Christopher Cross - Ride Like the Wind | REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@bmaniac1]

Yes, Michael McDonald back up vocals. That' also Christopher Cross playing the guitar solo. Killer!

[@onsesejoo2605]

And buried under that wall of back up vocals, horns and piano. Search for Rick Beato's analysis the solo with proper volume. Whoever produced the album should have been fired.

[@bmaniac1]

@@onsesejoo2605 Saw that when it came out. Love Rick!!

[@robertfindley921]

That's Michael McDonald singing backup (as he did for everyone back then). Love the bongos.

[@PerryCJamesUK]

I was just going to ask that question. MM has such a distinctive voice.

[@louv9431]

Oh that's Michael McDonald 1 💯 on backgrounds!! ❤

[@craigreed1638]

I was waiting for her reaction when she realized it

[@rbailey3309]

Absolutely! You can't mistake Micheal's distinct soulful sound!

[@kurtadams3021]

Christopher and the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Michael McDonald ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@quintondees4501]

Christopher Cross was like a comet, flew by then disappeared, wish he would have stayed around longer making music, he was great

[@rbailey3309]

You can't beat Christophers theme song style!!! He keys up your imagination and takes you with him on his journey, and you are always glad to join him!

[@Fruit17-ip4vl]

You can’t go wrong with Christopher Cross! He is an amazingly talented artist! Great reaction Ashley!❤😎

[@dlove7141]

I always love the lyric when he says “gotta live life, life times 10”.. indeed words to live by

[@davidhill7234]

Ive never understood how or why his popularity ended 🤔 he was so damn good!

[@paulgxi]

Great traveling song. Flying cross country on HIghway 80...NYC to Denver in 25 hours.

[@aliciamartin2024]

Also a great cruising song driving!

[@Slowbone52]

25 hrs you kicked ass.

[@markcosenza3274]

You are in the presence of greatness!Your smile is beautiful, good music makes you smile!

[@user-be7tc2bd6e]

LOVE this song ( and Christopher Cross ) and Sailing,two very soothing and calming songs which I enjoy.These 2 songs are my go to tunes when I'm stressed,down and need a good endorphin rush.

[@intellectualnapalm_fba]

Ashley, YOU ARE A RABBIT HOLE!! I found you one night when I couldn’t sleep and listened to your reactions for 5 straight hours!! Keep up the great work. Your reactions are as good as the music!

[@CheLGaZm]

I like to think of this song in spiritual terms.....the border Mexico being heaven Amazing song

[@kielhall8363]

Michael McDonald is doing the background vocals the very beautiful song Ashley

[@rddav1]

🎵... such a long way to go...🎶 Michael McDonald

[@leidell]

That guitar solo by Mr. Cross. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@quicktastic]

Love it. Also love that you ride in your car listening to Sailing. I swear that the song Sailing does something to the brain. You just feel better listening to it. Like anything is possible.

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

What a great classic song

[@marions85]

Another great song by him💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thekingcobra63]

That is Christopher jamming on the guitar at the end of the song

[@willwhitman7534]

Christopher is such an amazing Artist, both in his own released music as well as what he has done for other musicians. Also, did you pick up on the great Michael McDonald on the background? Both truly amazing. Please make sure to check out more of Christophers music! Also, that man can rip a guitar.

[@vernonmontgomery5012]

And this is just one reason why I stay listening to 80's music

[@31carrier]

1967 Eric Burdon and the Animials/When I was Young "met my 1st love at 13 she was brown and i was pretty green"

[@parkermudsen1063]

This is the song that got all the baddies out on the dance floor in the discos back in the day.

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

That was awesome! Love your reaction! You could add this song to your Yacht Rock playlist! Arthur's Theme is another great Christopher Cross song you should react to

[@davidschecter5247]

Check out some of Chris' later songs. What an incredible songwriter and performer he is. He did a wedding song called "Love Found a Home" which is one of the most beautiful songs you've ever heard. I think you would love it!

[@johnrozs]

"NEVER BE THE SAME " next 😊

[@tombaldwin1700]

Hey, Ashley…first time checking out your reaction…and I was diggin’ it! I agree, Christopher Cross is multi talented, as were many from his era…great stuff!

[@MelodyMan69]

I was hoping you would get to this track. One of his BEST 🇦🇺

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Just finished watching your Exile video... awesome!! Christopher Cross too??? These are all the songs my father played in his pickup. Great memories! Count ne as your newest subscriber. Love 60s, 70s and 80s Rock! 👍🏾

[@OlleStahlberg]

Another fav from that amazing album: Never be the same.✨

[@timtravasos2742]

Love your reaction and taste. Christopher Cross is awesome. It's a great driving song.

[@bryanstoudenmire]

Thinking of Laura is Another great song from him too

[@danevans5823]

Everybody on this track are top notch musicians

[@willwhitman7534]

This, I think, would also be considered Yacht Rock / Dad Rock lol

[@philiphill6697]

Just call it Great Rock.

[@OlleStahlberg]

Another fav from that amazing album: Never be the same.

[@IsaacDDuke]

I thought this song was so boring 80s. It definitely has grown on me. Its now the first song on my new playlist I made: Yacht Rock. Plus its Michael Omartian, my favorite arranger!

[@jasonsprecher5118]

Arthur’s Theme should be next reaction.

[@sixslinger9951]

He is a phenomenal guitarist too.

[@jefferymoman1603]

Love your reaction and I was so happy you listened to another Christopher Cross song. I had such a tough day at work and I saw this earlier. I just didn’t get a chance to listen. Honestly, you made my night so much better and appreciate you greatly! Always have been one of my favorite songs with Michael McDonald on the back up vocals. Thank you miss Ashley

[@sitiummridwan]

Put it on the DRIVING list. ❤

[@kennewton7518]

Shout to Michael McDonald on the background vocals

[@angelomaurizio1668]

Michael McDonald was responsible for helping getting Christopher Cross' career started. I think 'Arthur's Theme' is his signature song. The song was the soundtrack from the movie Arthur (1981) The song won Best Original Song at the 1982 Grammys. 'Ride Like The Wind' was on the B side of the record while 'Arthur's Theme' was on Side A.

[@audiofile8833]

Now you might want to listen to Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) by Christopher Cross. It's possible that you might even recognize it.

[@newfiemom8696]

Sailing ⛵️ is my favorite ❤️ 🎵 if you’ve ever seen the movie 🎥 Arthur, staring Dudley Moore - the Theme Song 🎶 was done by Christopher Cross. It’s also very well known and good as is the movie.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Shoutout to running from the Feds with a big bag of something

[@31carrier]

1968 Delfonics/La-La Means I Love You

[@woodyheywood8792]

also one of the best guitar solos we kinda get cheated out of at the end of the sone when they faded out

[@ChristopherHowze]

Hello Ashley. I'm such a fan of your old school reactions. I was wondering if you've ever done a reaction to "Oh Honey" by Delegation?

[@renee176]

The whole album was Great!😊

[@rodeo4786]

Love your expression swhat happens when you feeling it.

[@yrankin1]

Playlist- Road Trip!

[@user-yy4rr2hh7h]

First comment from Thailand.

[@russwr4946]

checkin in ...

[@c.s.m.k5737]

Good taste music. C. Cross!

[@woodyheywood8792]

When they wrote these tunes....they let them "marinated" for awhile before releasing....they din't "churn" out songs back then..well maybe some artists.

[@randysiler5551]

Put it on a driving playlist.

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

Hard to believe this song is almost 50 years old my mom played this albumn on the reg when i was a kid

[@ChefOG_Ra]

Anything my boy Michael McDonald is on is likely to be some heat. The song crossed my ears way back when, but it wasnt until i heard it playing in the grocery story a few years back, that i really clung to it. Thank you Shazam lol this is my 💩

[@31carrier]

1970 Curtis Mayfield/Diamond in the Back

[@tbrew1]

cruising playlist

[@mitchtop3827]

As well as his hits from this album, he also sang the theme from the movie Arthur starring Dudley Moore and Liza Mannelli(the daughter of Judy Garland from the Wizard of Oz). "The best that you can do", great movie. Dudley Moore also starred in the movie "10", with Bo Derek!

CAN YOU HEAR MICHAEL MCDONALD IN BACKROUND VOCALS ???

[@jeffdickens9556]

Next Arthur's theme

[@philiphill6697]

Great reaction. Subbed. If you want to witness amazing versatility, go from The Beatles from first album, Meet The Beatles through the Abbey Road album.

[@c.h.62]

Try another ..Rolling Stones song....(BEAST OF BURDEN )

[@mrod7692]

Road trip music.

[@brothercinnamon2479]

[@davinsims679]

Great artist. Great Songs. But where is he now? What happened to him?
