Jim Keltner was born on this day in 1942. A prolific session drummer, Keltner played drums on Steely Dan’s “Josie”, which included Keltner playing on a garbage can lid. Of the track, Keltner said “the beauty of those guys is that they truly wanted something weird.”
“Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1980. Personnel includes Michael McDonald, Lenny Castro and Michael Omartian. It was the first of four top ten singles for Cross and is essential yacht rock.
Well that would make this the 50th anniversary of yacht rock music. I guess April 25th is yacht rock’s birthday.

“Time Out of Mind” by Steely Dan peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1981. Personnel includes Patti Austin, Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, Michael McDonald, David Sanborn, Rob Mounsey, Rick Marotta, Hugh McCracken and Mark Knopfler.
Everything about this album is incredibly yachty. Playing now
The perfect accompaniment to relaxing, cooking, drinking - pretty much anything
Maxus lead singer Jay Gruska was born on this day in 1952. Maxus only released one album, and it is loaded with yacht rock including “Nobody’s Business”, “Your Imagination” and “Keep a Light On”. Gruska is also aboard the boat as a solo artist with his 1984 single “Cancun”.
Paul Davis was born on this day in 1948 in Meridian, Mississippi. Davis was a successful pop artist who transitioned into country music, and along the way climbed aboard the boat with “Cool Night”, “Let Me Know if it’s Over” and “Do You Believe in Love”. He died April 22, 2008.
Damn, what a song. The weekend has truly begun.
Today in ‘78: the movie “FM” premieres — w/ Steely Dan’s help “We were asked to do the title song," said Fagen. “I said, 'Does it have to have any specific words?' They said, 'No, it just has to be about FM radio.' We wrote it.. in 1 or 2 days” @in_yacht
Soul and R&B singer Luther Vandross was born on this day in 1951. His 1981 single, “Never Too Much”, crossed over into yacht rock. Though it is primarily an R&B song, it is jazzy enough to make it onto the boat. Vandross passed away in 2005. youtu.be/pNj9bXKGOiI?si…
The movie “FM” was released in theaters on this day in 1978. The title theme song, performed by Steely Dan, includes percussion and drums by Jeff Porcaro, Pete Christlieb on tenor sax, and songwriters Fagen and Becker on the remaining instruments. youtu.be/HV3zWSawJiw?si…
Novelist and poet Rikki Ducornet, the inspiration for Steely Dan’s “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, was born on this day in 1943. Ducornet was married to a Bard College professor when Donald Fagen gave her his number at a college party. She lost the number and did not call him.
“Fool in Love with You” by Jim Photoglo made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1981. The song spent 16 weeks on the chart and peaked at #25 on July 4, 1981. It was one of two songs to chart for Photoglo. youtu.be/3s3KXR43rvQ?si…
Michael McDonald was the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” on this day in 1983. It was McDonald’s second appearance on the show. He previously appeared with The Doobie Brothers on an episode that aired January 27, 1979.
Another one that isn’t yacht rock. But it is a supernatural delight
This is not a yacht rock song. But, it’s still a damn good song.
“What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1979. Written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins, it won Grammys for Song of the Year and Record of the Year in 1980. It is the ultimate yacht rock song.

I remember listening to this track 20 times to hear Knopfler's participation. I read later that he was in the studio with the Dan for 20 hours or so, but they only used 15 seconds of his playing in it.

@in_yacht @realDaneDonohue Man, once you posted a tweet about Dane a year ago, I’ve been hooked. Hook, line, and Yachty.
@in_yacht @realDaneDonohue Sooo cool ! Thanks for sharing ! I don’t think I have heard him !! Great sounds
@jimcrocker2 @in_yacht @realDaneDonohue I LOVED reading liner notes of all my albums and looking at the pictures when growing up in the 70's/80's. I did that every day and memorized all of it. The session players, producers, all of it. Such great memories
