When I was a kid, I got teased a lot because I listened to this music from the 70's and 80's. I am a black kid listening to Christopher Cross. Music to me was never about black or white. Good music is good music no matter what color of the skin is. I am glad that this brother sees what I see.

He posted it to Facebook, too. A friend of mine who is a pro guitarist (hired gun player) got to play a split bill show with Christopher, and says he's the nicest guy, too. Doesn't get much better than that, no big head about the guy at all. Christopher is a MUCH better guitarist himself than he gets credit for. The entire "Christopher Cross" debut album is a gem and well worth picking up. Stellar musicianship all around, a KILLER list of players and guests on it, and it sounds amazing, too, very well engineered.

The guitar outro is one of the finest guitar solos you're likely to hear. The producer/sound mixer of the album cocked it up bad and all but drowned it out so very few people even realize how dynamic it is. Very glad you picked up on it Jamel. But if you really listen to it, it's incredible. Rick Beato reviewed it and isolated the track so you could really hear it.

Just saw Christopher Cross tonight. Outstanding show. He explained Michael McDonald being on this song. When Cross was recording this album, the Doobie Brothers were recording in a nearby studio. McDonald wanted to this new artist Christopher Cross, so he popped into the studio where he was recording. The rest is history. In addition to "Ride alike the Wind", McDonald also sings background vocals on "I Really Don't Know Anymore" from the Cross debut album. Don Henley also sang backup on one song, as well as Nicolette Larson on "Say You'll Be Mine". And, Toto was the band on the "Ride Like The Wind"...pretty amazing stuff. Cross talked about his battle with COVID and complications, but he played for a solid 1 and 1/2 hours with no breaks, dedicating this tour to healthcare workers who saved his life as well as countless others. Great show, great artist, and a great human being.

Think of Laura, Arthur's Theme, and Sailing are my three Favorite Christopher Cross Songs. Yes, Michael McDonald is on this song too. Yes, Christopher Cross is playing the guitar solo. And if you could do a reaction to Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell," that would be amazing. That is all.

Actually, only “Sailing” reached #1 on the singles chart from the debut. “Ride Like The Wind” peaked at #2, “Say You’ll Be Mine” reached #20, and “Never Be The Same” made it to #15 (although it did top the AC chart). The only other chart topping single on Billboard’s Hot 100 from Cross was “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)”. Good stuff!
