And I have a copy of said 7". It reached #8 in the UK Charts.

Also, I can honestly say that I can only first remember hearing the term "yacht rock" in the last couple of years, even though Wiki says it has been around since 2005.

(I also have the complete DVD boxset of Moonlighting which is otherwise completely unavailable on any UK platform)

Yacht Rock term... I first heard it a few years ago on SiriusXM channel they created.

Then found this tv series which I'm still trying to get a copy of.

I own the soundtrack on vinyl, and I own some other Al Jarreau as well. Also own Bruce Willis’ “Bruno” album, which I freely admit I enjoy despite its imperfections.
