Beautiful!! He does have an amazing voice. I LOVEd that he had your shirt! Such an amazing compliment and appreciation for your recognition of him. Jamel, you do bring a lot of happiness and enjoyment to us, your followers and apparently to some of the artists too.
Oh brilliant I'm so pleased that Christopher cross appreciates at what your doing awesome 👍& I love this song & it's beautiful song by the wonderful Christopher cross ❤
@@terricooper3678 her cover of Kieth Whitley's "When You Say Nothing At All" absolutely destroys me. Kieth was a friend of my family. Such a nice guy. Sadly, he drank himself to death over a woman who didn't deserve him.
🌟EVERY SONG by CHRISTOPHER CROSS is just a PURE RELAXING EXPERIENCE 😌 His VOICE just sends me to a HAPPY PLACE that just makes me feel at PEACE ☮ Jamel & Christopher ALWAYS Much Love ~ 😈🔺🦋
Got turned on to you last week, Jamel. My wife and I love you - age 67. Been into music my entire life, love to see people turned on by it. You're doing God's work.
Every time I hear a Christopher Cross song man I just go into island mode of peace and relaxation. He can take you there for sure. Awesome props for a well deserved young man from Chris 🏝️🍹🌅👏
I'm so glad that Christopher Cross knows how much you appreciate his music and gives you love and respect back. It's great to see. Stay safe and Keep on Rocking.
This song was written by Chris and one of his cohorts for an episode of "Growing Pains". I personally think that he is one of the really underrated songwriters and performers. I've been to two of his concerts in the past 5-6 years and he still sounds great and seems like such a down-to-earth and decent guy . . . PURE MAGIC!!!
bradness Hi, yes I definitely agree. He’s one of the best Yacht artists ever! Being that that genre of music is a mixture of different types of music, to me it’s a smooth & soothing sound I consider easy listening. ✌🏻
bradness I agree in part. I do however think that Michael McDonald ( who may be on every Yacht Rock recording) deserves his kudos! 😊 what do you think?
SO HAPPY THAT COVID CAN'T TAKE HIM. HE LOOKS GREAT WITH THE WEIGHT LOSS AND RESURGENCE OF POPULARITY THANKS FOR SHARING HIM AGAIN WITH US LOVE YOU JAMEL
Jamel...you have Brother Christopher buying your merch and sending you pics.....amazing dude. Christopher Cross is a cool dude and lives here in Austin, TX with me. You have one of the best TH-cam channels....stay genuine and true brother.
I'm a Black man in Canada in my early 60's. Christopher Cross is a great songwriter & musician. I've admired him for a very long time, and his songs are literally timeless. Great watching & listening as he gains new fans.
Chris does a great job with this song, and some real feelings are pouring out in the lyrics and the music. Jamal, react to a song that is the opposite of this..."I'm Not in Love" by 10cc. Great tune!
I love his voice. I still remember the first time I heard him on the radio...1980 - “Ride Like the Wind”. This song is just as beautiful. Thank you for such wonderful music, Mr. Cross! And thank you, Jamel, for such great reviews!
@@15scottie That's right. They were on vacation in Hawaii. He married Chelsie Noble who played his love interest on the show later. It's been a long time. But I do remember the song.
That's awesome that Chris bought one of your shirts and was proud to show it off. Humility and appreciation reap more rewards than any other attributes. You and he share that spirit. Good for you brother. And good to know Christopher is still the kind of person we thought he was back in the day. The lyrics to this were written by the great John Bettis. John used to be in a band with Richard and Karen Carpenter. John wrote the lyrics to "Top of The World" and "Only Yesterday" for The Carpenters. Chris hangs with the elites of the music world. He wrote "Arthur's Theme" with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager and Peter Allen. It don't get any more royal than that. Blessings.
It's wonderful to put Chris on after a stress filled day ... he just has a way of lifting that veil of angst off of your shoulders and making you feel like it's going to be alright ... no matter what. Thanks brother for playing this, many blessings.
My first introduction to Christopher Cross was through his song Arthur's Theme from the film Arthur starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. If you can find a live version, I'd like to see your reaction. Keep the love and positivity flowing, we can all use that these days.
This is a prime reason why YT shouldn't block reactions. Jamel learns about great tunes from us, then those of us who don't know the tune hear it, and if we love it, we'll buy it. And the artists like Christopher Cross and Ambrosia love Jamel for getting the word out and they respond with love in kind. Lots of winners here and loved shared! ❤
Fantasy: Christopher Cross heals up better than before, the virus goes away, CC goes on tour and brings Jamel to sing the Michael McDonald backup harmonies.
When I heard you say that we need to keep this music alive and to share it, you have stated a wish of mine that my era of music should always be alive. For several years now, as I age, I have been downright worried that my music I grew up with would fling across the cosmos never to exist again! I mean that honestly, and as I watch your show I now realize that it never will leave. I guess that I thought that no one, such as yourself would be around to keep the vault open and I was so wrong. Thank you for reminding people that the love and peace from the 60’s and 70’s music was, and is for a purpose. Most of those musicians were young adults, kids, learning from each other how to play the guitar. Growing up a lot of kids in my neighborhood had garage bands and you could hear music all summer long! Bring along a tambourine, spoons, or harmonica and you could join in. This music came from those kids that I grew up with!! Thank you Jamel TC. Vicki from Iowa.
Men need to love the same as women do. My best friend was swept away by a woman many years ago and because he was willing to keep himself clean from bad of the world, he still is swept away by the same woman today. The best love is not found by tasting everything the world offers before you decide. The best love is found when you find it and then you hope it is given back. The only way you know if it is given back is from listening to your own heart and soul and your gut and remembering what mothers' always say. It is amazing how many times we men find true love and we don't know it because we are so distracted and "spread out" with our thoughts.
Christopher Cross is one of my all-time favorite singing artist. He had me at hello! Back in the 80s and until now. He has the voice of an angel! #numberonefan ❤
If you like this type of love song then you will really love listening to Dan Fogelberg. I've been a fan since 1972, hope you can give him a review. Thank you for keeping our music alive!
He makes my heart sink , i had his albums as a child sailing, aurther, ride like the wind :) just a regular dude with talent :) :) So humbled :) 10 in 78 it was a magical time for me :)
This song is simply beautiful in so many ways. I'm a man and I have been SWEPT AWAY as Christopher sings about. It's a wonderful feeling. I'm sure many other guys out there have been there but just don't admit it. Many of us were brought up believing not to show our emotions. We all need to be loving to each other and not afraid to show it.
Saw him a few years ago. He just performs a song, doesn’t spend a long time talking about a back story short and quick, then right into the next song. Not wondering around the stage or distractions. 👍
I had this dude’s tape in the early 80ies and would listen to it in my portable tape deck I attached to my bike handlebars. I was like 12. But today is the first time actually saw the guy! Haha! Rock on Chris!
I sang this song to my unborn son (my first) when I was pregnant. The song still makes me cry. He captured so perfectly how love can sometimes just overwhelm you.
This is the only Christopher Cross song you've reacted to that I don't know. In fact the reason I found you is because I saw you were reacting to "Ride Like The Wind" and that's my favorite C. Cross song.
That is so amazing Jamel aka Jamal Congratulations I'm so happy for you. What a couple of great guys!! Love Christopher Cross. His music takes me back to summertime in the 70's. His voice is angelic.
Dang!!!!!!! I loved Christopher before this, now I’m borderline infatuated with him. What a great guy & absolutely amazing musician. Anyone who’s into Jamel & Cross simultaneously are literally “my people”.
Probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! I had the pleasure of seeing him twice, Opened for Fleetwood Mac in 1981in Las Cruces, NM, USA and saw him at the Spencer Theater in Ruidoso, NM, USA🦋💞💞💞Thank you J!!!!
Glad you're doing Chris! He has so many fabulous songs that so few people know about. After his initial success, a lot of people drifted away, but they shouldn't have, because his writing kept getting even better than before.
You're leading a movement of love and understanding. The world needs more like you, young man. Peace...
Mister Rogers said to look for the helpers. You are a helper, Jamel.
Amen.
Congrats on the love from Chris, he a great artist and love his music
16 TONS ERNIE FORD.... LETS GO.
He looks better now
@@annother3350 he sure do.
That is so cool that Christopher is showing you some love, it brought tears to my eyes, but don't tell anyone.😢
Me too! 😥
I'm gonna get a Christopher cross t-shrit from Amazon soon.
I feel the same.
Congrats on the love you got from him. Well-deserved, Jamel.
Such a smooth voice and a great romantic song, sweet and simple just a guy with a guitar singing from his heart
What an honor, Christopher Cross wearing your shirt. I watch you everyday
Christopher Cross is one of my favorites as are you!! I'm so happy for you and to belong to this community!! Thank you, Jamel!!

So encouraging when good things happen to people who do good!
Amen.
I would LOVE to hear Allison Krause sing this. A duet with her and Christopher Cross would be pure GOLD!
Yes!!!😊🥰
She's amazing!
You are right
Yes! I saw her in concert. She could sing the phone book and it would make you cry. I love her song Simple Love.

Chris has one of those voices you instantly recognize. Love him. Great entertainer!
Not sure who was more excited when I saw him post that picture on Instagram, me or you! That is so cool. Thanks for all you do Jamel! Peace and love!

My favorite Christopher Cross song EVER!!! And I love this live version!!
Christopher Cross has such a fantastic voice. A to have that sort of vocal control live, in front of an audience, that takes talent.
My god his voice sounds beautiful as it did in the day! WOW Just WOW!!!
The king of sentimental song ~ Christopher Cross
CC wearing Jamel's shirt, that's so freaking cool.
I've never heard this song before, it makes me want to listen to more of Christopher Cross actually. And I'm from his era. Great video as per usual.
Christopher Cross takes me back to when life was good. Thank you for this escape.
This song was written by Chris and one of his cohorts for an episode of "Growing Pains". I personally think that he is one of the really underrated songwriters and performers.

Christopher Cross , King of easy listening music!
He may be king of Easy Listening, but CC deserves at least a crown and/or sash for his noted place in Yacht Rock!!
bradness Hi, yes I definitely agree. He’s one of the best Yacht artists ever! Being that that genre of music is a mixture of different types of music, to me it’s a smooth & soothing sound I consider easy listening. ✌🏻
@@missgmoma Good call! I'll accept that!! There's plenty of room in both genres for a fellow central Texan!
@@bradsmack1 Hahaha! I would gladly board that yacht (pun intended) & go sailing(pun intended) See what I did there 👆
Stay blessed✌
bradness I agree in part. I do however think that Michael McDonald ( who may be on every Yacht Rock recording) deserves his kudos! 😊 what do you think?
Cross has a way of blending his voice with his guitar. You don't know where one begins and the other ends.
Chris Cross is the king of easy listening! Jamel thanks for you are doing to help heal this crazy world! Peace and love brother!✌️
That’s awesome about Mr Cross wearing your shirt!!
Just one of those timeless, angelic voices. We have been truly blessed. Peace and Love.
The incredible unique voice. The melody. The Sweet guitar. This is a beautiful song! Christopher Cross is amazing. This is beautiful! Love it!♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
This song was played on the 80s TV sitcom Growing Pains a couple of times .
Yes! That's where I remembered it :)
That great voice hasn't changed after all these years. so elegant and so soothing.. Thank you for the amazing reaction, bro Jamel.
Jamal_aka_Jamal is such cool guy I would love to see him at age 75 be a cool senior citizen.
"seeing my tomorrows in your eyes, I was swept away."
Like becoming a parent. So much love in that line.
Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy.
SO HAPPY THAT COVID CAN'T TAKE HIM. HE LOOKS GREAT WITH THE WEIGHT LOSS AND RESURGENCE OF POPULARITY THANKS FOR SHARING HIM AGAIN WITH US LOVE YOU JAMEL
He has the voice of an angel! His tone is incredimazing! Gives me chills hearing him sing..

YAAAASSSS!!!
Maybe check out Rick Springfield's remake too
I just love Christopher Cross so much. I can't believe someone thumbs down 🤔. All their taste must be in their mouth!😁
Why would you give a thumbs down to anything Jamal reacts too? 👍👍👍
@@IrishKackexactly the most genuine person...have a great day!💗
Pbbbhht.
Funny lookn mouth 🗣
My grandma used to say that!!
Normally the fan of musician is wearing the musician's merch, not the other way around. A credit to the both of you.
I love his voice. I still remember the first time I heard him on the radio...1980 - “Ride Like the Wind”. This song is just as beautiful. Thank you for such wonderful music, Mr. Cross! And thank you, Jamel, for such great reviews!
Chris is an underrated guitarist, he uses a lot of alternate tunings.
This song was featured on Growing Pains when Kirk Cameron's character fell in love.
Girl was actress Kelly Hu.
@@15scottie That's right. They were on vacation in Hawaii. He married Chelsie Noble who played his love interest on the show later. It's been a long time. But I do remember the song.
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the song on here lol. Great memories
Ooh I love this. This is the first Im hearing this too.
Me too. Simply beautiful 😊
I hope yall try his other songs too, i started late of January of this year and i got couple songs from Spotify on my phone of him. The man a legend.
Thank you for GETTING it, Jamel!! We love Christopher, and we love YOU!

Jamel - you have arrived. Bless Christopher Cross! He uses his thumb like I learned to do from Toy Caldwell.

There's a song by Steve Perry, "Foolish Heart". It's pretty, but so bittersweet. Hope you can hear it.......
Jamel, for those that show you the love, there’s 100’s or more people out there who would if they could.
Keep on keeping on.
The 80s sitcom Growing Pains features this song on an episode they did in Hawaii.
More Christopher Cross! My husband loves his voice.
I can listen to this everyday, this is pure loveliness. Angelic.
He makes my heart sink , i had his albums as a child sailing, aurther, ride like the wind :) just a regular dude with talent :) :) So humbled :) 10 in 78 it was a magical time for me :)
Way to go Jamal! Christopher is still going strong, great artist and voice and song writer. And he's not far down the road from me...love that, too!
That’s awesome he’s wearing your shirt! Big time Jamel! Almost to a half a million followers too!

Do Christopher’s song “I Really Don’t Know Anymore.” It’s another one with Michael McDonald. Sublime!
Gotta check out!
Please check this song out
