I was on a Greyhound bus traveling from the East coast to San Diego. This song came on my radio, I unplugged the earphones and cranked the volumn up. The passengers quieted down and became lost in their own thoughts. When the song was over, everyone applauded. A GOLDEN MEMORY.

After losing my job as a steelworker outside Pittsburgh, I moved to Houston, and with one of my best friends, Eugene, we got a job together, and this song came on while we cruised the 610 loop and 'Ride Like The Wind,' became our anthem! Up, Up and away we began, the world was our Pearl we believed, and we never forgot the moment when we first heard this song!!! Just a moment in time!!!

We lived in a trailer on a military base. So dirt poor. I flushed the paycheck down the toilet. But he danced with me. Then in Iceland when i was 9 or ten... for the first time - I DANCED. I REALLY Danced. i shook off the world and when no one watched, I DANCED. TO THIS. It was when I discovered MUSIC. My dad and I.... well we're not so much these days... but i will forever love him.

It was late afternoon and I was driving through the countryside in Greece (Zante) to a restaurant and the sun was beautiful and everything had a golden glow. This song came on the radio and it still makes me smile all these years later

[@BamaJamz1]

You still feel good, after all these years, about that day, because You were exactly where You were supposed to be!! That day/ moment was made especially for You & no one else!! Something tells me that you have had other great memories & moments happen in your life? True or not?!!😎😊😎

I was in Pensacola, FL attending Naval Aircrew school in 1983 when they showed us a jet fighter video set to this song to pump us up before the altitude chamber ride. I found a new appreciation for this tune.

Flash Gordon..... What Class were you assigned to? ✈️🌍

[@flashgordon6238]

@@judgemarshall6127 No clue as to the class number, just remember the chamber ride and the panic in a drum. Got an ear block in the chamber and got held back a week. I went to HC-16 at NAS Pensacola after aircrew class as a crewchief on UH-1N Heuys. Then "A" school for Aviation Electronics tech in Millington, TN followed by three tours with VXE-6 to McMurdo, Antarctica. VXE-6 was at Pacific Missile Test Center NAS Point Mugu.

I think his looks are TREMENDOUS!!! i just dont think Christopher ever really wanted to be famous; I think he made great music, which makes it impossible to avoid fame. that's why he just disappeared one fine day. which is gonna be a curse when you're putting out SUCH damn good music, and rollin' w/ the likes of Michael McDonald.
