Sorry for the low volume, I was feeling very smooth. "Is that Yacht Rock? Turn it up dude."
Welcome to week 113 of the Seasons of the Ukulele, Yacht Rock!
From 1976 to 1984 the radio airwaves were dominated by really smooth music, also known as "Yacht Rock." These Yacht Rockers docked a remarkable fleet of number one hits.
Here's a few links that will provide some ideas for some great Yacht Rock.

If you're not sure if your song idea qualifies as Yacht Rock then ask yourself a few questions. Is it smooth? Is it a little cheesy? Is it AM Gold? These should help. But, if you're still not sure then check the links or you can PM me. I'm pretty lax on my themes, what's important is to have fun.
Here's a list of some popular Yacht Rockers
Kenny Loggins
Michael McDonald
The Doobie Brothers
Hall & Oats
Rupert Holmes
Al Stewart
The Commodores
Christopher Cross
Toto
Chicago
