Yacht Rock Favorites

[JMarquette]

@Gerry Hamilton started this up on this morning’s C&F, so I want to keep it going. Everyone drop your favorite YR songs, here are some of mine

 

-Back in the High Life Again - Steve Winwood

- What a Fool Believes - The Doobie Brothers

-Dirty Work - Steely Dan

-Steal Away - Robbie Dupree

I’m omitting my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs since, as a Parrothead, we could start another thread.

Not a particular song or group but instead a YouTube channel that features Yacht Rock DJ’ed by Z-Bear.

Never heard the term “Yacht Rock” until today.

I liked the Yacht Rock channel on XM until I realized their playlist is about 15 songs.

If we win the natty, I would like @Gerry Hamilton to do a rendition of what a fool believes doing his best Michael  McDonald impression.

This was never my favorite genre of music but since he's from Texas and was living in Austin playing frat gigs and covers when he recorded this Grammy winning song at an Austin studio let's give it up for Christopher Cross.  This was back in the late 70's when I was on campus.  The album also featured "Ride Like the Wind" which hit # 2 on the Top 100.  I think he won 5 Grammys that year.

I had a 14' Hobie Cat in those days and every time this song comes on the radio (rarely now) I think of those days sailing on the Austin area lakes.
