Christopher Cross's Sailing is a masterpiece and at the time was considered a big hit, he wrote this for his father that was an alcoholic telling him that he was going to make it. He is a great guitarist.

[@Nastyfinger1444]

Had a friend in college who listened to this dong played while he sat alone in a darkened room. He is now a physician.

[@UConnNation12]

One of the greatest songs of all time. Freshman year of high school. So surprised he didn't have a multiple decade career.

[@cjy6967]

He steps up to the mic and nails it. I’ve heard so many people say; that sound is coming from him? His voice was perfect for this song.

“Ride like the wind”...another classic!

"Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" and "Think of Laura" are my favorites

[@kenperk9854]

So many of the 70s artists seemed to be hooked into a higher power of being that began and ended in the 1970s. I still believe it had a lot to do with the end of the Vietnam war. As the decade of the 70s rolled on, the further it got from the nightmare of Vietnam the music became more laid back and poets with guitars like Christopher Cross were everywhere! The lyrics actually meant something again without making you mad or too sad. A lot of the disco songs were a part of that. The goal was to try to forget what we went through for so many years and be happy and have fun for the first time since the 50s. Thank you President Nixon for stepping in to end JFK and LBJ's debacle.

[@Aldebaron-fp3ef]

This was a favorite of mine in college. Lying on the couch listening to it over and over, which meant I had to keep going to the record player and repositioning the needle to this song. It really made me want to go sailing. With someone special.

In 1980 this song won Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Arrangement of the Year, and helped Cross win the Best New Artist award. VH1 named "Sailing" the most "softsational soft rock" song of all time. The song was recorded in 1979, utilizing the 3M Digital Recording System, making it one of the first digitally recorded songs to chart.

[@davisholman8149]

I was listening to this with my Bose headphones on in 1980 - pregnant with my first child - this was the day before my due date.

[@richardhenderson9767]

"All Right" by Christopher Cross has a lot of history with me... I was young(9), when Washington beat Miami 27-17 in the Super Bowl. "Inside the NFL", was a show on HBO at the time, and Len Dawson and Nick Butoconti(both former players) were on the show. Well, they did highlights from the previous weeks games, and in early 1983, it was highlights from that Super Bowl.... As the show ended for another season, they showed clips of John Riggins, running for a touchdown on 4th and 1, over and over... What a game... As the highlights showed, as the program ended, they played this Christopher Cross song. I have always remembered that in my head, since it happened. It must have meant something, if I cannot forget it.😀❤

I swear, this song , and “Southern Cross” by Crosby stills and Nash, are the two songs I would recommend anyone listen to who wonder swhat it’s like to sail on the ocean. I have been blessed to be able to sail from Gulfport, Mississippi and Gulf Shores, Alabama to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and Belize. My God. Imagine…a nighttime quietness broken only by the sound of waves all around your, lying on your back, feeling the rock of the waves as you look up at a night sky that fills your vision endlessly and that is so full of stars you wonder how you could possibly have never seen this before. It is peace. It is tranquility. It is a calmness of mind and spirit that cannot be replicated by any other experience. It is a feeling of connection to everything and a feeling of individual wonder simultaneously. I honestly don’t have the words to adequately describe an experience that you will never forget, that will change you, uplift your soul and make you one with the vastness of the night sky while reminding you that you are simply an observant, small, single consciousness…if you ever have the chance, go. Do it. It will change you forever. And whatever stressors or worries you have…they will be made insignificant. For the rest of your life.
