Taxicab Classics - “Sailing” by Christopher Cross

“Sailing” by the weird, mewing Christopher Cross sold a billion trillion copies when released in the (dreadful) ’80s. Its lilting, woozy, watery sounds captured the hearts of the fawning and brainless back then, leaving Chris Cross (pants on the right way ’round) to make a million bucks and go on to have another smash-hit with Dudley Moore in “Arthur’s Theme”. According to the song, “the canvas can do miracles”… and so can a big chubby face and a double-necked guitar. This is one of those terrible records that is strangely beguiling, sung in a voice that can only be described as “a bit deaf”.
