    Turned 16 in '76, was visiting SoCal from my small hometown of Astoria, Oregon, driving on PCH with the top down of my then gfs MG and this song came on when we looked at each other laughing "wow, this song was PERFECTION" it took a week to find an unsold copy to record onto a cassetted. I got home 3 months later and it was all over the AM and FM stations. Summer of 76 was something everyone should experience in their life...to die happy no matter what.

    This superb pop song perfectly encapsulates the sound of the summer of '76. It truly captures the feel of a trip beside the ocean. I also love the way the lyrical rhyming scheme follows the A-B-A-B pattern, where first and third lines rhyme, as well as the second and fourth. You don't get that very often in pop music. (The tune reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.)

      Not sure how many might be aware but Louis Johnson also played bass on Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)." This was with McDonald on vocals/keyboards, Toto's Steve Lukather on lead guitar, Toto's Jeff Porcaro on drums and Greg Phillinganes (Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson) on clavinet (the awesome keyboard sounding instrument that may be most well known in Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"). Furthermore, Lukather, Porcaro, Phillinganes, and Johnson would also all play on multiple tracks of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album (produced by Quincy Jones, who was associated with The Brothers Johnson) at around the same time as working with Michael McDonald. Talk about an absolute "best of the best" support band. Every player was a total all-star and it still shows today in all that music. 😁

      The Grass Roots never seemed to get their due outside of the time that the group was putting out hits. My dad was a big fan and that's how I was exposed to the group's music back in the early 1980s.
      Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)," The Doobie Brothers' "What A Fool Believes," and many of the early to mid 1980s hits by Christopher Cross are pretty significant "Yacht Rock" songs that the guys haven't got to yet on the channel as well. To a large degree, the guys have just "scratched" the musical water's surface when it comes to "Yacht Rock." 😂

    Wow..... I was camping on Assateague Island when this song dropped. And it turned out to be so prophetic. Met the girl of my dreams amongst the sand dunes. 😃

    Just an incredible tune that was so creative. Especially for its time. This is near the top of my Yacht Rock playlist. The subtle bassline is underrated and really ties the song together.

    The part that really hit was his voice - smooth & sexy & then the lyrics. You can't get better "lines" than you can find with this poetic version - & the good part is that he is warning her of EXACTLY what his intensions are - & how it will be delivered - in a sailboat at night with the moon shining down. It is up to her to decide if she is interested (at all - she doesn't have to go for all that he is hoping. Just let him know that he may be on the right track if he keeps it up.) As you said "it's fire."

    Bruce Blackman, writer and lead singer of this song, has a video that explains how he came up with the lyrics and all the ins and outs of this recording. It is fabulous info.

    The live version is spot on also. The keyboard player looks like my old bookie, the marimba player is classic long haired , unbuttoned vest wearing hairy chested 70s, style. This came out in my senior year of HS, it was one of the fun summer songs that looking back now portrays in your mind a fantastic memory of the times.

    Please don't stop the marathon, all your reactions to these songs have been wonderful and you've barely scratched the surface. Here's a suggestion for your next song - I'm On Fire by the Dwight Twilley Band.

    Found you guys, recently. Enjoy your presentation and camaraderie, as a team. Two quick comments: 1- our could not have started the marathon any better, than with Donnie Iris and Ah Leah! 2- Loving the Cincinnati Reds shirt!

    I was thinking after the second verse: If the guys think this is fire so far, can't wait to see how much they like the marimba solo!
    You did not disappoint.😊

    This is one of the absolute premier songs of the 70's. That xylophone solo is the core of that action. Love it and your reaction.

  • @mikebozik
    @mikebozik 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Yeah! I know you guys would love it. This is on my main playlist. This song was used during an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man... Which I was addicted to when I was young.😊 HE WAS RUNNING IN SLOW MOTION.

    I love this song. I was just listening to it last week. Windows down and sunroof wide open. I just listened to him talking about how he came up with the lyrics, the arrangement as well as programming the Moog.
    They tried to make them take the marimba solo out. Bruce Blackman put his musical foot down.

    This reminds me of the summer of my Junior Year, it played all the time on FM radio, WNAP and WFBQ. We were always outside traveling around playing softball games and this song was at its peak of popularity.

    This was a kinna like my own little secret song. My rocker friends, Ya know Floyd, Zeppelin, Rush lovers, would give me such a hard time for listening to this. I'm wondering now if they were secretly listening too! What a fun song.
    Great to see you Ty! Love y'all ❤

    So many great wonderful one-hit wonders. Not just the 70s, but 80s and 90s. You could just keep this going indefinitely. I've really enjoyed it.
