The most beautiful song ever wrote. The perfect song. The words, the arrangement, the music, the effects… This song stops me in my tracks everytime it’s played.
In '95 i would listen to the radio (we had "radios" way back then) and when this song came on, i would focus, and just be "taken away". I always used to envision early summertime, people talking, having fun in the sun and water, while a huge white anvil cloud just sits out there, completing the whole grand aesthetic... His voice IS absolutely beautiful and it still "takes me away"
Loved this backstory. One of my fav songs to meditate too and listen to during “take offs” ✈️😂😅 I think this song for me teleports me to calm serenity and somewhere light. Life can be hard and anxiety is tough. Thank you Christopher Cross. One of my favs ✨❤️
This song is a masterpiece. One of the best pop songs ever IMHO. So much good can be said about it. Chris' vocals. The instrumentation. Arrangement. Production. The words and melody make it pretty unique too. In a league of its own. I guess there's a reason I've listened to it a million times!
Massive Howard fan, but this clip is another example of how back in the Krock days the little respect Howard had for some of the insanely talented people that came through his doors. Because Christopher wasn’t Paul McCartney, Howard doesn’t care and his tone is almost disrespectful.
I disagree Howard was trying to keep light and funny. If he wanted to be rude he would've been. He went way harder on WAY WAY bigger celebs than christopher cross.
Can you explain this to me? Because I fully agree. Nowadays Howard is incredibly kind & respectful and I believe that’s the real him. What changed? Also I’ve met Christopher Cross, one of the nicest people and definitely 💯 one of the most talented artists to ever make records in the last 50 years. What a voice.
Christopher Cross has to be one of the alltime American songwriting legends sailing and aurthurs theme in particular are just genius songwriting masterpieces brilliant musician❤

Just pure talent. He sounds as good as he did 40 years ago.
Because this clip was 30 years ago. 😂
Christopher's voice is just heavenly. Anytime "Sailing" comes on the radio, the whole family will stop what they're doing and sing along.
One of the best songs ever written.
Yes!❤❤❤❤
It really is
LEGEND ABOVE
Belongs in a Hall Of Fame of the greatest songs of all time. When music was music.
yes
Back story makes the song even better. One of the great classics.
Big respect to the keyboard player, playin without a damper/sustain pedal.
I love this song. It teleports me straight back to the 80s.
👁😉🙏💚🇫🇷
His voice... just wow... so much soul... so much light...
He does have a good voice but when he first came out on MTV people were shocked his looks didnt match his voice and almost derailed his career.
Yea. Give me shivers.
SUCH an underrated vocalist - magical.
Underrated by whom? He was a MASSIVE 5 Grammy winning star in his heyday and still well known today.
he wasn't underrated at all. he was praised for his voice incessantly
And guitarist
His voice is just so pure. Not a single intonation issue at all. Amazing.
This song is a gift that keeps on giving.
One of the Greatest songs ever
No auto tune just a real singer
Okay boomer
@@philipbottomley2537 The natural ability to sing without a crutch seems foreign to you.
@philipbottomley2537 Okay, short bus 🤡.
@@chadseals9943 Forgive him, he is used to listening to crap that's why he considers great music a nuisance.
@@philipbottomley2537Gen X buddy, can dissolve millennials into dust.
Sailing was released at the end of 1979 and became one of the biggest songs of 1980!!Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
His voice is not from this earth its from heaven😊!
Christopher Cross and Dean Freidman.....
This performance gave me the chills I needed. Thanks, Stern Show.
OK
Gives more chills than Post Malone
Stern’s singing SOOOOKS😂
I'm really stoked to hear the reason behind this song.....I appreciate his honesty
The most beautiful song ever wrote. The perfect song. The words, the arrangement, the music, the effects…
This song stops me in my tracks everytime it’s played.
Totally agree with you!!!
oh that's very debatable
Ya it very well could be. 👍😎
Me too, it kind of reaches into my chest and grabs my heart......or soul maybe and takes me back to somewhere I haven't even been to...

Beautiful song.
Such an interesting songwriter.
His phrasing, chorus, and song structure are very unique and underrated
100 percent
His voice is magic.We almost lost him to Covid. Thank god he’s still here and making music.
Thanks for sharing. I didn’t realize that
Wrong. We did lose Howard to covid, he lost his flippin mind.

Covid1984
Always felt this was such a haunting song. It’s amazing but it also depresses me in a way and I love it.
That was wonderful! Such a comforting song.
Christopher killed this shit!! Legend
Wore this album out back when it came out. Still one of the best ever.
Such a beautiful song. Many memories. Thanks Christopher.
Indeed ! Happy holidays wiz
Christopher Cross first album is a masterpiece!
Chris is actually great guitar player.
Its not a hard song to play
@Gecko.... No no. Chris played Ted Nugent and other rockers before fame hit. He's a very proficient player.
He’s actually an incredible guitar player.
i bet it was a lot harder to write though.
Pity the keyboard player forgot his sustain pedal #staccato
Best song takes me back when I was young thank-you Chris good times growing up early 80s
Artistically he struck gold with that song & album. Priceless!!!!!
One of the most distinctive voices in Music.
A true classic Artist.
Absolutely the Truth ❤❤❤
Loved this backstory. One of my fav songs to meditate too and listen to during “take offs” ✈️😂😅
I think this song for me teleports me to calm serenity and somewhere light. Life can be hard and anxiety is tough. Thank you Christopher Cross. One of my favs ✨❤️
"New Kid in Town" was written by The Eagles about Christopher Cross
That’s my favorite song. Need a source
Really???

On FM format, Howard has much less time to interview. Thus, he had to be brief and blunt.
Agree. I love Howard but Chris deserved more
i enjoyed listening to christopher cross back in the late 1970's/early 1980's. i remember this song as a kid.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the song, but I found when I learn the backstory to certain things, it brings a whole new meaning and this is one of them…
He's awesome! No auto bullshit !
I always liked this song
His voice is goosebumps and love. One of the best voices that do not naturally exist 💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰🥰👌👌💖💖💖
This beautiful song means different things for different people.
Beautiful song and great story.
