the lyrics, the emotion. SAILING TAKES ME AWAY TO WHERE I’M GOING.

Today's "music" is 10 to 20 people jumping all around a stage to the same techno-pop beat. It's about the visual of the "jumpers" and not about the tune. THIS song is "musical" and you can feel it all through yourself. You want to close your eyes (no jumpers needed) and lose yourself in the melody, and let it wash away any stress you may have had. Today's "music" can't do that.

I find it hard to believe this women has never heard this song. Cmon, everyone over the age of 50 remembers hearing this on the radio.

makes me wish I could go back to the 70's and 80's. When I was on the carrier in 87 I used to go out on the ships extension, with my walkman and headphones. The sea air in my face with the ship doing 20 knotts and the sun going down, HEAVEN! :)

Listen to Ride Like The Wind, another good one. Love your reactions. He is still performing.

He won the Grammy for best song, the Grammy for best album, and the Grammy for best new artist that year. He was riding high.

For me the 80's were magic! I was 15 in 1980 and I went from a kid who liked rock music (IE Rolling stones, AC/DC...etc) and I started to appreciate other music! I remember this song when it came out and also headphones as we know them today at least were new. The lighter weigh ones you could plug into a walkman. :) and this song made me do very similar to what you re doing.. close my eyes and get pulled in! Magic!

Absolutely the most heart filled drop dead sexy piece of music...i crave slow dancing with my wife under the stars on the deck of a caribbean bound ship while listening to this...you can feel the wind blowing and the sultry night air dripping with sweet saturation..

Oh wow, takes me back. I love this song. Its the most relaxing and transemding music. Thank you for your reaction.

This song got a decent amount of airplay in the 70s when I grew up. I remember it playing as we enjoyed the pool in the summertime, during times that were both simpler, but also complex in their own way . . .

Always loved Christopher Cross. Amazing!

RIGHT...how awesome... luv to hear her do Chris Issak, keep up the good work girl.

It's said, MTV basically ended C.C.'s popularity, in that he wasn't an "MTV friendly" looking guy. He is, was a normal looing great musician during the era of "big hair," all that craziness.

Christopher Cross has such a lovely, almost hypnotic, voice. His voice draws you in and invites you to go on a voyage with him. Everything about this song is "Ear Candy" as far as I am concerned. Several of his tunes are on my daily play list.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. In an interview, he said that this song was a metaphor for the arts... I see it as a metaphor for prayer.... That the beauty of music like this , you can make it your own...

Avevo 16 anni quando ascoltavo questa meraviglia! Ho avuto una splendida adolescenza! I was 16 when I listened to this wonder! I had a splendid adolescence! 😘😘😘

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. It remind me of being back at Lake LBJ. My grandparents used to own a lake house down there and we used to go there every summer when I was a kid. This song is soul. I’m glad you like sailing by Christopher cross. This song is one of my favorites.

I’m going on a boat with my lovie tomorrow! In the luckiest woman in the world. Christopher cross is so smooth. He’s the soundtrack to singers at the beach with my family and now to my boat days. Enjoy that voice!

OMG Love this song believe it or not Nsync did a great cover of this

When I was in the hospital last year from August 10 to October 15, this song sent me to sleep every night. Always had amazing dreams. Songs like this and others like Waiting for a Star to Fall by Boy Meets Girl have always been the ones I think of if I ever found Atlantis or some other sort of paradise on earth. It would be playing this sort of thing just...in the air...somewhere.

This song gives me goosebumps.

Sailing takes you away even if you are going nowhere.Just listening to his voice and that beautiful arrangement carries you away was heard everywhere.The radio was always playing it. Whats not to love.That piano solo,enjoyable. You should react to "Think of Laura .Chris's voice is like fine crystal.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed.

I had taken sailing lessons the year before this song came out. He captured in this song perfectly the feeling of being out in a sailboat, the wind in your hair - the feel of the water. An absolutely gorgeous song and still one of my favourites. You got it entirely

Love this song. It gets you imagining yourself on a boat.. sailing away, ..without a care in the world. Or walking along the beach with you lover hand in hand. Boats in the ocean sailing into the sunset on sparkly shimmering water.

Commenting to your reaction. . I was a good bit younger when this song first hit the charts. Nearing 70 now but K S O as one who has been fortunate to go “Sailing” this song always evokes warm and pleasant memories standing at the helm of a sloop, wind sighing through the sails, the warm, gentle caress of the sun on my shoulders, the intoxicating scent of the salt air and the rush of water past the hull of that sailboat ⛵️. I hear this melody 🎶 and the syren song of canvas and wind rises in my heart once again taking me to a place of peace and serenity. Thank you for your reaction to a tune that is still a favorite as I near 70.

As for you young lady. Your beautiful soul is contagious.

This song is so beautiful it's.... I've lost the few people on this earth I knew, and I don't go to bars, so now I'm listening to this and its making me cry

sailing on a breezy day is wonderful, the whole world is alive, motion and light and wind, moving lightly over the water - just joy, bliss

Chris Cross traded in an old beat up Stratocaster in a little guitar shop where Stevie Ray Vaughan hung out growing up. Stevie went in one day took that old guitar down and started playing it. After a while he wanted to buy it, traded a guitar the owner had given him. The owner helped him rebuild it. No one has seen that guitar since he died,, it was priced at $200. His brother probably has it, now it's priceless. SRV named it Number one, first wife.
