Alright this is a beautiful song. Always knew that but now, at 35, it's even more beautiful. Thanks folks...

that was a nice album, sailing was a cut

[Brenda]

At 718 sessions, Danny Krivit's monthly party, Joe Claussell dropped this in the middle of a set. Everybody's hands were in the air...

[MC]

Christoper Cross was the first person that I ever saw perform live (my first concert). smile.gif

[DJ RON C]

I wore this tape out when I first got it. graemlins/cool_shades.gif

I also Liked "minstrel gigolo" and "the light is on"

[DJ Timmy Richardson]

Dope song, but was there ever a 12".. There has to be.

[C hristian]

there is a cover of "ride like the wind". i have it. forget by who..

[Number Two]

I was thinking of doing a remix of this song. I am serious! I had this song loaded as a wav file in my ACID Pro 4.0 ready to be sliced and diced but got sidetracked. I heard it on a light rock station at work and thought at least the conga break was the sh*t!!! Now at 35 myself I appreciate that style of music myself. Peace.

Check out Rahaan's latest mix on the front page... It drops it somewhere in the middle.

Wow! I was a kid when my mom brought this album home and I being a dancer - always thought of dancing to this one day.

Ironic enough, he is singing at New Jersey Performing Arts Center along with Peobo(?) Bryson, Sheena Easton (?) and Irene Cara.

Someone mentioned Fame! LOL

Shame about ole Peobo(?)! :(

excellent tune.

there is a trance version, with orig on bside

only released on 7' originally :(

[C hristian]

on my record, it might actually be C Cross himself, now that i think about it.

it's damn good. It's got what i would describe as dueling spanish guitars, playing it up.

[Chicago Skyway Music]

true story:

I was at work with my headphones on listening to Rahaan's last mix and when dropped "Ride Like the Wind" I almost lost it at work.

Man, It took me so much by suprise that I couldn't sleep right for a couple of days after that. That song is the shit!

Thanks a lot, Rahaan!
