I find this song hypnotic and soothing, but I can see how it could come off as schmaltzy.
Boring song from a wimpy artist. Yet this won three Grammy Awards in 1980. Go figure.
shareI own the album it is on (his self-titled debut album) and like it more than a little bit. The other hit song on the album is Ride Like the Wind

Oh I like that. I'd heard it before but never connected the two songs.
shareI say yea. He's a great counterbalance to people like Pantera and Slipknot.
shareI have it on a playlist that helps me sleep. That's not a bad thing.
shareSchmaltzy, yes, for sure!
But it's kind of nice and nostalgic, I must have heard this a hundred times on my Mom's kitchen radio growing up
I like it👍
yacht rock
shareThe epitome of.
shareHa!
I almost put yacht rock in my post above but assumed nobody else would get it lol
That channel is programmed in my car
I love Yacht Rock
shareFunny, I like it too though I can't exactly describe the genre
I guess '70s easy listening'..?
I have it on my Sat Radio in my car, good stuff!
It's certain Soft Rock bands/songs from the 70s, and Allmusic says early 80s as well. I wouldn't call it Easy Listening (even though it kind of is) because Easy Listening is a genre that includes vocals and instrumentals like that of Frank Sinatra.

I think the Canadian group The Cooper Brothers would qualify. They had a couple of great songs back in the 70s
