Sleeping Late With Sophisti-Pop Swing

from Saturn’s Favorite Music the Podcast · host Laura Lee

In this episode of the Saturn's Favorite Music podcast, guests Justin and Jane return to explore the adult contemporary phenomenon of sophisti-pop and ask whether Air Supply could crash the world economy. There is a hit song that you might not know was co-written by Kenny Loggins, a duo who met during a tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, and a song that managed to land entirely off Justin's radar despite being a top 20 AC hit. The celtic rock band Enter the Haggis gets another name drop. The Monkees elbow their way into a conversation about record executives manufacturing hits and Laura adds another song to her "Cheery Sounding Songs About Dysfunctional Relationships" playlist. The featured artists are The Doobie Brothers, Curtis Stigers, Swing Out Sister and Air Supply. Can you guess which of these artists always rubbed Justin the wrong way?
