70's Yacht Rock Radio: "Ride Like the Wind" by Christopher Cross

What a classy summer hit. It makes you want to sip wine coolers at sunset.

The miniseries "Mrs. America" used it to great effect during a montage depicting the 1980 election and the meteoric rise of Ronnie and Nancy.

I've always hated Christopher Cross' insipid music and annoying voice.

I do feel bad for him as a person, though. He was an early victim of COVID, which left him paralyzed for a time and having to learn to walk again.

Video killed that radio star. Just one of many casualties - i'm not joking.

He had a face and a bod for radio.
