The two versions are great in my opinion. The greatest thing about Avant version of "Sailing" is that he paid tribute to Christopher Cross and brought the old song alive in the minds of the younger generation. This song died in the mid eighties but now, there's point of reference to the original artist(Christopher Cross) that such great song was from the 80s. Great job Avant, you brought it home to ballet/R&B format. I love it.
First get on your knee's and ask our Lord Jesus into your "heart", your and life, ask our Lord direction for your life baby-girl, and receive it!! for we do have an savior who has "already taken the sin of this world on his body on the cross!!" "ah-glory"!! so pray that sincere pray Ashley and watch ur life change! and receive grace! Lord GOD do love you!!! " I am telling you what i know to be the TRUTH!!! "BLESSED"
I listen to this song every day I come home from a long day of work in Manhattan. I kick off my shoe's, pop open a bottle of wine, lay across my sofa and chill. What more could I ask for? This is the perfect song to relax to. Great job Avant.
God bless you.. I can hardly listen to this song without crying , reminiscing about my wife and me and havinglots of fun and she's alive... Sorry for your loss
I love how the brother did this classic such justice. Kept it simple, yet threw in his soulfulness. A true musician recognizes where there is beauty in simplicity. Great singers also recognize when and when NOT to "blow". Respect
This song touches me in so many ways! I fell in love with Christopher Cross’s version instantly the first time I heard it all those years ago. It always makes me cry...pain and hope all at once...”if the wind is right you can sail away into serenity”.....”its the dream and winds that carry me and soon I will be free”!!! Now I’m in love all over again and absolutely LOVE Avant’s remake!! This is on repeat on my playlist.
As a child my mother had a traveling medical field job so we moved around a lot, every couple months to be exact. We always drove to our next city sometimes it would be hours and sometimes It would be days en route. After praying for protection it always used to rain getting on the express way. She used to play this song all the time, looking out the window and hearing this with the rain and the freedom I had moving around is something I’ll never forget. Being in the middle of the Appalachian mountains away from civilization and being the only car on the road listening to this just me and my family. The feeling is quite indescribable, music is so magical and this song brings me back to the joy and wonder I had as a child. ❤️
The first time that I heard this song, I just closed my eyes and went to a happy place(i was really sad, but it helped me to sail away)...I love it!! Job well done Avant!!
@@leshayjohnson8728 he forgives you and always loves you no matter what, he's a angel in heaven in a better place and he will always have your back and he will always be in your heart no matter. 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@leshayjohnson8728I'm so sorry to hear that, but you have to learn to forgive yourself. Your father would not want you to live in regret and not live with hope. I'm sure he knows your heart and how much you love him. Just keep that love you have for him strong, always pray for him and remember the good times. But most importantly, live your life and be happy. Be good to others, make people happy and your father will forever be proud.
Carl Thomas summer rain Total kissing you Brandy full moon Fantasia Even Angels Toni B. Let it flow City high What would you So for real Candy rain Dru Hill Incomplete And Avant Sailing and so..... are always on repeat In my feelings don't mind me
You alright ms lady how could any one not be listening to this masterpiece? Its so good to be in love- would so much rather lived and loved, then to live and not loved at all.
hi. My boyfriend who recently passed away loved the fact that I loved this so he taped it 30 times. Every time it went off it came right back on. Is that love ?
I just heard this song on the radio a few days ago, and did not know who this beautiful voice belong to. I love the original song, nevertheless this is just so well done that it made me hunt this remake down. I'm young enough to remember when new school R&B use to sound great. I had all but given up on the present day sound. This song is so well done that it gave me a new hope. Congrats Mr Avant on a job well done. You just got a new fan.
THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG! I am a huge Christopher Cross fan! I would never accept this song as a cover by anyone else..But Avant? YOU KILLED IT! I VERY MUCH ACCEPT THIS COVER! YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE SCREEN TIME! GOD BLESS YOU❤
This the type of song that you and that special someone is out on a patio or a veranda in a hammock or an oversized paito chair snuggling in eachother's arms with glass of wine and watching the sun set and no one else matters and its just you and your special someone in the world right then and there. Not to mention this song makes me cry a little. God Bless all.
This song popped into my head one day for no reason. I couldn’t remember the name of it, till I found it(original version), and I’ve playing on repeat! But then the other day I heard this version on the radio and I absolutely love it!!! Awesome job for giving life again to such a great song!!👏🏼👏🏼
Omg..a friend shared this with me,I've heard the original before but this one took it to a whole new level,it s like hearing it for the first time ,it s rare songs move me the way this one did ❤️💙
My first time hearing Avant's version of this song was 2 days and I thought it was new. He sounds amazing! And his rendition of this song is perfect! I don't think anyone could have done such an amazing cover than Avant.♡
I just heard this on the radio and ran to google it. That voice is so sweet! Avant is underrated. I don't usually lile remakes of iconic classics like this one... but this is beautiful! Well done!
i love when an artist recreates a classic and interprets it as if it was there's. he kills this joint. Also Brian Mcknights cover of Distant Lover by Marvin Gaye is crazy too and Lil Mo's cover of Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper... killer covers!
I heard that even Christopher Cross the original singer of this song gave this version right here a stamp of approval. He said it was one of the best remaids he ever heard. Wow! That had to be a milestone right there
![Christopher Cross - Sailing (Official Music Video) [Remastered HD]](/img/n.gif)
Christopher Cross would be proud of your version
Both are my jam
I agree! A lot of remakes are horrible and should have been left alone! But..Avant took his time and nailed it!
YES yes yes
I think Christopher Cross should find Avant and give him the biggest hug. Avant took something special and made it that much more.
I agree
The two versions are great in my opinion. The greatest thing about Avant version of "Sailing" is that he paid tribute to Christopher Cross and brought the old song alive in the minds of the younger generation.

This was the best response ever
N sync also performed this song in 1990's.

Well spoken
Let’s not forget *NSYNC’s version also a classic
One of the BEST remakes.
di m yes it is & also Nsync version is great too
Sailing !!!!!!....... Take me away ... To where I always heard it could be ..
.. From dream and wind to carry me soon I will be free ....
Indeed!
Better than the original.
I agree ,I had to put it on repeat
I listen to this song every day I come home from a long day of work in Manhattan. I kick off my shoe's, pop open a bottle of wine, lay across my sofa and chill. What more could I ask for? This is the perfect song to relax to. Great job Avant.
Love this version of Sailing! Great job Avant! One of the most underrated male singers!
This is my soothing song. It takes my mind off of negative things.
Still in awe, 2019!
This song just takes me some place; simply beautiful.
Thank you Avant and Christopher Cross.
It's so so reminds me of the mother of my 3 beautiful kids who passed on 2011. She was a dear friend,lover and soulmate. I MISS HER!!!
Sorry for your loss

God bless you.. I can hardly listen to this song without crying , reminiscing about my wife and me and havinglots of fun and she's alive... Sorry for your loss

You hit the nail on the head, I was thinking the same thing.
Kennieth Nelson I totally agree
Great point, I agree
Kennieth Nelson ...Correct... I just hate it didn't get the air play it needed!!! Still a Great song!!
Kennieth Nelson soooooo true!
He killed this joint
187 it
Yes he did.
This song touches me in so many ways! I fell in love with Christopher Cross’s version instantly the first time I heard it all those years ago.

Because they don't have a beautiful heart we have 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
I usually dont like remakes but he has my blessing
I know right. This is the shit here.
If there is a R&B artist that could cover this song perfectly it would be Avant. His voice just takes you away. Beautiful ❤
My boy Avant did it again listen to his soothing voice. 2020 who else is here because of old school music, ISN'T IT GREAT ✌️✌️
2022
2024!
Who’s listening in 2019?? This is so smooth....

Amazing
@@Samannthamariej I’m very grateful for that experience 🙏🏽❤️
My mom would always play this on road trips too. I love it so much
Dopeness ♥️💞
Nice
Incredible. I usually don't like cover songs but this one can't be denied.
Tremendous cover. Avant knows the secret. Don't cover a ballad unless you are going to put all your soul into it. My God, what a great voice.
Facts...
Veryy great song Both Christopher Cross and Avant Sang there absolute hearts out on this song
yep the both versions are lovely
Love both versions.
The first time that I heard this song, I just closed my eyes and went to a happy place(i was really sad, but it helped me to sail away)...I love it!! Job well done Avant!!
I miss my husband who died recently of a heart attack. Its not far to never-neverland...Sail free baby. You are free...
I had a father who died in a heart attack it was because of me I had sad sum mean and I regret it every morning

I love both versions. Christopher Cross wrote a beautiful song and this young man has done and excellent remake. 💖
This is my favorite version of the song. I always end up crying.
i love this man's voice. it touches my soul... i have all his album's.. LOVE U AVANT !!!
I agree. By far one of my favorite soul artists. His music syncs with my soul in a deep and indescribable way. I listen to him days and days at a time
When Avant remake a song, he makes it better!
Exactly
yesssss
Very true.
Not that it's "better" but it does the song justice. Nobody better remake it after this
I have to disagree. This version doesn't take me back to my childhood.
Avant nails this remake , 100% does Christopher Cross justice . This song takes me away from my mental health to a better place
Wow....love this just as much as the original....beautiful ❤️
Oh Man, now I just want to jump in my car and drive listening to this song. This is truly magical. Beautiful indeed.
This song soothes me! Repeat like 32 times!
Dang my guy ....sending my prayers to u baby ... My favorite songs by you hands down .... I love u always and forever ❤❤❤❤❤
He isn't dying it was a hoax
I heard I'm praying it's not true n praying for his health and strength
Relaxing and beautiful.
Teresa h Totally agree
Very very very true!
This almost never happens but I have to admit that this is much better than the original.
Yesss
yes it really is
1210Nique true!
to be fair it's not a different arrangement, it's just a new vocal over the top, it's nice but doesn't match Christopher's lazy vocal sound.
Um no
Song is well done. And I like both versions
Sean Nichols me too.
This is beautiful. I've always loved this song.
I honestly don't remember this song being this beautiful. He covers it beautifully...nice song.
Such a wonderful remake, his Harmony and vocals are phenomenal ❤️
This song takes me away...simply beautiful
Best remake i've heard so far,smooth as fuck.
Lashanda Lowery Wow!! Speechless
I have always loved this song, Avant put his own flare to it
Avant took his time with this cover. I love both versions, but this one is the best.
Love this version. should have gotten more radio play.
I'm a month inn since losing a Fiancee decided to revisit this just for the comments! This is our song ALL IM ASKING FOR IS PRAYER 💔💔💔
This is hella dope! He gave it respect. #100
It's a shame avant is real sick right now,let's pray for a talented brother
Love both songs! Hope Avant gets better and lives a long and happy life!
Definitely couldn’t have picked anyone else to to this remake other than Avant. He knocked this out of the park.
Sailing is one of my all time favorite classics from when I was 8 years old . I’m now 50 years old this year .. this a beautiful rendition ❤❤❤
Back again for u Avant. Need to hear this today. Just one of dem days
This is the voice of an angel, super talented Avant!
I like this version of sailing, it is soulful and jazzy!
I just heard this song on the radio a few days ago, and did not know who this beautiful voice belong to. I love the original song, nevertheless this is just so well done that it made me hunt this remake down. I'm young enough to remember when new school R&B use to sound great. I had all but given up on the present day sound. This song is so well done that it gave me a new hope. Congrats Mr Avant on a job well done. You just got a new fan.

My favorite song to listen to when I'm traveling. Awesome remake!
This the type of song that you and that special someone is out on a patio or a veranda in a hammock or an oversized paito chair snuggling in eachother's arms with glass of wine and watching the sun set and no one else matters and its just you and your special someone in the world right then and there. Not to mention this song makes me cry a little. God Bless all.

The best version of the original I've heard, Excellent!!
this song takes me places
Christopher Cross's unique sound is what makes this song untouchable
Indeed.
Agree!
now my one of my favorites. I even created a "friends" playlist. I think it's worth listening to ..... :)
Yeah! But not a bad job, I swear, I was just listening to Christopher's version the other night. makes me think of my childhood, such a great song.
I wholeheartedly agree there is nothing like that original song that takes you back to a special place in time and history.
Ugh. This song just really takes me somewhere else 😭
💞🙏 Beautiful ! My brother would have loved it! May he hear it in Heaven
My first time hearing Avant's version of this song was 2 days and I thought it was new. He sounds amazing! And his rendition of this song is perfect! I don't think anyone could have done such an amazing cover than Avant.♡
Still listening to this in 2014!!!

When im having a bad day i listen to Avant. His voice and songs are always just right..Especially this song. He is a great artist
