Starbuck's Moonlight, Feel's Right

Wow!  Just stumbled across this golden gem:  Starbuck's Moonlight, Feels Right.

Love it:

• smooth groove
• lots of keyboards
• berets
• marimba solo <-- greatest solo EVER!
• slightly sleezy lyrics about midnight connections and cruising under the moon
• uptempo beat w/out being overbearing
• facial hair

This is right in the HEART of Yacht Rock sweet zone!  #winner #bullseye

Seals & Crofts -- Summer Breeze

While they were certainly part of the SoCal scene that birthed many of the greatest Yacht Rock songs, Summer Breeze (despite it subject) is -- in the final analysis -- too wimpy to be considered Yacht.

It suffers from same affliction as Christopher Cross's Sailing -- flaccid beat.
