I was going to post "Peacekeeper" by Fleetwood Mac, but I can't find a normal version of it on YouTube.

Here are some of my other faves though.

Not sure if this is soft enough to qualify?

Nice guy.

In my household, the only radio station we listened to was the local soft rock station. Soft Rock makes me feel like a kid again :allears:

This is a 20-something minute long mix of Peter Cetera and Chicago hits that were usually preceded by "and now, you're listening to the Quiet Storm"

Man, even the hardest of the Hollies' output counts, I think.

My father really loved the song Africa for some reason, so there are a good many childhood memories associated with it.

Little River Band - Man on Your MInd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C7GP81w-00

My mom had a concert of theirs she taped off of HBO that she would throw on when she was cleaning. It was that, The Everly Brothers reunion concert(also taped off HBO), or Anne Murray and Larry Gatlin albums that signaled spring cleaning was starting.

And the tears that fall
On the city wall
Will fade away
With the rays of morning light
Little River Band - Take it Easy On Me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qy-uz6_9Fs

ABBA - SOS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvChjHcABPA

Carpenters - Superstar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJmmaIGiGBg

The vocal was done in one take. It's hard to believe she's been dead for as long as she was alive. Such an amazing voice.

Mister Kingdom has a new favorite as of 03:10 on Apr 18, 2015

AM Gold, Soft Rock, Light FM, etc: I'm sure a music critic can explain the fine distinctions between those phrases as they're used (if there is any apart from marketing and/or historical era) but they're all on a spectrum I like. So yes, sure, absolutely, bring on the AM Gold.
