Wow! What a great guy and so humble. Amazing!
Great interview, nice flow, history and fun stories.
Beautiful looking video studio/set and lighting (watched it on my phone and had to re-watch it on a big monitor)
I LOOOVE this interview. So insightful. Christopher Cross is an under appreciated musician. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
whatta life. CC is a blessed man
Excellent interview!!! 72 years old! He still sounds like a man half his age! Great stuff!!
Chris has always let his music do the talking, but Rick pulled a lot of things out of him that were quite surprising, especially his connection to so many great artists.
72! My goodness he could pass for someone in their 30s! What an interesting history. Keep ‘em coming Rick.
I can listen to Sailing for hours and feel lost in another world. Somehow the open tuning, arrangement, and song just has this quality about it that sounds endless. That song released before my time but I've heard it through the years and it's like a beautiful dream. A sonic signature in time so unique that it will forever stick in my memory. I love this interview!
rick. you killed this internet thing again. lovely interview
damn it i'm crying.. musicians love each other . that jimmy page story really got me
frank zappa! . omg.
Just great to listen to this. Unreal that he's 72 – he just looks and sounds about 30 years younger. Lovely hearing how he came up with Sailing; mystical is a great description of the process of creation.
cousin dupree.. this dude knows what is good..
You should interview Steve Miller.
I really like his tunes: "In the blink of an eye" and "Loving Strangers" .. Good Tunes
Ohhh and "Arthur Theme".. The sax solo is great.
Suh suh serious gearhead.
Love this interview. Still hoping for a Johnny Marr interview in the near future.
I hope I look that good at 72! As an 80's child, there's a lot of memories of Mr. Cross. Specifically, the song he did for the movie, "Arthur".
Please review Thomas Bergeson's work
Thank you for this video! Two great musicians, Rick and Christopher! Amazing!
Would you please make a video about Bach's Passacaglia transcripted for piano?
Wow… Sailing.. ya Perfection It Places you RIGHT There pushing that Sailboat out feeling the warm breeze in your face
Such a fitting t-short choice on Chris’s part…
Great interview 👍
Fascinating that Sailing is in an open tuning. Goes to show the internet, while helpful, can be full of crap. I keep seeing it capo’d up and in standard. Can’t always believe what ya read I guess. 😁
Can't believe his voice sounds so youthful even after all those years!
Fantastic interview, Love Chris! Great job as always Rick!! 👏❤️
A high level conversation
Phenom convo ❤❤❤
Forgive me my un-hip-ness but what does this mean… “four on the floor”?
30 minutes for a local band – that’s the law!
Love this interview – so many great anecdotes. A very modest ….but great musician.
I believe he owned Stevie Ray's # 1 first.
Chris has everything,
great guitarist great song writer great singer 🎉
Gee he looks good for 72. That voice too, still sounds like a young man.
Led Zepplin Austin Municipal Auditorium. Using Shure Vocal Master as their PA that was scrounged up. Sounded great still.
