Where I grew up in the seventies and eighties, this music was called soft rock. 😂

[andstufforwhatever]

Jaxson was raised correctly! Ms. Kia and Angel is a vibe... Definitely my favorite 2!

[toodlescae]

We just called it soft rock in the 70's

[TheBlackbird]

"They smoked a blunt before They're called THE DOOBIE BROTHERS for a reason 🤣🤣

[joeymcbrayer]

Jaxon gives me hope for the future. It’s refreshing to know someone of his age and from his generation knows and loves this great music!

[EmpathBonz]

I'm turning FREAKING 60!!!! on Monday (Yes, I'm old!😂😋😂) and this took me right back!! I had goosebumps on every one of these!
Thanks for a GREAT Birthday episode! 😍🐱

[debbiesmith]

This episode took me back baby, to the good old-fashioned days who knew I love yacht music.🥰💃🏾

[dawnz]

Jaxson singing and knowing many of these songs, made me adore him more! Kid has good taste! Good job parents!

[joshuaconner]

Entertaining episode of React. Jaxon has so much music knowledge and is such an old soul. Jason and Jaden/Angel and her mother are such great parent and child duos. Dani had great commentary

[genageeraert]

That guys dad just living his best life

[_kass]

I grew up with all these and still love them all. Summer breeze came out the year I was born 😆

[rickjr]

One of the members of Player, Ron Moss(the guy in red in the video)played the original Ridge Forrester on “The Bold And The Beautiful” for its first 25 years from 1987-2002.

[thriftabout]

People seem to think that Rupert Holmes' "Escape/The Pina Colada Song" is a romantic ballad but when you listen to the story, it's really just a song about a jaded couple finding sneaky ways to cheat on each other. You can even hear the disappointment in HER voice when she says, "Ah, it's you."

[TheHeyluv]

RIP Bobby Caldwell, this video came out just a day or two before he passed away 😢

[ChristinaDoone]

One girl was thinking of "Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder. So glad she figured it out.

[Destynb]

This is my kinda music! I could hang out with Jason AND Jackson. They knew all the songs. Lol I went on a road trip to see the Doobie Brothers (mostly Michael McDonald) last year. They still sound great!

RIP to Bobby Caldwell 🕊️

[chrismill]

in the philippines, they all came under the tag "cruisin' collection". now i know why 😄 thanks so much for this. glad the kids liked it, too.

[lashutterbug]

Yacht Rock is just another name for Soft Rock, which is what it was originally called back during its 70s heyday.

[TheBeeker]

This is from my younger years and I was born in the early 70’s so I grew up with this music and I still listen to it

[declanfan]

This was a really cool episode. Really loved seeing Jason. He’s one of my all time favorite adult Reactors. Never heard of yacht rock until today. I actually knew quite a bit of these songs.
