So what is 'Yacht Soul'? Smooth, well-crafted, super-engineered with the sprinkling of perfect musicianship: Yacht Soul is where soul music from the late 70s and AOR collided to create a perfect blend which has stood the test of time - thanks in large parts to the meticulous songwriting and producing of the era. An elite group of musicians which included members of Toto – Steve Pocaro, Jeff Pocaro, Mike Pocaro, Steve Lukather, David Paitch along with other well respected session musicians such as Paulinho DaCosta, Greg Phillinganes, Louis Johnson, members of Average White Band and finally Jerry Hey, Larry Williams & Kim Hutchcroft of Seawind Horns. Song writers included David Foster, Jay Graydon, Bill Champlin and Rod Temperton. Yacht Soul has more synthesizer and horns with less emphasis on rock guitars. Lyrics are a little more romantic, a little more sensual. The players are rooted in R&B, jazz and soul - it’s all very smooth.

Soulguru Podcast 60 - Prince Special
Here is my tribute to the 'Purple One' - 3 hours of non-stop PRINCE - lovingly segued together. It features the hits, the album tracks, the b-sides, the side-projects, the live experience, the rehearsals, the demos and the damn well brilliant sound of PRINCE! I loved piecing this together, featuring tracks from all aspects of his glorious career spanning 1978-2014. I have tried to feature 'all of his purple life' so click-it, download-it and share-it! RIP Prince Rogers Nelson 1958-2016.
