Kenny Loggins ~ Who's Right, Who's Wrong

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I really enjoyed this song and the album it came from in 1979--Keep The Fire by Kenny Loggins.I still give it a listen now and then.

  1. "Love Has Come of Age" (Kenny Loggins) – 3:51
  2. "Mr. Night" (Loggins, Richard Stekol) – 3:20
  3. "This Is It" (Loggins, Michael McDonald) – 4:06
  4. "Junkanoo Holiday (Fallin'-Flyin')" (Loggins) – 4:30
  5. "Now and Then" (Jeff Bouchard, Loggins) – 3:52
  6. "Who's Right, Who's Wrong" (Loggins, Richard Page) – 5:38
  7. "Keep the Fire" (Eva Ein, Loggins) – 4:34
  8. "Give It Half a Chance" (Stephen Bishop, Loggins) – 4:57
  9. "Will It Last" (Ein, Loggins) – 5:50

Another geat song from the album:

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

I think some other group recorded This Is It first, maybe the Doobies.

This Is It was co-written by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald, who was a member of the Doobie Brothers.

Skunk Baxter of the Doobies was originally in Steely Dan, and Mike sang background on some of their songs. Skunk also played guitar on Donna Summer's Hot Stuff.

I've never understood those "yacht rock" jokes. That's not what the music was called at the time.

Co-writer Richard Page released it also with his group, Pages

And there's a great live-version, filmed and recorded in 1981 at the Montreux Jazz Festival

Besides Randy Crawford and Al Jarreau, it features David Sanborn (alto saxophone),

Marcus Miller (electric bass), Ricky Lawson (drums/Yellowjackets), Lenny Castro (percussion),

Larry Carlton (guitar) and Neil Larsen (keyboards, synthesizers/Larsen Feiten Band)

This performance was also released around 1982 on Warner Brothers, under the title

"Casino Lights" and with a variety of other sets with the same musicians + other guests

Yacht Rock was the name created for the web series, but it's now used to describe that genre of late 70s-early 80s soft-rock. The web series creator is a genuine fan of the music and noticed in many album liner notes that a lot of the same musicians worked on each others records: like Kenny Loggins writing and recording with Michael McDonald, McDonald recording with Steely Dan, etc.

The comedy of the web series was taking a true element (for example, members of Toto did write Human Nature for Michael Jackson, and Michael Jackson did know and record sessions with Kenny Loggins) and exaggerate it to extremes, portraying the musicians opposite of their public personas.

I mean, in Yacht Rock, Michael Jackson is portrayed as a loud-mouth, obnoxious, p*ssy hound. lol
