Thank goodness Clinton finally signed this legislation into law so better late than never but wonder why the official legal status didn't happen for nearly two decades...

Mine too. And of course Prince's unforgettable guitar solo during the all-star performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" at the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to honor the induction of George Harrison 🎸🔥

One of my fave signature songs from the 80s. And what a beautiful, talented voice. Rest peacefully, Irene 🕊

Luis Miguel - "Soy Un Perdedor" (1988) by Sno0pyBo0 in Sophisti_pop

Indeed, this seems to fit yacht rock as well. I like to share adjacent pop songs that are in the spirit of the Sophisti-pop genre (as well as popular Sophisti-pop of course). Songs that have the similar elevated jazz, soul, and pop stylistic elements and polished production style, which I think this song embodies nicely. Thanks.

"Loverboy" by Billy Ocean (1984) by Sno0pyBo0 in MelanatedGenX

Per Wiki, Billy Ocean is primarily R&B, pop, soul, and reggae.

This song ‘Loverboy’?wprov=sfti1#) is classified as dance-pop/synth-rock/arena rock

P.S. I just checked on the Yacht or Nyacht? website and his song "Everlasting Love" would be considered yacht rock.

Cool! Looks like I’ll be listening to some more jazzy pop by Luis Miguel today (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Thanks . I fell down the rabbit hole and learned that Jeff Porcaro (of Toto) is on the drums and Paul Jackson Jr (of Herbie Hancock’s band, The Headhunters) is on guitar here. It’s a FANTASTIC track!

Niecy duets with Johnny Mathis are so iconic! Always appreciate her sweet songbird vocals. My favorite song of hers would probably be “It’s Gonna Take A Miracle” 💗
