45 years after it catapulted Christopher Cross into stardom, "Ride Like The Wind" finally receives an official music video. "I'll be honest with you: Video killed the radio star. I grew up listening to vinyl, listening to Joni, and it's always been about the songs for me." Christopher said in a 2001 interview, hinting to why the song originally didn't receive a music video. Released in 1980 as the lead single from Cross’s 1979 self-titled debut album, Ride Like The Wind raced to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it held for four consecutive weeks. The song’s success helped Cross make history at the GRAMMYs, becoming the first artist to sweep the “Big Four” categories in a single night. Now, director Andrea Calvetti brings the song’s high-octane spirit to life with a fresh visual. "The goal was simple: to have fun, lean into the pulse of the track, and unleash that wild ’70s energy — muscle cars tearing through the desert, shot on vintage anamorphics, chasing something just out of reach. What makes me most proud is how we reimagined the genre’s legacy. This time, it’s an all-female cast behind the wheel — not passengers in someone else’s story, but drivers of their own wild ride." says Andrea Subscribe to the Christopher Cross YouTube channel and tap the bell to turn on notifications: https://seeker.fm/ccsubscribe Sign up to Christopher Cross HQ's Mailing List: https://seeker.fm/ccmailinglist Christopher Cross' 1979 self-titled album is now available in an Expanded Edition, including bonus tracks and the original Demo of "Ride Like The Wind".

The lead single “Ride Like The Wind” spent 4 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was quickly followed up by Cross’ most popular single to date (and first #1 hit) “Sailing”, which later became known as the archetype for the Yacht Rock genre. In 1981, Cross became the first artist in Grammy history to win the “Big Four” most prestigious awards in a single night; Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. Later that year Cross released “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer, Peter Allen, and was the title-theme for the 1981 film “Arthur” starring Dudley Moorre and Liza Minnelli. The song earned Cross his second #1 and the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards. Cross’ sophomore album “Another Page” was released in 1983 and featured the singles “Think of Laura” and “All Right”. Cross has sold over 10M albums worldwide and his songs have been covered and sampled by NSYNC, Puff Daddy, Avant, Shirley Bassey, Dione Warwick, and many more.
