I Can Go for That: The Smooth World of Yacht Rock [part 1] was an excellent and informative documentary presented by Katie Puckrik (haven't seen her for years). As well as explaining its origins in 1970's America, there were plenty of video clips from several artists from that period. Really nostalgic stuff for those of a certain age, although for me personally, there were one or two songs here from the very early 70's that I couldn't remember, but they were great to hear.

Some of the music featured in this episode included 'Hold The Line' (1978 Toto), 'A Horse With No Name' (1971 America), 'Summer Breeze' (1972 Seals & Crofts), 'One Of These Nights' (1975 The Eagles), 'What A Fool Believes' (1978 The Doobie Brothers), 'She's Gone' (1973, re-released 1976 Hall & Oates) and 'Reelin' In The Years' (1972 Steely Dan) - a few others too which escape my memory.

The documentary ended with a short burst of Toto's hit 'Africa' which leads nicely into next week which deals with early 80's yacht rock, and this episode in particular will be of special interest to me. Thanks again to OceanBlue for bringing this series to my attention.
