Is anyone into Yacht Rock?

[ruxCYtable]

Some friends took us to see Yacht Rock Revue in Denver last year and now we are hooked. We're seeing them three more times this year. Not only is great music and a great band, but it's a great party! Anyway, I decided rather than dressing up like a captain like everyone else does, I'm going as Spaulding from Caddyshack at Smails's yacht club party. Just had this shirt printed up. I've got the whole rest of his getup as well. Bermuda shorts, long socks, boat shoes and bucket hat.

The Yacht Rock documentary on HBO was pretty good. Had no idea the history on how the genre was named retroactively.

It is just about the only station I play on Sirius/XM anymore. Takes me back to standing on Mom's lap and "steering" the car on our way to Grandma's house in the mid 70's. Window open just a crack, cigarette in moms hand, AC blasting, no seatbelt, around 65mph. The most stereotypical Saturday morning road trips you can image. Its a wonder we all survived.

I enjoy Yacht Rock. At the same time, I love that Donald Fagen hates it. The end of that documentary is hilarious

Didn't even know what it was, but looked at a top 100 on Spotify, and there are a lot of songs I like on there (when I'm in the mood for that kind of music, which isn't often).

I was just watching a video about the most successful yacht rock singer that no one has ever heard of, even though you've heard a lot of his songs. He was featured on the Professor of Rock, I believe. He had 8 hits in the 70s and 80s, but I'd never heard of him before I watched that video, probably because he didn't like touring and rarely performed anywhere but in the studio.

Some of you may have heard of Paul Davis, but he was new to me, even though I know a lot of his songs. According to the video I watched, he was more of a songwriter and preferred that to actually performing, but he had a voice for singing yacht rock, which wasn't called that back then.

Some of his hits included Cool Night, I Go Crazy, Sweet Life and 65 Love Affair. He also crossed over into country and had two hits as a guest vocalist on songs by Marie Osmond and Tanya Tucker. His biggest hit, country or rock, reaching No. 4 in the U.S. in the adult contemporary category, was Ride 'Em Cowboy, which I'd never heard of before.

I go through phases where I get real deep down the Yacht Rock wormhole. Seems like whenever I hear "Give Me the Night" by George Benson, I get sucked back in. SXM had an awesome Yacht Rock station they pulled for some reason. Man, that would always put me in a good mood heading into work.

Yeah man, one of the interesting things about the genre is a lot of the people were studio musicians and they all ended up playing on many, many records with many different artists.
