CHRISTOPHER CROSS - NEVER BE THE SAME | REACTION

[@melvinwomack3717]

That whole album is a masterpiece

[@magos_0083]

Dude got multiple Grammies for the album. Masterpiece!!

[@Ray1969.]

This debut album from Mr. Cross won him 5 Grammys which included best new artist and album of the year for 1980. It is an incredible piece of work with “Sailing”, “Never Be The Same” and my personal favorite “Ride Like The Wind.”

[@davidhattman7649]

And on top of it all he is an incredible guitar player.

[@Ray1969.]

@@davidhattman7649 absolutely. He shreds at the end of “Ride Like The Wind.”

[@davidhattman7649]

@@Ray1969. yes he does and the cast of musicians on this album is just insane.

[@davidhattman7649]

and in 1981 he won an Oscar for co-writing the Theme song from the Movie Arthur.

I love your reactions you wait until the song is done I see how much you enjoy these songs

[@kroft6799]

I always found it funny that Christopher Cross has such a delicate beautiful voice for such a big strapping man

[@joelliebler5690]

Nice mellow tune which was one of several hits for Chris!

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

That album won multiple Grammys

Timeless ...

[@peterdellos8824]

Every song on this album, I am telling you.

[@debratroeak77]

Love this! The soft drums and soft voice complement this song. Christopher Cross music always makes me feel good. Love Ride Like the Wind also very nice but more energetic.

[@moefeaux1442]

Trivia FYI: SRV's Number One Strat was previously owned by Christopher Cross who traded it in for another one at Ray Hennig's Heart of Music's Texas shop before Ray gifted it to SRV in 1973.

[@kcronin7211]

this kind of music got slapped with an "easy listening" label somewhere along the way, which kind of relegated it to AM radio hell, but I love his voice and this was one of the first albums I owned when I was like 8 or 9 and I LOVED it back then. It's still smart songwriting and sweet singing - thanks for the reminder!

[@laurakali6522]

He’s actually a well respected guitarist. But his voice and look did place him into what they call Yacht Rock these days…..a sweet man too. Very active on Instagram.

[@Ray1969.]

The easy listening label for this was always a bit silly to me. If you listen to “Ride Like The Wind” for instance, Christopher actually shreds the guitar towards the end of the song. Amazing album!!

[@Niecy70]

Just loved Christopher Cross so much. So much feeling in his music. Thanks for reacting❤

[@shwicaz]

Such a great song/album/artist. Christopher Cross is launching his 40th anniversary tour of this very album. I'll be seeing him in Lynn, MA on 9/30

[@davidnorman4923]

Great song and album! Jay Graydon guitar solo! Great production by Micheal Omartian!

[@amyk9175]

This has always been my favorite hit of his, and he has many. It sounds simple, but try to sing along and you realize how difficult of a song it is to sing. I always liked the wood block sounds at the beginning.

[@timetravellingone]

Check out Atlanta Rhythm Section "Imaginary lover" "So into you" "Spooky"

[@williamschrom1584]

light and easy

[@bangmon1000]

I remember this album was very popular.

[@annmills3163]

You should react to Bobbie Gentry’s song Fancy. She wrote it and first recorded it in 1969

[@carolqueen3559]

[@beatnpotatoes]

Good ol yacht rock.

[@LS-wn5cd]

Simply Red is a good similarity and speaking of Simply Red I don't believe you have reacted to their cover of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" Might also check out England Dan And John Ford Coley

[@dougthePogingguitarist]

can you do a reaction to Lost in a Dream by R.E.O Speedwagon

[@donkunes8630]

Chris is really a great guitarist , his solo work on ride like the wind near the end is unfortunately mixed on low level . (1) The Greatest Guitar Solo You Can’t HEAR! - KZbin

[@TheSchuyler75]

was this in Arthur? i know the song but also remember it being in a movie i think?

[@JG-zt5vr]

He had to have a stiff neck the next day...
