CHRISTOPHER CROSS - RIDE LIKE THE WIND | FIRST TIME HEARING *REACTION*

[@michaelkearney2186]

Yup, that’s Michael McDonald. He was ordered by federal law to sing on every pop song from 1978-80 😎

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

💗😂 love that

[@brandonseyfried1251]

...and the world is a happier place because of it.

[@goat1408]

lmao much like Ja Rule on every Hip-Hop song from 2001-2002 lol

[@michaelkearney2186]

@@goat1408 😄yeah, pretty much

[@ed.z.]

And he was the fire and spice for a generation of great music. Even the thought of adding spice to the Doobie Brothers has held the test of time.

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

Yes of course that is Michael McDonald on the backing vocals. This is one of my favorite Christopher Cross songs. 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️

Album of the year for 1980! Christopher Cross is one of the most underrated artists ever

[@reganferguson4823]

I agree but it is kinda funny that he won album of the year for 1980 but is considered underrated.

[@garyneilson3075]

This song will take you to another place in time and is magical.

Sailing is one the smoothest jams ever!🎹🎶🎵🎼🎧

This girl is a rockstar and knows real music, vibe, connection. Young, smart, beautiful. Get into the music business if you already arent. You are an asset.

[@k1hasard]

Michael McDonald has a unique voice that people pick up on after hearing him just a few times. Christopher Cross is great, and you are right about the balance, nobody overpowers the other. Even the guitar solo held back and didn't take over. I always enjoy your reactions! Stay safe and take care.

[@lizziethegangsterhippie9291]

Yes he makes such well balanced records! Thanks so much 💗 stay safe

[@jasonmiller2905]

Those eyes, that voice, Lizzie, you are so beautiful and fun to watch!

[@realcoolbreeze]

Yes Lizzie. That was Michael McDonald. Great song definitely and Chris can play his guitar. The two are friends. Sailing was as you mentioned also a great song. One of my favorites . A great one to listen to as your driving down through all the keys to Key West. What great memories.

My favorite song by Christopher Cross

[@landpirate1968]

I first heard this song as a kid while riding in the back of a pickup truck going down a dirt road. It was a special moment in my life. Now, 40 years later, I'm honored to see a new generation groove to this wonderful song. Yes, that's Michael Macdonald on background vocals. And...yes, the song still sounds as good today as it did way back then. Great work, and I could tell that you really liked this one.

[@randallshuck2976]

Can't miss with Christopher Cross singing anything. He could arrange the want ads to be entertaining. Good choice.

[@marcuswood5975]

His guitar solo is sick

[@TheAcarch2]

You know it Lizzie. YOU KNOW!!

[@guillermomanuelfernandezme983]

The very best of the Criss Cross's songs I've ever listened to along with the great voice of Michael Mc Donald at tha background.

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Gangster hippie, ha haaa, look out! 😅. Too cool to have that beauty mixed with musical acumen, to see your expressions as you acknowledge instrumentation & Michael Mac, etc. Thas Chris blowing on guitar on the end vamp too. Awesome reaction! 🎶👍🏾

[@ICTS22]

I just have this memory of my younger self after I first learned how to ride a bike. This song was burned into my mind as I rode.

Cross was a very popular songwriter for a lot of artists including Michael Mcdonald. Michael talked Chris into singing his own songs and wow

I remember hearing this song for the first time in 1988 about 9 years after it's release. Great song for a request and I still like listening to it today.

One of my favorite cruising songs. Freeway driving it kind of gets that accelerator going. Yeah that was when Michael McDonald was backing every artist from studio to studio. Great song...

[@charlesburris6314]

Yes. Michael McDonald was on background vocals. He was everywhere then, including Kenny Loggins song "This Is It" and his duet with Patty LaBelle "On My Own". Have a great day!

[@MoonChild-1994]

On my road trip cruising playlist! Kenny Loggins - Heart to Heart is a smooth groove, I recommend to the reaction queue. It has Michael Mcdonald backup vocals like this one and was co-written by him and the one and only David Foster, songwriter and piano music arrangement.

[@zappafan1176]

Foster has worked with so many incredible singers it's just wonderful.

[@goat1408]

Those MM back-up vocals are surprising just like when you hear Lou Rawls backing up Sam Cooke on a song.... or MJ on Rockwell's hook.

[@parkermudsen1063]

This song got all the chicks on the dance floor in the discos back in the early 1980s.
