The untold story of soft rock, whose artists dominated pop music worldwide in the '70s, only to crash and burn in the '80s, eventually experiencing one of the most unlikely comebacks in music history.
After Vietnam and Watergate, the musical question of a generation morphs from "Are You Experienced?" to "Have You Never Been Mellow?" As America gets in touch with itself, major artists of the era and today relive the '70s tsunami of soft rock.
Trashed by the music press, ridiculed in pop culture, left as roadkill by MTV, soft hits rock bottom in the 1980s. Air Supply and Rupert "Piña Colada" Holmes deal with milquetoast accusations as careers plummet and soft rock descends into irrelevance.
The most fantastic resurrection in music history begins when Warren G samples Michael McDonald then Yacht Rock sets sail. Now a staple of hip hop, movies, TV and social media, soft rockers are finally getting the respect they've always deserved.
