This sounds like a David Foster production. And it sounds like he used to sing background for artists like Eric Tagg, Gino Vannelli, and mister mister.
I'd never heard of this guy until I ran across a blog about Christian Yacht Rock being a real "thing." The writer said something to the effect of: "Schmidt might look like an extra from Joanie Loves Chachi, but anyone who's got the guys from Mr. Mister playing on his album is ok with me." Indeed! Good stuff!
thatMimosaGrove Jim also did some acting in a number of Christian films produced by his brother John (the Super Christian and Wait of the World series and 1981's Kevin Can Wait) as well.
+HRTVFan2 OH WOW!! I knew he looked familiar! I just re-watched Kevin Can Wait about a month ago, here on YT, having seen it some thirty years ago. But I never made the connection until you said that. Thanks! I've not seen the other ones you mention though. Makes me want to see them too.
Just a true statement about sampling being an artform because I wouldn't have ever known of this song had it not been for a remix of MF Doom's Vomitspit! I like this song even more now knowing the detail put into making a beat out of it!
This is that Farmer Jack music that you be listening to when you over an aisle 6 looking for some cereal. LOL! All joking aside I love the song. Besides Farmer Jack's close down in the 90s. I'm really telling my age with that statement y'all. LOL!
Outstanding! A real killer backing vocals by Richard Page & Steve George.(Mr. Mister And Pages.) They contributed AOR their supreme talents as a session musician..

Eric Tagg
Todd Rundgren
Marc Jordan
… and David Pack.
Also Bobby Caldwell!
You put me in such good company! I'm honored. Thank you
That west coast smooth FM sound!
Simply unbeatable!
American City Pop Music is amazing 😁
City pop is basically japanese soft rock, aor, jazz fusion and disco
Yeah, the American version is called ''AOR/Westcoast''. The Japanese one that is called ''City Pop''. But they're basically on the same musical line.
It's the other way around, city pop is Japanese spin on yacht rock/AOR
Came for the sweater,
stay for the groove.
😂👍
Nice tune, has that Al Jarreau-arrangement-touch.. sound of the early 80s. Soulfood
We're in this love toghether huh?
Breakin' Away
This takes me back to my growing up years, so nostalgic. Love these simple jazzy classic tunes.......

Essa musica eleva minha energia num nível ❤️eu viajo no tempo que o amor e o romance estavam em alta ❤️

This is AOR. Heavily influenced by cats that you mentioned. Gino was crafting this sound since the early 70s! Cheers! :)
Good call with Mister Mister. Richard Page and Steve George both have backing vocal credits.
The horn arrangement is superb.
West Coast Breeze Songs like this one lives in my heart
David Diggs on guitar and keys! Incredible sound!
찾았다 요노래!! 고생했다 나~^^♥
One of the most beautiful songs I ever heard.. it sounds like the song Barry Manilow or Eric Carmen would have song
Superb tune !!!!

Para Enero del 2022 también y todo el tiempo luego del COVID... La VIDA es una sola como ésta buena música.

i love west coast music 80
Nice jam/groove.
I like Michael McDonald as much as anyone, but Richard Page was the god of backing vocals.
Page was really something else alright!

Aqui...nesse céu azul
Pássaros voam ao Sul...
É nós aqui!

Do you have the title track "Somethin' Right", Justin?

Now all of y'all have to admit it doesn't he look like Paul Hardcastle brother. LOL!
