The Captain of Her Heart - Was that the first new age/smooth jazz song ever? I was listening to some new age/smooth jazz/kenny g-type of station the other day (cuz I was in the car with someone who had it on) and I realized that The Captain of her Heart sounds similar to this type of music, except there's vocals and it's so much better than the actual new age/smooth jazz stuff.

It's also been sampled a couple of times - there was an old techno song back in the early 90's by J. Dee, and more recently Marc et Claude sampled it in "I Need Your Loving".
