This episode tells about how Christopher Cross turned the pain and turmoil he faced at home into the number one hit song “Sailing.” It also covers his near death experience just a couple years back after his bout with Covid turned into Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

the canvass, for me, was the sails of the boat. The peace and quiet out on the water. It really does miracles.

He's my friend from the 70's & he's one of the most humble ppl. That's not his born name. But it's cool. He's from Austin & Waco areas & he's so gifted. I met him @ Village Inn in Market Square downtown

Nicely done. Tommy Taylor just did an interview saying that mid-recording the record company decided he was going to become “Christopher Cross”

SiriusXM put a temp channel on their main rotation called Yacht Rock. Christopher Cross was there a lot. The channel did a live concert with him. Mileage varies a lot with live, and his was amazing! I need to download the app to my phone because I enjoyed Yacht Rock a lot!

I did not know that... or who he was until recently but I did know his songs. I remember hearing Sailing as a kid, always on the AM radio and Ride Like The Wind I still hear on the radio quite frequently. Good for him, he probably has enough money from his hits to last a few lifetimes.

Fabulous songs all in one Christmas gift, as he mentioned. I miss his sweet voice. Wish I could write a song for him? 💓

Great story! Thank you

Saw an interview with Howard Stern where he said this friendship with almost a dad figure - he saw what he missed out on with his own dad and what that relationship could/should have been like. He also explained he had previously given an erroneous explanation for the song - to hide the real pain expressed in the song.
