"Sailing" by Rumer

 

Pakistani born singer Rumer covers "Sailing," a 1979 soft rock single from San Antonio, Texas singer songwriter Christopher Cross.

If you were in the market for a remake of a yacht rock staple with Karen Carpenter-esque vocals, Rumer has it!

For another Christopher Cross cover, Fitz and the Tantrum's version of "Arthur's Theme" can be found here.

"Arthur," the classic 1981 Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli romantic comedy, was rebooted by Russell Brand in 2011.

And, though the movie was a full point lower in the IMDb rankings than the Oscar worthy original, I'm all about this update on "Arthur's Theme," originally a Golden Globe winner for San Antonio, Texas soft rocker Christopher Cross, performed by Los Angeles, California neo soul group Fitz and the Tantrums.

For a cover of Fitz and the Tantrums, Stereo Avenue's version of "The Walker" can be found here.
