"Cruise" by David Gilmour

Guitar God David Gilmour of Pink Floyd released his second solo album in 1984 entitled, "About Face." The album gave Gilmour his one and only charting song, "Blue Light." You can hear Gilmour's trademark guitar in this tune, but the horns sound like they were borrowed from the Phil Collins song, "Sussudio." 

Pete Townshend (The Who) lended his songwriting chops to two tracks on this record, "Love On The Air" and the feisty "All Lovers Are Deranged."

"Cruise" is one of the best acoustic-driven ballads in Gilmour's extensive catalogue and still sounds great after all these years.
