An FMQB Top 20 Adult Contemporary hit, “Sail Into The Sun” presents a melodic and dramatic composition in a tropical style that speaks of endless time and enduring love. The song was originally engineered by Mark Greenhouse, then re-engineered and mixed by the legendary Tom Dowd and mastered by Mike Fuller at Fuller Sound. It was co-produced by Richard Warren Rappaport and Howard J. Wiener and is on ATNYL / A Top New York Label. Richard Warren Rappaport is a BMI artist.
