Ride Like the Wind, Baby!

Christopher Cross is awesome, and he sings an awesome song called "Ride Like the Wind." If I ever need to get pumped up, like before a night out on the town or in my car on the way to a softball game, this is the song of choice.

It is night, my body's weak
I'm on the run, no time to sleep
I've got to ride, ride like the wind
to be free again.

Poetry. Pure poetry. I feel it every time. I feel it in my skin...

Question: What would this song be without the amazing back-up vocals, belted out by Mr. Music Machine, Michael McDonald?

Answer: Not as good. That's for certain.
