Christopher Cross - Say You'll Be Mine (Live) [Remastered HD]

[@TommyTaylorOfficial]

It's not exactly "live." This was tracked along with "Sailing" for the same episode of Solid Gold at Amigo Studios in Burbank, subsequent to the release of the album. Vocals are overdubs. Engineered and mixed by Chet Himes. These were TV mixes for the songs for accuracy. We didn't have Nicolette Larson for the show...so the record version wouldn't work. We didn't have Jay Graydon on guitar and that was a solo that Chris never worked up exactly as he did with some of the others. On "Sailing" we didn't have a 48 piece orchestra so a basic track was done "live" in the studio with Hank and James once again to represent the live version. The version of "Sailing" on this page has the original record dubbed in. The broadcast version has the TV mix.

Thanks Tommy! I always thought these “live” tracked songs made y’all LEGIT! Haven’t seen this since 1981… hope to see you out with Chris on the 50th tour?????

[@TommyTaylorOfficial]

@@tb0yp Sure! I just like to keep the history straight. We were a very good band with great chemistry .

[@tb0yp]

@@TommyTaylorOfficial Organic, young, fun and an offshoot of the Steely Dan tree. So good 🙌

[@TommyTaylorOfficial]

@@tb0yp Truth be told I penned the line "Say You'll Be Mine." We were rehearsing in Wichita Falls, Texas at a club on an off day. We were slated to record a second set of demos for Warner in early. 1978. It was around Valentine's Day. Chris was reworking an old Flash song from his past and wanted to start with the chorus like "Hollywood" by Boz Scaggs which we were playing in our cover set. He had the concept of the song and the verses and lead break (subsequently changed by Jay Graydon but played over the same changes). I was eating a box of those Candy Hearts with the valentine messages on them. I looked at one and it said...Be Mine. I piped up..."what about Say you'll be mine?" Chris took it to the bank.

@@TommyTaylorOfficial Love these stories. It’s fascinating to me. Still one of my favorite songs. Tommy Taylor!!!! 🙌

[@dvelilla]

Most people do not realize how good Cross was as a guitarist. He could absolutely shred it!

[@CForged]

Chris you’re a musical genius. Chances of writing so much good music are one in a 100 million. Writing and playing the music

[@Jsm-g2y]

Beautiful Christopher !

[@staceychutskoff1232]

Yess! So Beautiful The 80s...

[@tb0yp]

This is surreal to me. I’ve looked for this Solid Gold clip… I’d guess once per month or so… for over 20 years. There are three 6-piece Christopher Cross versions of Say You’ll Be Mine… 2 radio concerts and this Solid Gold track. Each one has a different guitar solo which I think is FASCINATING!!! LOVE THIS!!!

[@guardingheroes]

That character of a great person with a voice to match. You’re awesome Chris. Love your music. Music is medicine. 🎶🎤🎵🎶🎼 “Say you’ll be mine.” 💃🏼🕺🏻

[@carolthomas7290]

Now playing on repeat in my head tonight! 💜 Love it when there are new posts with videos from the vault! I’m on Another Page and Rendezvous rotation right now. Looking for footage with “Rendezvous” or “What Am I Supposed to Believe”. My friends bought me tickets to a July show 600 miles away for my 50th birthday. And on 2nd Row!!!BEYOND excited!

[@tb0yp]

LOVE Rendezvous

[@rodrigogoncalves5140]

Christopher Cross 1979, um dos melhores álbuns de estreia da história. Por que será que o Christopher abaixou o volume da guitarra nos solos? Sempre tive essa curiosidade, são solos lindos de guitarra

[@panterafuriosa5801]

Engraçado que esse video tem um erro no titulo, pois fala que é a Lyrics video (apenas a letra da musica na tela) mas...Tô até agora tentando achar a letra da musica na tela, pois ela só ta na descrição do video mesmo. Eles deveriam mudar o titulo pra (Official Video) pra facilitar no algoritmo do yt a bufar ainda mais esse videoclipe, pois a musica é lindissima cara. 🤨👌🔥🔥🔥

[@rodrigogoncalves5140]

​@@panterafuriosa5801você tem razão, não aparece a letra no clip

[@panterafuriosa5801]

​​@@rodrigogoncalves5140Eles atualizaram o vídeo agora (colocaram o Live no titulo, mas pelo menos tá bem melhor que antes, embora eles tenham assumido que não era exatamente uma live já que esse é o clipe oficial mesmo. Mas enfim...) Espero que agora o algoritmo ajude a espalhar a boa, pois as músicas do Christopher Cross, são excelentes cara!! 😢😢😢

[@kennethgimpaya8571]

I love song sailing ❤

Love it ! Christopher Cross provided the relaxed Soulful soundtrack for my HS Senior year - 1982. Cool Fact - did you know his producer was the legendary Michael Omartian, who did many other Pop & Gospel music greats as well ? Omartian played for Steely Dan along with Jeff Porcaro. Omartian wasnt just producer but top flite keyboardist & composer. Michaels own albums "White Horse / Adam Again" are fabulous pop Rock funk gems in a similar genre. White Horse: kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_mtrh2NJ2OVrOuqAwVo93YtvC2yUXQlaYY&si=92WAQgz5XPBjOM3v Adam Again: kzbin.info/aero/PLr8mf0wNU_VRhBPS0oRsuLYeReqsPudBa&si=D9e6ROwowiXNSoiK Lemmie know what you think 💬 !

[@toronado455]

Yes Omartian wrote the arrangements for the album. Amazing musician.

[@TommyTaylorOfficial]

@@toronado455 Michael wrote the string arrangements. The majority of the rest of the arrangements were done before we started working on the recordings, by the band. We brought a very nicely baked cake to the party. Michael's brilliance as a keyboardist and producer and orchestrator, decorated it more wonderfully than we could've ever imagined. He is simply one of the greatest in music history. None better and there isn't a nicer guy in the business.

[@toronado455]

@@TommyTaylorOfficial That's awesome! Thanks very much for explaining!

[@tb0yp]

Ok… my last request… I promise! Tom Snyder 🙌

[@Mickey-iv6nf]

Rest in peace Christopher cross. Cancer came too soon😓🌹

[@KrisTheBatSpider21]

Christopher Cross is not dead he is alive and well probably touring

[@Mickey-iv6nf]

It might have been a hoax on an obituary or I might've confused him with another Christopher cross

[@mrfofo2358]

average

[@Nan-1017]

mrfofo, I’m sure you are! lol Christopher cross is anything but, imo. He has amazed me since high school, and he’s a fabulous songwriter and guitarist. I love him💙
