    Hall and Oates is considered “blue-eyed soul”. The term was actually first used back in the 1960s referring to groups like the Righteous Brothers and their music, and again in more recent times to Hall and Oates. Actually saw America on a USO tour when they played at the base theater at Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, around 1990-91, when I was assigned there in the Air Force. Great live show. 👍

      Getting a real good start from the early 60s, inspired by some late 50's Italian Doo-Wop Groups, The Genre of "Blue Eyed Soul" was getting a good start!
      Many White and Italian Singers were being influenced by the Black Soul Music of that Era, but yet White Singers were coming up with a Soul style sound of their own, especially Italian Singers, like Frankie Valli, Joey Dee, Felix Cavaliere, Eddie Brigati, and others like Mitch Ryder, Bill Medley, and Bobby Hatfield, so on and so forth.
      We have searched all over Facebook for reputable Blue Eyed Soul Pages, but we did not find a single one that is clear and defined in the Genre, one page went as far as to call Garth Brooks, Blue Eyed Soul, and we thought, that is enough! And one that called itself that, wasn't even
      Music, things can really get downright cryptic in Facebookland.
      So we are setting out to bring a Pure or as close as we can, to the Genre of Blue Eyed Soul.
      The reason it matters to us to have such a Group is because some of our Groups here were in Blue Eyed Soul Bands bk in the Day.
      There are some modern Blue Eyed Soul Crooners, not many but some, but they do also get fixed into other Genres, Like Hall and Oats, Simply Red, Bobby Caldwell, and so forth. So it is our hope to be able and fill a niche in the FB Music Category Community. And that you will dig into what we are all about. This has been a promise that I have made to several friends over the years, So here you are Blue Eyed Soul! If you find that you do not care for this style of Music, PLEASE! Don't get worked up, just let us know and we will be glad to remove you, otherwise, we hope you add and enjoy. Thax Felix KM.Galanti aka Kirk Kimball-Martinez.

      Hall and Oates are the very definition of blue-eyed soul, as well as Michael McDonald's Doobie Brothers. BES is exactly what Tee has defined(soul music performed by white artists), and thus differ from soft Rock (of which Yacht Rock is a sub-genre of) but it can definitely allude to or incorporate (or be incorporated)elements within Soft Rock.

    I had to look up the term Blue-eyed soul (also called white soul) is rhythm and blues (R&B) and soul music performed by white artists. The term was coined in the mid-1960s, to describe white artists whose sound was similar to that of the predominantly black Motown and Stax record labels.
    America is a great Yacht rock band. You have already done two other big songs from America Sister Golden Hair and Ventura Highway. Check out song - Tin Man

    Hall and Oates are known for blue-eyed soul. (Love their Sara Smile.)
    I would say that Michael McDonald and The Doobie Brothers also qualify as blue-eyed soul.
    As for yacht rock, I think you're already familiar with Christopher Cross' Sailing. Another song I like is Little River Band's Reminiscing. Also, England Dan and John Cord Foley's 'I'd Really Love to See You Tonight, Seals and Crofts' Summer Breeze, Don Henley's Boys of Summer, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street, Eagles' I Can't Tell You Why, Air Supply's Lost in Love, Rupert Holmes' Pina Colada Song.

    Written by Russ Ballard. This is the only song America had as a Top 40 song not written by them.
    Some America fans dislike this because it does not resemble any of the 1970s songs which they wrote. But I go with the 1980s America fans: I like it because it is a good song although an outside writer wrote this!
    The live version has guitars which replace the keyboards.
    RIP Willie Leacox, drums, 2023.

    Grew up in the 60s and 70s and to my knowledge Frank Sinatra music was never considered Blue Eyed Soul. He was Crooner and Janice Joplin was a Rock singer. There were categories of music and then subcategories that fell under them. Bobby Caldwell would be a Blue Eyed Soul singer for example.😊

    Tasha's " Abracadabra " showed impeccable timing and wit.
    The look on her face when she said this ... she definitely knows how to "wield" that magic.
    That feminie ❤ magic .
    "Made me realize the powers that I have that I can wield over your soul ... "
    I realize she laughed as she was saying this, but let's be honest -- she ain't lyin' .
    Women know. That's all I'm gonna say ... they know. 😊
    [ and then she adds "get you to do stuff."
    uh huh -- they know ]
    It's sort of funny that there are a handful of songs from around the 70's that have "magic" in their tirles, and they are all good songs that were very popular. Like ...
    Magic [ Pilot -- 1975 ]
    Magic [ Olivia Newton John -- 1980 ]
    Magic Carpet Ride [ Steppenwolf -- 1968 ]
    Magic Man [ Heart -- 1976 】
    Strange Magic [ Electric Light Orchestra -- 1976 ]
    ... to name a few .
    And there are a few more. And even more over the decades.
    And in reference to the term "Blue-eyed soul" , I was under the impression, as Tee was, that it referred to white groups or solo artists who sounded like a black group.

      Getting a real good start from the early 60s, inspired by some late 50's Italian Doo-Wop Groups, The Genre of "Blue Eyed Soul" was getting a good start!
      Many White and Italian Singers were being influenced by the Black Soul Music of that Era, but yet White Singers were coming up with a Soul style sound of their own, especially Italian Singers, like Frankie Valli, Joey Dee, Felix Cavaliere, Eddie Brigati, and others like Mitch Ryder, Bill Medley, and Bobby Hatfield, so on and so forth.
      We have searched all over Facebook for reputable Blue Eyed Soul Pages, but we did not find a single one that is clear and defined in the Genre, one page went as far as to call Garth Brooks, Blue Eyed Soul, and we thought, that is enough! And one that called itself that, wasn't even
      Music, things can really get downright cryptic in Facebookland.
      So we are setting out to bring a Pure or as close as we can, to the Genre of Blue Eyed Soul.

      There are some modern Blue Eyed Soul Crooners, not many but some, but they do also get fixed into other Genres, Like Hall and Oats, Simply Red, Bobby Caldwell, and so forth.

    I always interpreted blue eyed soul the same way you did. Meaning you listen to a song, not knowing who it is, and you believe it’s being done by a black group or a black artist just because of the feel. Then our jaw drops when they turn out to be white! Not a criticism either way, it’s just a vibe. Some people have it and some people don’t. Go listen to the song What You Won’t do For Love. I loved the Lowdown reaction. Keep up the great work!
    I love what you’re doing together whether it’s a black person or a white person singing. Then you’ll understand blue eyed soul.

    Yes, Blue-eyed soul is mainly R&B sung by white performers. However, it’s primarily defined as a song that you listened to on the radio and you always thought it was sung by a black artist but come to find it was really a white performer or group. Good examples are Bobby Caldwell’s What You Won’t Do for Love and The Doobie Brothers featuring Michael McDonald singing What a Fool Believes. Give a Listen to Len Barry singing 1-2-3.

    This is a perfect example. Yeah its considered "soft rock", but mehhh, theres something else hidden underneath it all, and thats the "soul" part.. You may not really "hear" it per se', but you feel it. Sort of like the rebar in a concrete building, holding everything together. A black artist during this time could've just as easily made this record without even changing that much. They would've probably just dug out the soul and brought it to the surface, and voila, tadahhhhh.
