    As Donna Summer was the Queen of Disco, Sade was/is the Queen of Yacht Rock.

    Yacht Rock

    I haven’t heard that one before! 😆

    This is all just my take, there’s other opinions, but…

    Yacht Rock, imo, began with Brasil ’66:

    The genre was further legitimized by whom I consider the King of Yacht Rock, Kenny Rankin:

    after that, the form went pop with Kenny Logins, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, and others. It seemed to getting back on it’s feet with Christopher Cross, but he ran out of smooth.

    Sade expertly reinvigorated the genre.

    Then it kind of passed into the sunset, along with Sade. She’s back, but it’s not quite the same.

    Millenials don’t really make Yacht Rock. Everyone with yachts must content themselves with the classics, which still hold up today.

    And now you know the rest… of the story.
