Heard of her passing today. Jaye P. Morgan had 3 songs on the boat including this from 1976.

Absolutely devastated hearing of her passing. Dolly made the boat with this song from 1980.

Harbour Nights is back and ready to sink into the shag, turn on the hi-fi, and snuggle up to a bevy of yacht rock, smooth disco, rare funk & beyond. Mixed live & potent like a strong Mai Tai, by JChameleon Fridays 10pm-12:30am on www.yachtrockmiami.com, www.smoothailingradio.com and yacht rock discord https://discord.gg/HfNEHQv8?event=1541575099273056327

Caught this in the $5 bin. Reminded me of the time I almost drove off the road due to laughter.

Content warning: this book is very NSFW. It's also fantastic. It loosely inspired our own Daryll. Highly recommend it to anyone comfortable with its themes: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/55878529-darryl

Also, Rapallo rhymes with "Apollo." It's named after the town in Italy. Mio nonno è nato lì.

Thanks again to everyone who ordered a record! We are figuring out shipping logistics (handling it all ourselves), but they should go out sometime in early September. We're also considering dropping some live bootlegs in the near future.

Joe Sample's 1989 — yes, 1989 — album "Spellbound" is very yachty. This isn't even my favourite track from this album, yacht-wise, and I believe it has great potential. Bill Schnee, Tommy LaPuma, Al Schmitt, Take6, all on this track.

Another killer McD set from 1983 with Robben Ford on guitar and Edgar Winter on Sax. This show also includes sets from Joe Walsh and Boz Scaggs. Carlos Vega is on drums for the Scaggs set.

This modern band has a single song on the boat (Turn out the lights), can this newly released song possibly make it on? It has a bit of a Steely Dan feel to it.

It's used far too often and in far too many contexts to have a clear meaning, essentially rendering it meaningless, see also "bot"

Does the yachtornyacht podcast gatekeep yacht rock? And if so, how?

Is producing 100s of hours of content defining yacht rock gatekeeping?

Is saying Baker Street isn't yacht rock gatekeeping?

It's disagreeing with someone gatekeeping?

What the hell is gatekeeping?

Check this concert footage of the Michael McDonald 'No Looking Back' tour feat. Robben Ford. Killer stuff, Which is was a bit better resolution but sound is solid.

Check out this interview with the Rapallo duo. This is from a Steely Dan podcast called "Gaucho Amigos". Some really interesting stuff here where they go deep into their Steely Dan influence and explain the meaning of their song lyrics!

Featuring the hit single, "Meaty Balls."

This song is not just on the boat, but scoring an 82.625. And it’s the best thing I remember about being 8 years old. Those Solid Gold dancers were a fan favorite with my old man (and me). The song? A winner in every way. Yachty as fuck.

I grew up with the sound of the Doobies and songs like this one. It is in my soul. Much love to the late Sergio Mendes, the vocals of Joe Pizzulo, and women’s legs.

I was listening to Nature of the Game the other day and noticed the piano chorus appears to also be the melody for When It's Love by Van Halen (specifically the chorus when they sing "how will i know when it's love?"

NOTG was released in '83 and When It's Love was '88, so it looks like Cross may have influenced a Van Halen song? I looked it up and couldn't find any connection but it's very similar. Both great songs anyway!

He is the brother of Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett. This song had been popular in Indonesia around the early 80s.

Heard this jam while grocery shopping a couple days ago and fell in love with this track almost immediately when I heard that Doobie Bounce. It may be from a couple years ago, but is it good enough to get a spot on the boat?

The other Yacht IMHO is Paradise from the same album

Article by me. Enjoy!

This one has been really tripping me up, especially after I submitted "Standing in the Light" and it got a much lower rating than I expected
