It was like, "Oh, my God." And I thought Ambrosia,
I think in comparison, like, "Oh, my God,
we got a long way to go, guys." And I think it was
that frustration of, "I wanna break through
with something great." One day I went to Michael,
"How did you come up with those changes
for 'Minute by Minute'?" He said, he goes,
"You know, David, those practice books
by Handel, I study those and I kind of study
how chords work with each other
and interlock with each other and interesting key changes." And all of a sudden,
that sort of unlocked something in my imagination
to go out further

And I thought Ambrosia,
I think in comparison,
00:00:05.505 --> 00:00:08.591
like, "Oh, my God,

Movie Summary
This documentary chronicles the rise, fall, and rise again of the soft rock epitomized by artists such as Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, and Toto in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Retroactively dubbed "Yacht Rock," the easy-listening genre came to be gently mocked and even dismissed by rock lovers and critics. However, it has since reclaimed its place in music history and is celebrated in this groove-infused film.
