'80s Yacht Rock King, 74, Blows Fans Away With 'Timeless' Performance of Beloved Song
'80s Yacht Rock King, 74, Blows Fans Away With 'Timeless' Performance of Beloved Song originally appeared on Parade. '80s legend Christopher Cross dazzled fans with a five-minute-long version of his 1979 hit 'Sailing' on opening night of his tour with fellow '80s icons Toto and Men at Work. Fans inside the iThink Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, FL, were treated to a memorable musical moment featuring a long piano intro before Cross entered with the unmistakable guitar riff, followed by his still-spot-on vocals. Fans 'couldn't like this enough.'Cross, 74, sounded pitch-perfect performing 'Sailing,' which reached the No. 1 spot on the U.S. Hot 100 in 1979. Adult contemporary rock — also known as Yacht Rock — has seen a resurgence in recent years, thanks to Gen X nostalgia, social media influence, and the genre's calm, uplifting tone that offers a gentle escape from modern-day stresses. In clips of Cross's performance, fans sailed into the comment section to reminisce and celebrate the singer's renewed popularity. 'This song will never get old,' shared one fan, while another added, 'Timeless. The crowd feels this… beautiful.''Brings back great memories of growing up,' shared another, echoing the sentiments of many. The U.S. leg of Christopher Cross's tour concludes on August 30 in Ridgefield, Washington. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 '80s Yacht Rock King, 74, Blows Fans Away With 'Timeless' Performance of Beloved Song first appeared on Parade on Jul 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 20, 2025, where it first appeared.
