Christopher Cross may have released his legendary song, "Sailing," as a single in 1980, but the yacht rock icon's voice hasn't changed one bit decades later.
Cross, 75, hit the stage at a recent concert and performed the beloved hit, blowing the crowd away with both his ageless appearance and youthful voice. Considering it's been over 45 years since "the song "Sailing" was released as a single, it's incredible to see that the soft rock legend still sounds the same. Captured by @MelMusicReporter, Cross grooved onstage in a navy suit and black hat, and instantly "takes all your worries away" with the hit song.

Cross is Aging like Fine Wine
The years have been good to Cross, who looked particularly youthful in photos snapped at his concert on May 19 at Symphony Hall in Birmingham, England. With so many years of music stardom under his belt, it's great to see the musician happy and healthy.

Cross Laughs at the Term 'Yacht Rock'
While the musician is often instantly associated with yacht rock, Cross told the Irish Times last week that the term doesn't really mean much to him.
“I certainly didn’t have the money to have a yacht. Never had one. Don’t have one now,” he shared. “I was writing songs and trying to get a deal.”
In fact, "Sailing" doesn't have anything to do with yachts or boating. Instead, the song is about his search for mental peace after a troubled upbringing in San Antonio, Texas. The "canvas" that he sings about in the song has nothing to do with a yacht's sails, but the canvas that a painter uses, he continued.
“The canvas is a painter’s canvas. It has more depth to it than people think. A lot of sailors think it’s their theme song, and that’s fine. Whatever peace it brings to people,” he explained.
