Kenny Loggins    
While I've always HATED his "Shopping Mall-Rock" songs like Footlose and Danger Zone, I've always liked Kenny's laid-back Pop/Soul songs. His first 2 solo albums, Celebrate Me Home and Nightwatch were produced by Bob James, with that CTI/Columbia pop jazz sound, and ever since 1992's Leap of Faith, he's kinda returned to that laid-back sound. My favorites are: Celebrate Me Home Why Do People Lie Love Will Follow When She Believed In Me (with David Benoit, Russ Freeman) Whenever I Call You Friend Leap Of Faith Sweet Reunion Enter My Dream Heart To Heart I Would Do Anything Wait A Little While This Is It I Am Not Hiding All I Ask(with Babyface) Set It Free What A Fool Believes Who's Right, Who's Wrong Too Early For The Sun [Edited 9/27/04 14:54pm] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Yep, Kenny was cool before he got corporate MOR. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

You beat me to the punch.
Been meaning to do a thread but never got to it. You already got the super groovy ones. 
To those i'll add... You Don't Know Me Daddy's Back I've Got The Melody Angelique Wait A Little While Now And Then Keep The Fire Give It Half A Chance The Real Thing Conviction Of The Heart (for the musical interlude alone) Now Or Never Rainbow Connection (yep, Kermit's tune) Now That I Know Love The Art Of Letting Go Love's Got Nothin' To Prove The Rest Of Your Life This cat can blow. Outside: From The Redwoods proves he's not doing it with smoke and mirrors. Having the Waters Family and the Santa Cruz Missionary Baptist Church Choir singing background even eliminates the need for vocal backing tracks to recreate the beautiful harmonies. Unimaginable Life is a super record. Great tunes, great players (including Randy "Dawg" Jackson) and a great story. I've only heard the title cut from It's About Time where he goes to funky church with Michael McDonald. Overall, the good outweighs the bad with this dude. tA  Tribal Disorder

yes, Kenny Loggins was fine no doubt. and you already listed his best pieces.
but let me just point out my all time fave of his:  "Whenever I call you friend"
for me this song is one of the finest creations in all of pop music  I could listen to this nonstop over... and over.. and over... and over... and over... 
I often thought about doing a thread dedicated to this song... to late  Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

Kenny didn't write Minute By Minute, He co-wrote What A Fool Believes, with Michael Mcdonald. It first appeared on Kenny's album, Nightwatch, but the later Doobie Brothers version became the smash Hit.....(they sometimes perform it together, like on the " Live Under The Redwoods" concert) [Edited 9/28/04 10:31am] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |
