Free Download Of 'Sailing' Cover By P.J. Pacifico - Christopher Cross Smash Was A Grammy Winner For Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year And Arrangement Of The Year

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Viper Records) Pop/rock singer P.J. Pacifico will offer fans a limited-time free download of his cover of the 1980 smash 'Sailing', by Christopher Cross. The free track is available now via Viper Records (https://www.viperrecords.com/sailing/06_Sailing.mp3,) and is featured on Pacifico's acclaimed new CD, 'Surface'.

'Sailing' was a career-defining #1 hit for Cross --a Grammy Award Winner for Record Of The Year, Song of the Year and Arrangement of the Year, and is credited for helping Cross win the Best New Artist Grammy as well. It was produced by Michael Omartian ('We Are The World',) and appeared on Cross' eponymous debut album.

Pacifico has given the seminal track a modern take…maintaining its essential dreamy quality while infusing it with a subtle darkness, as suggested by some of the lyrics ('it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me').

Over the past two years, P.J. Pacifico has evolved from beloved under-the-radar, CT road warrior to an internationally-respected indie to be reckoned with, praised in such media outlets as M Music & Musicians Magazine, iTunes Editorial, and scores of other print, web and television placements throughout the U.S. Reviewers have repeatedly compared him to Paul Simon, James Taylor, Matthew Sweet and others, while embracing his live performance chops and upbeat, radio-friendly songwriting. With influences including The Smiths, Morrissey and Del Amitri, Pacifico shines on his new album, 'Surface'.
