Christopher Cross -Sailling REACTION 

One of the most peaceful, beautiful songs I've ever heard. Brings memories of living on the beach in my youth.

You need to listen to more Christopher Cross songs. Arthur's Theme, Ride Like The Wind, Think Of Laura, All Right, Never Be The Same, and several more. He had a lot of popular songs, in the early to mid-1980's especially.

My dad bought a sailboat in 1981 when I was 9 years old, the year after this song came out. Now, whenever I'm super stressed out, I close my eyes, imagine sitting in the sun with my legs over the side of the boat, being sprayed by the sea rushing past, and think of this song. It never fails to bring me peace.

This music is for when you have a bad day,come home turn the lights down low and let the music take you far away!!

this song was huge back in the day....you could not escape it. classic..Grammys for best song,.....best album....best new artist.....

Christopher Cross has such calming voice...I have always loved this song.

Sailing is my all-time favorite song by Christopher Cross, but he already had me at hello with all his music. I've been a fan since I was 11 yrs old i'am now 48

I always loved this song. I think this song is the best artistically composed piece of music in modern times. Very soothing song that moves like the sparkling ocean on a sunny summer's day. I was lucky enough to shake this guy's hand and personally thank him for his beautifully crafted music. Yes, I met him after the show at the Savoy in Glace Bay NS. Canada.

Enchantingly Beautiful.The first time I heard "Sailing,"it seemed unbelievable. I was lost in all that goodness.

One of the best songs for relaxing ever. I was 12 when this came out and it reminds me of driving through the Canadian Rockies with my parents and siblings. I always tear up because it was one of the last vacations my parents took us on before the divorce. Unforgettable for me.

He went from playing clubs, to selling out arenas almost overnight. Texas made him an honorary Admiral in the Texas navy.

He's one of those guys that you hear the song. And when you see him? You're like, how does that voice come out of his head? Excellent vocalist!

One of the most underated singers. There is magic in his music, I love him

Gotta be one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard. It floats you away. He had a couple more awesome hits back then.

You need to hear ride like the wind. It's his best song

Christopher Cross has such an amazing voice. So calming, so peaceful. :)

I'm a 53 yr old black woman whose been in love with Christopher Cross since the 80's I hope you heard "Think of Laura" A song he wrote for his wife's best friend. She was walking home one night and was killed. He wrote the song to encourage his wife because she was so hurt about the loss of her friend. I know you would love it.

Such a beautiful song...

Someone I loved used to play this for me on his guitar. I still cry when I hear it.

I want to be laying on a sunny beach or lake, drink in hand, listening to this after all this covid crises is over. 🌼❤🌼❤

CC is a bad dude. He was a studio musician that broke out on his own. Incredible musician.

Love this song, so mellow and easy going...like a Sunday afternoon.

The epitome of “yacht rock”.

I’m a music lover from a long time ago so to see her reaction to childhood favorites with new joy it’s special ☝️💛💛👍🥰

This song has always stirred my soul. The ocean calls to me and I always feel free, without worry or care, out on the water “sailing.” Thank you for playing it.

Just oozes class, sophistication, relaxing and simply a CLASSIC Song !!! 👍😀

one can really imagine sailing when you hear this song. he really congers up an image in your mind. the sun, the waves, the wind.

Yes India ! This song does have a “vibe”. That’s one of the reasons it’s been one of my all time favorite pop songs of all time - since it came out in 1980/81!! When I hear this on the radio, I tune in and always feel like I’m hearing it fir the first time, and familiar at the same time

Such a beautiful and chilled song. I play this song when I need calm.

ALL TIME FAVORITE ..One of the Greatest Songs of All Time ... It just Builds & Builds ... And Gets Better & Better!!! ..

There is no one that even sounds close to his music. One of a kind!

Check out Arthur’s Theme from one of the funniest movies ever....the original “Arthur” with Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. Yacht Rock......music we rockers pretended we didn’t like back in the day but still know all the lyrics 30 plus years later.

One of the best. Remember this playing at a Jr High dance. "Arthurs theme" was also big at the time. :)

Such a magical song. Once it's in your head, it never leaves!

“Ride like the wind“ and “think of Laura“ are fantastic, just to name a couple more- Also, Lionel Ritchie has a beautiful song called “Sail On”, that’s great, think you’ll love it and get it for sure! Please react to it as well! ❤️🤘🏼✌️

one of my favorite songs of all time",ride like the wind" should be next,thanks for the reaction

Thank you for reacting to this one. My dad's favorite song from Christopher cross. Lost him ten years ago. I need to stop cutting these onions 😢

Christopher Cross was really pre-video/MTV, his music was made for the radio, and it shows! Always loved listening to all his hits in the early '80s!

This song to me really is an honest. This dude I am sure has a sailboat and loves sharing with friends. Being on the water is magical. One of the greatest yacht rock songs ever

I have always thought that was one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, even after all of these years, it sounds so sweet! CC is so talented, ya gotta listen to some of his other stuff, all great!

When this song came out on the radio we had no image of the artist, just that smooth mellow voice coming from our speakers, kind of like the tv show; "The Voice" today. You hear the voice and you begin to wonder where this voice is coming from. Your imagination runs wild; dark hair dark eyes, blond hair blue eyes, tall, short, light skin dark skin, and then we were introduced to the kid that was singing. Scraggly goatee, scraggly un combed hair, overweight, pimples, a real "HOLY SHIT" moment! I had developed a person in my mind based on the voice I heard that bore no resemblance to the actual singer! It was a shock but didn't change our mind about his music. That is what I remember most about Cris Cross.

This song meant everything to this USN retired sailor ❤️

Hey India... Christopher Cross is a part of Texas History.. those who know his music and singing have high respect for him. Even today, we are proud of him and his achievements. Thank you for taking the time to appreciate his music, and share with us! Regards and Hugs, from Mike in Texas!

Another song that has kind of the same theme is Southern Cross by Crosby Stills & Nash. But, they are best known for Teach the Children. One of my favorites from them is Just A Song Before I Go.

Christopher Cross is the patron saint of Yacht Rock, based mostly upon this song.

Loved this I would love you to watch 'Til Tuesday - Voices Carry

His sound is so soothing. I've always liked his music going all the way to teenage years.

The production on this song is superb. The sort of song you would use to check if someone's stereo was working properly. The start with the strings, then the guitar coming in. At that point you felt you were inside the music. Then he starts singing and his voice is so clean. Loved this song since it came out. Great self titled debut album too.

Christopher Cross not only told amazing stories in his music writing, but the haunting melodies and acoustics, harmonies. Amazing!

Beautiful song ❤️ Christopher Cross is an amazing singer!! Love all his music.

Ayyyy looks like you're about to set sail on the smooth seas of the tropical passage that is Yacht rock! Have a groovy time!

Bit of trivia: Stevie Ray Vaughan's "first wife," also known as his "Number One" guitar, was a Fender Stratocaster, that became famous for it's "beat to hell" appearance after many years of lovingly playing it hard and touring, was previously owned by none other than Christopher Cross.

Sailing represents something else not sailing but I don’t know what. Christopher received 3 Grammys that year for this one song.

My last breath as a human being would be to hear this composition. What a wonderful song to leave this world.

Christopher Cross is a fighter. He debut album won 3 Grammys. The next year he one a Oscar for Arthur's Theme. 3 years later his album would sadly put his final hits out. But with MTV came his demise. Not the image MTV was looking for. He feel off the the music map Then he survived COVID

Sailing 🙌🏼 Cant think of the 80s without that voice.👌🏼

When I hear Sailing I picture me in a sailboat just gliding along with the wind filling the sails. Definitely check out his, "Ride Like the Wind". Just like see horses running by free.

The Cross man is the best. You need to listen to any Christopher Cross song. They are all Great ☝️❤️

One of my all time favorite songs. So serene. Gives me chills.

I want to be the guy in the band that plays the wind chimes.

Thanks for fulfilling my request, sweetie! 😊

He's my favorite…. Always has been, always will be... xxx

My moms favorite singer. Back in the day I’d roll my eyes...now I’m nostalgic. Such a magical song.

Beautiful, relaxing song......one of my favorites of his!

It’s amazing how music is a way to convey emotion. Beautiful song!

This was on his debut album. "Sailing" - along with the album, is considered to be what started the "Adult Contemporary" music genre. Also, known as "yacht rock." :-)

This 73 year old karaoke singer listens to a lot of your reactions, You react to such a broad spectrum of music styles and ages that you cannot help but appeal to a lot of people. Congrats on reaching 100,000 plus subscribers so quickly. I left a couple of recent tom Jones suggestions in your reaction to his Delilah and I'll never fall in love again reaction

I saw him in the Day of Rock-n-Roll (1980) at the Superdome. Christopher Cross was the opening act for Eagles, Foreigner, and Cheap Trick. This song, Sailing, was a big hit at the time and was on the radio non-stop, but at the concert, the poor guy didn't get any respect at all. People were walking around, talking to each other and looking for their friends, but none but a small handful of people were standing in front of the stage paying him any kind of attention. The other three bands took total command of the entire stadium, but Christopher Cross was just invisible.

My wife and I had a 27 foot sloop and we sailed her out of Vancouver. Many glorious days under sail and under an endless sky. This song always tears me up.

An escape song. It really does take you away, when the music washes over you. You are truely sailing.

The musical aspect of Sailing by Christopher Cross is beautiful yet serene that paints a visual narrative that takes you on a timeless journey down memory lane thinking of the good times. I've always loved Sailing by Christopher Cross. Very good reaction choice once again India. Every word is a symphony.

I loved Chris. Saw him interview and always felt undeserving of all the awards? Seems like such a nice guy.

One of my favorites of all time! Cross won five Grammy Awards for his eponymous debut album released in 1979. The singles "Sailing" (1980), and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" (from the 1981 film Arthur) peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[1][2][3] "Sailing" earned three Grammys in 1981, while "Arthur's Theme" won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981 (with co-composers Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen). Chris is still touring. :-)

I really think you'd enjoy "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphey

this song soothes the soul …. Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills, and Nash is another fantastic "sailing" song - classic!

Christopher Cross is one of my favorites singers ever great song very classic thanks india

Beautiful song....always been one of my favorites.

This is on my playlist. On one those warm summer nights on the rooftop. Thank you my dear.

His voice is so unique! As well as being a singer/guitarist, he was the songwriter also!! Love 'Arthurs theme' too! I was 19 when his first album came out in 1979! xx

Possibly the most relaxing song of all time. Finally, saw him live last year and he was well worth the wait.

Simply sublime. Good choice India.

One of the best song EVER! Christopher Cross albums are masterpieces!

This song playing on a warm summer night at the city pool in 1981 is etched in my mind. So wonderful.

80's Power Ballads are a must in your lineup! such tearjerkers... Warrant, Skid Row, Cinderella... I know u will love them

Damn. D.J. for a new century. ON POINT!!! SHE IS IT!!! SIGN UP. I am so happy!!! Peace. Work too much. Sad. Brought me up!!! Thank You!!! Hit that bell!!! Do the right thing. 😘

christopher cross songs are chilling and relaxing smooth :) thank you India Reacts for this calming soothing song by christopher cross :)

This song is so wonderful even after all these years. He so effortlessly sings and you go away with him.

When this song first came out, I was living in a small town south of Sacramento, CA. I used to drive up into the 49'er mountains looking for gold. Along the way there was a fair sized lake - and a guy on a sailboard out there just floating around in the gentle breeze. This song came on the radio so I pulled off the road and sat there just to listen to this pleasant tune and enjoy the serenity.

sheer beauty.....perfect peace.....art at it's purest......

Christopher's music is beautiful. That voice ! Another one"Think of Laura".

Beautiful song.His voice is one of the best of all time.I enjoyed watching you vibe to this beautiful song.Glad you liked it. Do eddie money take me home tonight #iwannagoback

Good one India Reacts! One of those songs that folks who enjoy a variety of genres could get into. I am a hard rocker, metalhead, and progger and I have always liked this one. Just as you said, it has a vibe. I think what this song is about is why there is a small genre called Yacht Rock. BTW, if you like this one, consider reacting to his Ride Like the Wind at some point. Chris Cross sings that one but with an even more famous backing vocalist! All the best!

Saw him live in 1981 at lion country safari in California. I was so close to the stage that I could actually touch him. Was there with my girlfriend LeeAnn whom I loved and still love so much... beautiful concert....

My favorite song ever, number one with a bullet.

Chris Cross - one of the pillars of wonderful melodic never surpassed 80's

Hey Sweetheart, You always revue the best songs ever made...Thank you.....

This song always hits me in the heart. My favorite song ever.
