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

Yes , RLTW is fantastic too

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.

I remember asking my mom how do you get caught between the moon and New York City? LOL 😂

Christopher Cross (1984) and Billie Eilish (2020) are the only two artists to win all four major awards at the Grammys. Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year.

Arthur’s Theme from the original movie Arthur is really good. He’s also a very nice person.

Yep I remember this voyage back in the day

You need to do Christopher CROSSES song NEVER BE THE SAME and RIDE LIKE THE WIND

Aww, you two will love "Ride Like the Wind" promise!! He hit us where we needed it!! Pure, raw, clean and fresh. Just like you two!! One of my other YT's met Brother Christopher Cross last year!! Yes, more please. 👍🏽❤

Ahh Christopher Cross. He was huge back in the day. He has so many wonderful songs. 💙💙

My daughters six, sometimes I put this song on and we close our eyes and pretend we’re sailing. After the songs over she tells me what she pictured. It’s magic.

One of best! 1980 song of the year , record of the year, album of the year!

Reminds me of simpler times, as a young kid. Thanks mom.

This song has been a fav of mine since the day I heard it . It is so peaceful and has this some sort of calming effect on you. He is a great artist.

Great talent. Ride like the Wind. Is a banger with Michael McDonald doing back up vocals. ✌️😎

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

Oh yes, Think Of Laura. Excellent song ❤️

Sooo much good music, I pray this will never go away. Today's music just doesn't do it

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. 💙☮💙

Those were the days of such beautiful music.

That guitar intro sets such an amazing vibe for this song, and then his voice kicks in and you just immediately mellow out...

I love Christopher Cross! Ride Like The Wind is my favorite.

A great song. Another gem of a song with a sailing theme is “Cool Change” by the Little River Band. I guarantee you will love it.

OMG! Such a beautiful song. It definitely paints a picture.

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...

Check out Ride like the wind.Background vocals by Michael McDonald

One of my all time favorite songs. Also love "Never Be The Same" :)

Christopher Cross had a voice that was both smooth and powerful, he's not whispering... he's belting it out.

He’s always s had a beautiful voice ❤ I was a kid when this came out.

This song is so relaxing 😎. You can feel like you are on a boat on a beautiful day relaxing with the wind in your hair 🥰

This song is on my short list of songs I listen to when I've had a crappy day. Another song on my list is "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. 💜

Same. I also have James Taylor’s ‘up on the roof’ and ‘sweet baby James’ on my list.

This song was my go to song. It helped me during some difficult times. I was a young man back then. Tough times and even tougher choices. Thank very much for playing this work of art.

It really transports you and paints a picture in your mind, doesn't it? No wonder he won five Grammys.

This is on my pool playlist(Yacht Rock) for the summer.I float around on my float with my drink and pretend I`m sailing :) Keep On Rockin'

Christopher Cross has an amazing voice - pure talent. Thoroughly enjoy him.

Wow just wow

I was 19 when his first album came out (1979). What a fabulous voice he has, unique! The band were brilliant too!! xx

1 of the greatest songs ever recorded n 1 of my top all time favorites! Its absolutely perfect!

All Time Favorite!!!

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!

Hi guys o love Christopher cross beautiful voice

The memories you kids keep bringing up. As my door is closing it's nice to hear songs I remember growing up when things were simple. God Bless you dear people.

GREAT SONG.Remember hearing this as a kid,never forgotten it since.When you listen to it puts you in a peaceful state,I think we need peace of mind these days.Don't you???

I love Never Be The Same by Christopher. It's one of my favorite songs. Arthur's theme is another good song by him

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. :)

When músic was real músic the great voice of MR Cristopher cross

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.

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😊

Great song. A classic. Ride like the Wind is also extraordinary. Both very very popular for CC in the early 80 s. Great memories driving down to Key West then in my car. Wiindows open, radio blaring.🙂👍

Ride like the wind is killer ! You will love it

Absolutely beautiful. "Ride Like the Wind" is another fantastic song

He was awesome. Makes me miss my childhood.

This song is haunting to me- A summer song. Takes me right back there

love this song! so laid back can easily fall asleep to this, in a positive way of course!! great reaction guys keep up the great reactions ; )

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.

Iconic song....brilliant artist.

I'm amazed and excited to see another one of the hidden gems recognized and crossing cultures! Thank you both for really listening, not just hearing, what I hear! I can't be tied down to a genre in music either!

When he first came onto the scene back in [79-80]. His debut album went triple platinum and won the Grammy Awards for best album and best new artist in 1980. He also won the Academy Award for best song for his hit "Arthur Theme" in [1981]. The song was written by multi gold winning record writer & producer Burt Bacharach and Carol Bayer Sayer.

Sweet and peaceful perfectly described this song.

Christopher's songs are mesmerizing and soothing and just takes me away to magical places. Love your reactions Shawn and Mel. Keep 'em coming. 🙂

This my favorite song

One of the best songs of all time. A classic.

Love Christopher Cross ❤️♥️

first words out her mouth... " Paradise " !..... some people just present way more then most

my favorite song by Christopher cross

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.

80`に生きて、最強な音楽ライフですよ。

I agree, love this song… thank you for playing it..

He was a musical genius, he was tapped to play guitar for Steely Dan too and they only messed with the absolute best musicians

Christopher Cross great song he is a very good singer too have not herd him in long time.

He won a Grammy for this and was widely acclaimed and praised. If this doesn't move you, you have no soul.

Just a wonderful melodic song. The whole album is amazing.

Love these guys. When the music clicks, their faces light up and they realize and are ready for a journey.

Yacht Rock is amazingly relaxing and Christopher Cross creates different eclectic sounds and allows your mind to rest and focus. I'm a Cardiac Surgeon and have this song in my playlist when operating. Excellent presentation.

He's got such a great voice, love his music 🎵🎶

Beutifull soulful the music is smooth gos to your soul 😊

I love Christopher Cross. This is my favorite Christopher Cross song. He has a lot of other songs too.

This is my favorite Christopher Cross number. ⛵💚

Love this song...so soothing after a crappy night at work🤣 thank y'all 🤗

Loved him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s awesome, and to keep with the sailing theme you should listen to Enyah “Orinoco Flow” Beautiful 🌈🌌

A man of many talents.

One of the most soothing songs of the 70s.

OMG I love this song! Don’t you wish kids these days would make GOOD uplifting music like this again?

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.

My favorite song in the whole world!!!!! Glad you found it :)

I was 21 in the summer of 1980 and this song made life so enjoyable.

One of those songs that sends your spirit soaring

Christopher Cross put the mellow in great music.

Check out Christopher performing "Ride like the Wind" with Michael McDonald doing back-up vocals. Poor Chris had Covid, but he has recovered and is performing again. Love Chris's music; he is a gem. xx

Wow😢this,one got to me…brings back those memories of teenage years…listening to the radio at night…times just flies

Awesome song, in the 1980s. Good old days. I miss those days.

Always transports me back to my teenage summer nights.

Classic 70's soft rock period

As mentioned in many of the comments, his song RIDE LIKE THE WIND is a must. You'll love it. ❤

one of my fave for ever

This guy was a hitmaker…And that was live.

It's like a prayer isn't it?

Such a fantastic song.

Christopher Cross - Think of Laura. Makes me cry.

I'm born and raised in Hawaii. When this song came out... oh man it fit my life, heart and soul. I need to go back and visit the islands again. Wish I knew how to sail❗️ ✌🏽🤙🏽
