Yacht Rock on Vinyl Records with Z-Bear (Part 1)

[@markantoniogrant368]

I'm a Boomer, born in 1954. This music is the soundtrack of my life. Thank you!!!!!!

[@williamblain3969]

Born in 55. I know exactly what you mean. I listen to Z-Bear's Yacht Rock over and over.

[@joefox9765]

you're welcome. Glad you're not on drugs!

[@jessicam1878]

Me too !! 1953

[@JoeSchmo-u1d]

Me too!

[@alayneputnam4554]

Best channel everrrrrrr!!😀😀😀😀😀

[@hklinker]

I love that Pete Townshend gets a spot on the yacht.

[@VillaVybes]

Absolutely! Even those British Rockers can loosen up and put on a swimsuit every so often 😂

[@phillipmiller1008]

A Trivial FACT : By putting THIS MUSIC in the Workplace and keeping it playing in the background, you will Increase Production and Sales, and believe it or not You will see a decrease in lost hours due to Illness and Injury in the workplace... It produces an Increase in Creativity and the absorption of information and Comprehension..... It just makes you feel good 👍👍👍

[@immaculateheart1267]

I believe that

[@bestbiker2]

dont ruin this great music with jibber jabber of the work place... if you tell my employer about this, we are going to have words..... I actually feel less productive as I listen to this while I am working from home and smoking that herb... puts me at peace, then asleep... makes the work day go by faster when you sleep thru 4 hours of it....

[@Neverforget71324]

I play it on my headset at work.

[@LeoScheller]

Love jamming to these classic tunes with my co-worker buds! When I hear the velvety smooth voice of Loggins and Phil all the stressors just melt away. I’m 29 years old, live in Zootown USA. Keep it rockin y’all

[@js1642]

Vinyl, the way Yacht rock was intended to be heard. Thanks!

[@VillaVybes]

Indeed! Mahalo for watching and commenting. Have an awesome weekend!

[@bradharshman5782]

Was born in 84, grew up with this music, thanks for the memories!!

[@OneMinuteXperiment]

70s music - mtv just started -

[@MrMenefrego1]

I am a Boomer, and I love this channel! These remarkable old tunes bring back so many diverse memories I go from smiling to having my old eyes well up with tears from those fond and not-so-fond recollections. The 1970s were meaningful to all of us old Boomers ... most of us were just going out on our first dates in the 60s and 70, and many of these songs were what we heard on those first dates. I miss those days! So, here's to all of my Boomer Brothers and Sisters, God Bless and be with you all in our much-maligned and misunderstood generation! (EDIT, New Sub here from The Netherlands!)

[@frankrothiz4u]

I hope that playing this incredible music brings you as much joy as you bring to us listeners. Thank you for your work and for your time !

[@ericfromkokomo]

agreed

[@VillaVybes]

Aloha Frank ~ indeed music brings me (us) joy. We are firm believers that everyone deserves music and more joy in their lives. Truth! Mahalo for your kind words 😊🎶🤙🏽💃🏽

[@Hotspace5170]

Just discovered/found this channel. It’s almost 4am here in nyc. Been in and out this channel since yesterday. This is amazing cool and very much needed vibes in 2024. Before cell phones, before MTV (back when MTV actually played music videos) and radio has playing hits and someone else’s favorite song. You had to have a great voice and stage presentation and musicians who played instruments. As a person listened to the radio and brought vinyl albums and 45’s singles, sometimes you discovered a hidden treasure on the flip side on the 45 single. Thank you for this channel and you super chill music and vibes.

[@joelderr329]

I spent a day (OK an hour, lol) in a airport bar at LAX talking with Al Stewart, Year of the Cat. Nice as can be, he has great stories!

[@VillaVybes]

That's so cool! Al was quite the significant artist in the 70s even though he is not as known by younger audiences today.

[@ChristianPedersen-c2o]

GEN X here, this music is so great!!. Reminds me sitting in my dads office when he would write out menu's for his restaurants for the week(my family was in the restaurant business 40 years) and dad would be on his 2nd pack of Kents for the day. I would give anything for that moment back....

[@DavidRose-gv7hi]

Z-Bear, you rock!

[@jennb7132]

I’m Gen X and this is the music of my childhood that I remember my parents listening to. Thank you for the wonderful memories

[@ryanoc333]

Same here. I feel like it's been etched into my brain!

[@immaculateheart1267]

Why did you stop listening to this? Ive been to rocking my easy 70s and 80s playlist for decades.

[@mrinvader]

always played in the bathroom when family was in the shower in the morning...

[@genemcn3579]

[@CoondawgPD]

You’re collection of the greatest 70’s/80’s vinyl earned you a sub

[@ceciliahamill6353]

I love Z-bear! Gr8 tunes. Chill. Sensational Seventies - getting me through smokey days

[@VillaVybes]

What a lovely comment. Mahalo, Cecilia. I got you girl!

[@adambarker779]

Smooth - so good - so rad as we said in the day 👌

[@VillaVybes]

Mahalo, Adam! You are rad too for watching and commenting!

[@brkitdwn]

I grew up in the 70s. 80s, and i love the 70s sound. The 80s not so much. It changed in a glossy way

[@Duane-n8b]

The finest music collection ever!

[@penelopek2995]

Road trip from Seattle to Tucson and these collections made the trip a breeze! Great memories and a few I hadn't heard in years!

[@VillaVybes]

What a compliment to be chosen as your source for road tunes! We appreciate you!

[@pedrojcolonallende3768]

Good now buy a dozen of beers place them on ice and hit to Saguaro National Park north hills and keep playing her channel and listening washing the sun goes down and coyotes and rabbits running in the desert in from of you. When you return home in late afternoon you will exclaim Thanks God for let me live this marvelous day.😊

[@MrLittlebuddy]

Al Stewart and his music just make the world a better place.

[@catrinahartz944]

Wish I found this 2 yrs ago!❤

[@eduardogonzalez6095]

Great music, great memories,good feelings, happy moments.

[@charlesheim8290]

I grew up in the 70's with the best music ever produced, The American Top 40. Thank you so much for bringing it back. I found your page a few days ago. I listen to it every morning setting up at work. Again, thank you.

[@jamesfairfield3593]

Really enjoying the Ambrosia in this mix.🌴🐊🦎🌞

[@pedrojcolonallende3768]

I will like to see better details of her face. Only seeing is part of her body the hair and all the untied dresses😂❤ her selection of songs and records is great.

[@kevinbenson3809]

All of your yacht rock compilations are a wonderful trip down memory lane! I just drove from South Carolina to Colorado and back and had your videos streaming on my radio. Great way to pass the time. Keep on spinning!

[@VillaVybes]

Oh man such a great compliment to have us be the soundtrack to your road trip. Mahalo for listening and commenting. We appreciate you, Kevin!

[@pedrojcolonallende3768]

Yeah and she keep sailing the music way beautifully and making us old folks very happy especially early morning and the afternoons when the sun starts going down and we meet to drink a little out the homes at porches of stores corners to drink and talk a little. ❤

[@ashleydowney1222]

I am a millenial(Almost 31 years old in 2 weeks from today.) But I love this playlist. Reminds me of the music my mom played on her record player when I was growing up. And the music she played on road trips. I have vivid memories of first hearing "Kiss on My List" in the eighth grade on a road trip to Virginia. My mom had a massive stroke on September 27, 2020 and can no longer drive. But she listens to this type of music. We currently live 6 1/2 hours from each other. But this playlist makes me feel just a little bit closer to her.

[@VillaVybes]

Aloha. We are so sorry to hear of your mom's health challenges; we hope she can enjoy the music mixes too as we all know music is comforting and healing. Your kind words mean so much. Mahalo for sharing.

[@jennb7132]

So happy to know a millennial appreciates this music too

[@ElizabethAtwell-e6m]

I LOVE this DJ!!! I'm sitting down to work and I always pick Yacht Rock, cuz I'm a 70's girl!!! DJ has a great list and I love watching her dance! I say dance more!!!! Best playlist IMO of Yacht Rock!!! Others have such sappy music!!!

[@fredthornley4425]

All I can say is STELLAR with this playlist!

[@VillaVybes]

Mahalo, Fred! We appreciate you.

[@kennothe349]

All the songs you're playing are good, but Nicolette's "Lotta Love", is still one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@pamelalever4030]

I'd Really Love to See You Tonight is my #1 song - thanks for adding it.

[@VillaVybes]

You're very welcome! Thank you for loving that song as much as we do. England Dan & John Ford Coley are so unappreciated as writers and musicians. Their arrangements, playing, production and writing were all extraordinary. Mahalo for watching and commenting!

[@brianmorrison7542]

That song lets me believe love is still possible

[@dastardlyman]

this whole yacht rock thing is wonderful. im in the uk and solar radio - introduced me to the concept. now all we need is summertime and a yacht.

[@dastardlyman]

Z-Bear has nailed it. this is the best ever

[@VillaVybes]

Sending you sunshine vybes from the islands to the UK!

[@gmjunkyard3403]

So nice to hear really good music selected and played by a professional DJ........nice....very nice.

[@mnikolov11]

I grew a mullet and a stache just listening to this. Then I put on my aviators, went and bought a silver 1980 T-Top 'Vette.

[@VillaVybes]

Omg! We are literally laughing our a--es off here at the villa! Mahalo for bringing enjoy joy to our day.

[@djswishersweethoustontx4352]

No you didn't..

[@theartistmind7028]

🤣

[@melodymccullough5262]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR COMMENT! 🤣

[@pedh6806]

Lol! Cool as....

[@davidclearwater4646]

Z-Bear is the best, mahalo for the many different genres and hours of listing pleasure.

[@elizabethmoody8362]

AWESOME!! I LOVE YOU, GREAT TUNES. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU LIFT UP MY DAY EVERYDAY.

[@ronnieskidmore2582]

So happy you have brought this music now when everyone needs it your beautiful thank you

[@VillaVybes]

Mahalo for watching and for your lovely comments!

[@michaelkruse1048]

Großartige Zusammenstellung - perfekt. Danke dafür ! Die besten Songs....

[@immaculateheart1267]

Heard about yacht rock a couple years ago but tbh I never stopped listening to this music. I think it's kinda funny that people are saying "I haven't heard these songs in years'. I just assumed all GenXers ( like me) & even boomers were rocking their classic rock and easy 70s, 80s playlists all these years. Some of these tracks are not on my playlists but many are. That being said, with the exception of a few handful of songs that I didn't like then or now, the majority of these yacht playlists are stellar. Well done!!

[@DebbieElford]

great music, thank you

[@StevenDoering-q2x]

Been a long time since I heard "Crazy Love" by Poco. Thanks for helping me to remember....

[@KellyStevenson1968]

I was born in the late 60's so grew up with all of this music. You've done an amazing job putting together these compilations - one of the best I've come across!! Your energy is definitely genuine and brings such an awesome vibe to these memorable tunes. Much love and gratitude and peace to you 💫

[@VillaVybes]

Aloha Kelly. Mahalo for your beautiful comment. Indeed, I do enjoy the compilations and it is with great care we choose each song for every playlist. 🎶💃🏽🤙🏽

[@lillianbrown1645]

Thanks for making my life a bit more joy-full!!!😀

[@butchk09]

Hi Z-Bear. Watching you getting the songs set on the platters and seeing how much you love what you are doing is great. You are a delight to watch and of course your song choices are fabulous. Hope my wife and I get back to Hawaii sometime in the near future. Take care and keep the music playing. Aloha

[@SiestaCam]

So so great. Thank you.

[@roberth2227]

Great selection. Thanks to that cutie for putting this list together!

[@HAGGETTDAVE]

First time listener. Lovin it.

[@Jungletrump]

oh my...I have not heard Cliff Richard's Dreamin in forever! Love it!

[@VillaVybes]

Such a great song. What's so interesting is that while he is an absolute legend in the UK, Cliff Richard has been almost completely forgotten in the US.

[@Kevs442]

I'd never heard it before and I had to go looking for it because there is no play list. Good song!

[@meiermichael3003]

Thank you very much !!! - yesterday I found your Yacht Rock Compilations - and all on vinyl - this is absolutely awesome !!! - I really like this sound - also I often listen to Classicrock Music - I hope you keep on Rockin' !!!

[@jromeo8247]

This is nothing short of awesome. Thank you ❤ for this Playlist ❤️

[@maryanilowcadiz9036]

Thank you for providing these sounds, so impressive with the vinyl collection! My kids now are learning these wonderful songs! Thank you Z bear!

[@bobbyw1510]

Very 😎 cool! Nice sound and great detail from vinyl....great memories of a wonderful youth when I hear these magical tunes....Ty! Nice job!

[@mariol9574]

Best songs

[@haroldandersen665]

I have discovered that this music releases endorphins in my brain and produces a peace that is hard to find in this world. Thank you. Keep up the great work. Dr. A.

[@davidb.8948]

Great mix, and nice setup!

[@DonLovelace]

This is one of the better Yacht Rock listens. Great Job.

[@fcelaya8477]

Ayyyyy Caramba!!! you move my mind direct to mi childhood........

[@joesteedman8230]

I’m sitting on the beach in Delaware right now.loving every moment of this beautiful music.

[@christophermclean3921]

Digging it! ❤

[@billbogardus9181]

love vinyl awesome job

[@irishjack3735]

Exactly what I needed this morning. Mahalo!

[@screwballsquirrel4473]

I can watch her dance all day

[@philaman1972]

Great stuff. This was during an era when music was at a crossroads (late 70s-early 80s); disco was fading away and mainstream musicians were putting out soft rock/pop ballads. At the same time, New Wave was also on the scene and even country music was on top 40 radio.

[@VillaVybes]

Great description of this era! It was an amazing time. At no other period in pop music history could you hear artists as diverse as Kiss, Juice Newton and Earth, Wind & Fire all played within a half hour on the same radio station.

[@susiefairfield7218]

The Fleetwood Mac has got me over my head.😊

[@janetcossio1306]

Amazing memories... You picked the best jams!!!! You go girl! Love this..... :)

[@VillaVybes]

Mahalo for joining the voyage, Janet!

[@lisadaugherty7928]

This is my first listening to your spins~ Fine job. Thank you for being perfectly on point. I will find more.

[@VillaVybes]

Welcome to the channel, Lisa! We appreciate you listening.

[@timg2050]

Please do more! You are what we need! Thanks so much!

[@TeAcecho]

Gen X here. This list bring me so many memories that the only thing I can do is stay quiet and smile 🙂👍

[@TroyHoward-id6wx]

Indeed you are so right sir... 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤... wishing you well my friend... (God)bless...

[@debrajohnson3467]

Troooyyyyyyy

[@juliecomer9468]

Love all your mixes for yacht rock! Makes me feel old, but, still love all these oldies...especially Nicollete's Lotta Love!

[@ClayLyon-xu7yw]

At first I didn’t know what yacht rock was but now I do and I love it. I am 69 born in 55 the 3 bears have taken me through the 50s, 60s, and now the 70s and I’m not through by any means. There are many things that I want to see and hear and I want to hear them right here

[@kittawa]

What an excellent mix! Your mellow and genuine vibe is exactly what I needed today. And I see that you have more videos, truly a great find. Thank you!

[@VillaVybes]

Brightening someone's day is what drives us to do what we do. Thank you so much for watching!

[@jessicabarone6729]

We agree! Even the pops & clicks are part of the experience that makes listening to vinyl so unique.

[@ceeem5720]

OMG! I can't believe I just found this 😓 I 💙💙💙this!! TY for the amazing mix!!

Dear Z-Bear. Really enjoy your show, the music, the vibes and that Mona Lisa smile. Keep happy and know you're doing good work. Best TC

[@SubiLifeCo]

Your an Amazing DJ- Awesome song selection. Thanks for sharing.

[@qtrhors1]

Was in Jr high and high school in the 70's(class of 78). This is the soft rock tunes of that time. What a time it was.

[@JoeSchmo-u1d]

I'm a professional bassist/vocalist, and when I play and sing along with the songs you play, it helps me keep my chops up, so thank you!

[@KeylargoVideo]

It's like I put this together! Thank you!!

[@VillaVybes]

Aloha from The Villa. Mahalo for watching and for being on our same wavelength!

[@stevefanelli2755]

Time is speeding up, Were going to be in the 70s soon.. watch!!!!

[@erictanty7227]

I love this playlist. It takes me back to the 90's when I was an investment broker in New York. We used to take my yacht to Fire Island and drink Moet from morning til evening, listening to these tunes. I was on top of the world-everything I did turned into gold. Unfortunately I lost it all in a currency deal involving the Thai Baht. Options trading...as one would. Anyway, I still have the memories....

[@simflier8298]

Born in 1970, right on...RIGHT ON!!😄

[@earl9000]

❤ I can't stop 😢 thank you so very much ❤️ thanxox❤

[@lisasaunders3049]

Ambrosia! Yes, the epitome of yacht rock, but I could go on and on. Great play list! Love, love! Keep on groovin Z-Bear!

[@eliyahum4285]

Thank you so much!!

[@RobeySetzer]

I grew up in the 70's listening to this music on an old transistor radio and OMG!, this brings back so many good memories. Thank you so much, you are nothing short of amazing.

[@GR8SCOT22]

Fantastic playlist and a great job of presentation. I enjoyed the hour break from reality very much as your playlist took me back to a happier time in my life and I appreciate it. I had most of this list on 8-track back in the day and appreciate all the care and effort you put into bringing back to us!

[@timothysemple4740]

I am so glad I found this, Thanks

[@VillaVybes]

We're glad too. Mahalo for watching and being a part of our vinyl community!
