Haitian hurt is a real thing! Haitian dad & Jamaican/American mom. From childhood I’ve ALWAYS heard I’m not Haitian, I’m the American in the family & they treated me different. When I speak it they would make fun of me etc. what really helped me overcome is meeting older Haitians in the world they say my creole is perfectly fine and encourage me to big up the culture…For year I wouldnt claim it simply because they were so mean to me but like Jessie said. Haitian is in ur blood & im actually very Haitian 😂 they’ll just never know

[@Rainbowfinch-vp4lw]

Yacht Rock was the name that a certain population later coined it. It has been longest term Blue Eyed Soul….white artists with natural soul. I loved the documentary.

[@ItsDeniseRenee]

@@shameitran.greenlmft228 Yes! I never heard of yacht rock before but I’ve always heard of Blue Eyed Soul! Those songs are always played on Smooth Jazz stations.

I just love when you cover song! Your range is incredible. 10 10 10 across the board 🔥👏🏾

[@snowym7188]

right 😃

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I Keep Forgetting by Michael McDonald was released in 1982 and Warren G released Regulate in 1994, that's only 12 years. We didn't call it Yacht Rock back then. Music from performers like Michael McDonald, Hall & Oates, Bobby Cauldwell, Simply Red, Paul Young, and more, were identified as "Blue Eyed Soul". The eighties was called the "MTV Generation" and we lived for music videos so we definitely knew what most of these guys looked like b/c most of these songs were released in that era! There was no genre called yacht rock in the eighties and I feel that name demeans and diminishes their contribution to music. It was just Pop music and we were more diverse back then with our music taste. Being a black teen in the eighties I listened to everything but nowadays most people don't and that is very sad.

[@bayareacutiepie]

Right! Yacht Rock is a recent renaming of the "Easy Listening"/"Pop" era of the late 70's early 80's. Hall and Oates and Kenny Loggins were my favorites.

[@princess876]

So true, I grew up listening to all types of music because of my mom. She was a child of the 70s & 80s. My favorite movie was Footloose 😂 and Grease! I was born in 91, btw lol

[@shameitran.greenlmft228]

I just read your comment after I posted mine and so glad you responded with Blue Eyed Soul as well. I grew up on this music due to my Dad and it was always referenced as Blue Eyed soul which is often different than soft rock. Not all rock ballads, considered Soft Rock, were in the soulful category as Blue Eyed Soul. To me Yacht Rock is similar to the term Twerk…..movement was happening well before some newer age term came along to coin it LATE.

[@taheeshab.4208]

It was definitely known to me as Blue Eyed Soul music.

16:32 Human Nature is one of my favorite songs. I tend to sing it at random moments… Yacht Rock is a HANDS DOWN unmatched genre.

[@MissPrissWorld]

Do yourself a favor and deep dive into Toto’s first 2-3 albums when Bobby Kimball was the lead singer. He is definitely Pentecostal from Louisiana and it SHOWS. He’s my favorite sangin azz white man. Waiting for Your Love is criminally underrated. Toto was the backing band for the Thriller album and Human Nature was written by their keyboardist Dave Pocaro.

When you said a Black man ended the genre, I immediately knew it was Michael Jackson, and yes Human Nature and Thriller videos killed it.

[@twinsmom8]

You forgot several Yacht Rock artists of the 70's & 80's. I was a teenager in the late 70's/early 80's and we loved us some Hall and Oates, Boz Scaggs, Player, Foreigner, Rick Astley, The Bee Gees, Steely Dan, Boy George & Cultural Club, the Average White Band, Foxy, Michael Bolten, The Doobie Brothers (where Michael McDonald started his career), and George Michael. And these are only the male artists. There were a lot of white women doing their thing as well. 😍
