'Sailing' by Rod Stewart was released in 1975. It was previously recorded by 'The Sutherland Brothers' but I've never heard of them! Have you?
If I was asked to name a Rod Stewart song, my first thought would be 'Sailing', I don't know why?
It was a No.1 hit for Rod for 4 weeks in the UK and it remains his best selling single. It only reached No.58 in the USA.
It was re-released in 1987 as a charity single for the Zeebrugge ferry disaster.
You can listen to it here and watch the video. It looks like Rod has quite a bit of make up on!
It's a nice song, very relaxing. I'm not sure I have a favourite Rod Stewart song...I think I like them all.
Do you have a favourite song by Rod Stewart?
Maggie May. I also have a fondness for the Christopher Cross song called "Sailing."
ReplyDeleteHi Susie, I've not heard of Christopher Cross but just checked it out and the song is lovely! I can see why you like it. Thanks for that x
DeleteI've heard the song, but the first one that came to mind for me was "Come Sail Away" by Styx. Ah, now I have awesome music running through my head. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of assistance :)
DeleteCan't say I'm a fan of Rod Stewart - I don't really like his voice, although I think there is one song I like but I can't remember what it is called - I only know it when I hear it. I love your photo/artwork though; it'd look awesome in my bathroom, which is painted almost this exact blue :) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura! I can email you it in a high res to print if you like? x
DeleteLove what you did with the photo. So pretty!
