Today is National Relaxation Day, a day to slow down & unwind, and unplug from your hectic life. To help you out, the TuNesDay Forgotten 45 is a Yacht Rock classic from Christopher Cross with “Sailing”.

The song was the 2nd hit from his hugely successful debut album following the success of “Ride Like the Wind”. Christopher admits that “Sailing” is his favorite song from the album, and it originally wasn’t meant to be released as a single. Not only that, it was recorded using the 3M digital recording system, becoming the first digitally recorded songs to chart.

The song went on to be a #1 hit and is widely known as a Yacht Rock staple. Remember to check out Smooth Sailing Sunday’s every week from 6-8am for two hours of songs like “Sailing” by Christopher Cross, today’s Forgotten 45.
