Scott JohnsonHOST
Or maybe there's just something wrong.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Oh, they also played that Arthur theme from Christopher Cross.
Scott JohnsonHOST
This is the era of music we're hearing.
Scott JohnsonHOST
And it kept going.
Paul HaeniHOST
The one I picked is one that never got to number one in any of the trades, which is a crying shame because it's one of my favorite songs of all time.
Paul HaeniHOST
Peaked at number two in Billboard in the spring of 1980, Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross.
Paul HaeniHOST
Unfortunately, it got in the way of Call Me by Blondie.
Paul HaeniHOST
which raced to number one before Christopher Cross could get there.
Paul HaeniHOST
And like I said, it didn't make number one in any of the other trades, which is a real shame.
Paul HaeniHOST
Of course, he did hit number one with his next single, Sailing, which I also liked, but I didn't like it as much as Ride Like the Wind.
Paul HaeniHOST
In fact, that's still my favorite Christopher Cross song to this day.
Michael EllisHOST
I have a lot, and I wasn't going to try to pick out one, but I will pick out one, okay, because I also like to look at the international charts, and I had all the time I was at Billboard and before and after studied the international charts because many times great songs would go to number one in many countries and not the U.S., And I think I could pick out one.
JD RyznarHOST
It's written by Michael Outterkirk.
JD RyznarHOST
It's Think of Laura by Christopher Cross.
JD RyznarHOST
Shock to this one, a major hit from a major yacht star doesn't have a yachtsky score.
JD RyznarHOST
This is Christopher Cross's final top 10 hit in early 1984, and it was featured prominently on General Hospital.
JD RyznarHOST
Ooh.
JD RyznarHOST
It's maybe not his yachtiest, cloying and acoustic in a John Denver way, but even if it doesn't make the boat, perhaps it can find a place on Hospital Boat? This is a great question.
JD RyznarHOST
That's Christopher
Steve HueyHOST
Cross.
Scott MeyerGUEST
Take me away, Christopher.
Scott MeyerGUEST
Yeah, Christopher Cross.
Scott MeyerGUEST
I
Mark RustadGUEST
don't know what you guys sing in the shower, but I'm thinking let's go with Come Sail Away.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Or maybe there's just something wrong.
Scott JohnsonHOST
Oh, they also played that Arthur theme from Christopher Cross.
Scott JohnsonHOST
This is the era of music we're hearing.
Scott JohnsonHOST
And it kept going.
Charles PignalHOST
Right? Okay.
Charles PignalHOST
And Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross, all those super cool guys are We're doing Yacht Rock, and it feels like Dan Brown could have been Yacht Rocky.
Olivia Kate MenziesHOST
I feel pretty comfortable saying this was probably Yacht Rock.
Charles PignalHOST
Okay.
Dennis MeehanGUEST
Didn't do it.
Dennis MeehanGUEST
Christopher.
BJHOST
Cross?
Dennis MeehanGUEST
Cross, who recorded at the same studio we did in Austin, and that worked out fine for him.
BJHOST
Disney wanted you to write songs that were a cross between ABBA and Christopher Cross.
BJHOST
Yeah, Christopher
Dennis MeehanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Cross.
Dennis MeehanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sure.
RodHOST
It used to be called Soft Rock, and then the last 10 years or so, it was called Yacht Rock.
RodHOST
But a good example of some artists are Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and Christopher Cross.
RodHOST
I love me some
KarenHOST
Michael McDonald now.
RodHOST
Not going to lie about it.
RodHOST
It does slap.
RodHOST
I mean, you get an air supply, Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, and Toto all on one station.
RodHOST
Also, by Karen's definition, I am a gamer, but it's either Angry Birds, Transformers, or my all-time favorite, Temple Run, which is inspired by my love of Pitfall.
Kristal AlfonsoGUEST
It's a little bit more upbeat.
Kristal AlfonsoGUEST
Like they take Christopher Cross, you know, and they kind of, you know, you think Run Like the Wind is like motivating and you want to go out and run.
Kristal AlfonsoGUEST
And then you put it to a house mix, you know, bass beat.
Kristal AlfonsoGUEST
And you're just like, oh, my gosh, that just takes it to a whole new level.
Mandy ConnellHOST
I was talking yesterday about this concert that we went to.
Mandy ConnellHOST
It was Mickey Dolenz, Christopher Cross, the lead singer of Blackfoot, and Todd Rundgren.
Mandy ConnellHOST
And so at some points, they were all four on the stage at the same time.
Mandy ConnellHOST
But Christopher Cross would kind of stand off to the side.
