As the 80's began, Christopher Cross was one of the hottest artists on the planet, as disco was doing a sudden fade-out, and soft rock reclaimed AM radio.
"Ride Like The Wind", when it was recorded a year earlier, featured then-Doobie Brothers frontman-keyboard player Michael McDonald on backing vocals (McDonald would also lend his assistance to Kenny Loggins on "This Is It" later in 1980). Unfortunately, McDonald was a no-show, due likely to a scheduling conflict, when Cross and his band popped up on The Midnight Special in early '80.
