Album lore

Finis Henderson’s 1983 album Finis arrives on the UNI/MOTOWN label amid the waning years of the yacht rock and AOR eras. The record’s ten tracks, including “Lovers,” “Making Love,” and “Blame It on the Night,” channel the glossy West Coast sound with smooth grooves, soft percussion, and polished production. Finis’s work here sits comfortably alongside contemporaries who favored clean arrangements and a certain muscularity often dubbed “hairy chest” rock by aficionados.Though not widely known, Finis occupies an intriguing place in the post-disco transition, incorporating elements of late-night funk and polished pop. The record’s moderate presence on platforms like Last.fm attests to a modest but enduring resonance among crate-diggers and collectors chasing that particular blend of 80s AOR sheen and sophisticated soft rock. Finis remains a subtle artifact of its time, offering a well-crafted snapshot of a genre in its twilight.
