i was bike riding this week-end as I normally do&I had to put on this Album."Ride Like the Wind" is still a Jam to me.Michael Mcdonald on background Vocals.(Michael Mcdonald on most Backgrounds just steals the Song almost always IMHO)Sailing was a cool track as well.He never made another Album on the Heights of this Record but this is still a Damn Good Record IMHO.any Reflections on it?

Did he wear his clothes back to front and sing "Jump"?

Yes...the debut album was ok. "Sailing" and "Ride Like The Wind" are adult contemporary staples.He won several grammies for that album too. Those stations will always play those songs. There's something so liberating about "Sailing". "Sailing" was one of the first songs I wanted to learn when I first started playing guitar in guitar lab. Great piece. I bet Pat Metheny could do really do something with this piece on an acoustic.

Chris career went down when MTV hit in the 80's (when visual mattered more than the audio). He wasn't a "visual artist". Therefore, his career suffered.

Good gawd! this is the worst fuckin' crap to be recorded since god-damned Kenny G!

He also won an Oscar 4 the song "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" from the movie "Arthur" with Dudly Moore.

"Sailing" remains on of my favorite grooves...that intro, mmm, mmm, mmm.

Angie Stone covered the song, and did it quite well, I might add. But I can't find it on any of her albums. It may be that she just did it for the tv show she was on (it was eMpTV).
