He says that it was pretty spot on. Which means that he DID kill a lot of Jimmy Buffet fans to free Kenny Loggins. Man's stone cold.

I never appreciated sailing or anything in the sea until Yacht Rock became popular. Now I just want to be on a yacht drinking pina caladas with some good ol Yacht Rock playing in the background. My favorite type of Yacht Rock is the late-70's Country-influenced music and early-80's Soft Rock such as Christopher Cross.

@small_ed 5 лет назад

That's "Cross", and most definitely not to be confused with Kris Kross.

A true musician, kids today are missing out on such excellent musical content. George Michael, Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury, there will never be someone that tops these complete musicians. No auto-tune, producing their own albums, sounding exactly like their studio albums while on stage, and simply pure through and through musical geniuses!

@tinapope1170 Месяц назад

It amazes me that you don't understand how talented you are. I think it was the first time I heard you sing with the Doobie Brothers that I immediately felt your voice was a great contribution to the band. With every new album it just got better. I wasn't a Steely Dan fan until I aquired my Aja CD from my ex and relieved you were singing on it. You've given me and thousands of others a gift we can never repay. Fan for life Tina

If anything, this video just made me love him more than ever!!!!! LOVE that he is not so stuck on himself that he can/refuses to have a sense of humor about the music that made him & others in his genre who they are today.

@JayLeePoe 6 лет назад

That's the grizzled, gentle poppa bear wisdom of a man who can clearly see, that which only a fool believes. Don't save her, she don't want to be saved. Michael McDonald, the a Yacht Rock pimp of relationship wisdom. Reasoning away what a fool believes that he sees. I mean, if you can cipher out that a sentimental fool is trying to make a relationship work with a woman that doesn't even know what love is... underlined by the hint that the fool is scared to be alone. It really is such a smooth jam that it's hard to notice anything except that's soulful and smooth.

I’ll be sitting there playing yacht rock on Alexa and she’s singing songs I’m like Shelby how do you know this song and she’s like mom I’ve been listening to you play this music for years. And let me tell you my 14-year-old daughter really appreciates yacht rock.

@eamonnmorris5331 2 года назад

I first heard the term Yacht Rock a week ago, although it apparently describes the music of an era and of of artists I have long admired and loved - Boz Scaggs, Doobies, Steely Dan, early 80s etc. The term itself is underwhelming though. Sounds kinda like a "Musak" of some kind. In fact, in the sense that it grew up almost side by side with American jazz 'fusion', and was created and played by a lot of players with that background, it is actually streets ahead of 'Musak, or Britpop, or punk/ new wave, or and of the many other 'waves' that have arisen since the 1960s.

@rosered3608 2 года назад

Great observation. I was talking to my husband about this era and the artist. I see it as a lot of the artist write their own songs as-well. Artist like Hall and Oats, Van Morrison etc..grew up in doo wop a Motown ..etc. Unlike the singer songwriters James Taylor and Carole King music that is not Yacht Rock. I think Yacht Rock is a state of mind.

Michael has one of the most distinctive- and best- voices in modern pop/rock. His work with the DB, solo stuff, and background vocals for Kenny Loggins and Steely Dan never goes out of style in my book. He’s the epitome of a yacht rock artist. Seems like a cool guy too.

A lot of those songs are just really really good songs too though… that’s why people are still listening to them and new listeners are like “hey, there something here we should pay attention to”. The funny get them in, but the songwriting and talent keeps them.

@small_ed 5 лет назад

Attention Yacht Rock Radio: A tune containing "boat" in its title is not de facto "yacht rock". "Rock the Boat" by the Hues Corporation is not rock (let alone yacht rock), but rather an overplayed and lousy disco cut that long predates your stipulated "always high seventies to low eighties". Kindly take that one to the can.

@Noobsaibot21 5 лет назад

@@johnnyluna7824 It's broad brushing all right but to be fair, there will be far more memorable stuff from the 70's, 80's and even the 90's than there ever will be today. I mean, look at the noughties to 2010 - I can think of perhaps a few dozen songs that may stand the test of time. And the onesies (almost over at the time of writing - god, I'm getting old).... there's even less. There has not been that many songs that you will sit down and listen to in 2040 and listen to as classics. Most will be simple nostalgia trips or most forgotten altogether.

@MarcosElMalo2 2 года назад

That’s a good term for a lot of the smooth rock of the 70s, but there was a particular strain that formed when certain musicians and music producers began living in Marina Del Rey and the nearby beach communities. They would all congregate at Koko’s Boathouse. It’s Koko’s Boathouse and the Marina that gives yacht rock it’s nautical theme. Do a search on RU-vid for Yacht Rock HD if you’re curious. There’s 12 or 13 short episodes.
