Jimmy Fallon is scheduled to host a “Yacht Rock Party” on tonight’s episode of “Late Night” that will feature the smooth stylings of Christopher Cross, who will perform the yacht rock cornerstones “Ride Like the Wind” and “Sailing.” From OK Magazine:

You mean you don’t know what Yacht Rock is? Hearken back to the soft rock of Southern California in the late ’70s and early ’80s, that certain strain of music celebrated with nautical references in lyrics, videos and album artwork. Yacht Rockers like Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan and Toto joined [Christopher] Cross in celebrating all things yacht-like.

The reason I’m making it a point to write about this is that it blows my mind that some people still haven’t seen the Yacht Rock series from Channel 101, which chronicles the fictitious stories of how yacht rock’s classics came to be. Above is episode 1 to get you started; below is my favorite in the series. Watch it or we can’t be friends. It’s so smooth!
