  • Even at 74, Kenny Loggins' voice sounds as youthful as his songs, which have a habit of making us feel young, too. The singer talks with correspondent Lee Cowan about touring; his "yacht rock" hits; his new memoir, "Still Alright"; and how being a father affected his music.

    It amazes me how many truly great songs Kenny Loggins has written...all of which tell touching stories or inspire certain aspects of life. Not one single hit he ever wrote could be considered shallow or opportunistic...all tell a story in either a touching or fun way...and he managed to do that for DECADES...WOW !!

    Long time ago I went to a Loggins and Messina concert. It started with a spotlight on Jim sitting on a stool playing beautiful acoustic. We were enthralled. After a few minutes it went dark, then lights, then Kenny leapt onto the stage. As he landed he hit the first notes on his electric guitar and for two hours we were transported. I have such a love for Loggins & Messina songs (faves Back to Georgia, Peace of Mind) and Kenny’s solo albums (Celebrate Me Home, High Adventure) Can’t even express the joy, passion, and memories that well up.

      Ditto in the car and in the house. I was thrilled beyond when he sang "Heart to Heart" at this show in Cincinnati! I didn't think he would sing it, and when he told how Michael McDonald and he wrote the song plus David Foster, I was still waiting for confirmation. When he said this is called "Heart to Heart", I let out the biggest "woo" ever! Love him forever for that AND for staying to greet fans and sign autographs afterwards. I want to see him live again!

      Last year I picked up the Grand Canyon dvd. I’d had that performance on vhs and wanted to update things so I could watch it without hooking up a vcr. What a great concert and watching him do those amazing vocal trade offs with saxophone (Marc Russo I think) on Celebrate Me Home …you realize Kenny Loggins is one of the great vocalists of any era.
      The other two great KL videos (for me) are Live At/In the Redwoods (1992ish, an Unplugged kind of thing but a very good one) and the one he did for Soundstage in 2017. The opening section of tunes featuring Kenny with David Foster -> Mike McDonald on that Soundstage video is just too good. Age seems to be irrelevant.

    I love Kenny Loggins and Loggins and Messina. I saw Loggins and Messina back in the day soon before they split at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Art Center). What a show. Kenny came and sat on the edge of the stage with an acoustic guitar. It was magical. I’ve seen Kenny many times solo and each and every performance is perfect. I actually got to shake his hand after a concert in Tarrytown NY. My kids were joking with me that I’ll never wash my hands again lol.
    Kenny is a special person and a tremendous performer/singer.

    When I heard "Pooh Corner" on this, I about broke down. I used to run an internet station and had a friend named Allyson who would tune in with her disabled brother Matthew. When it was his bedtime, she'd have me play that as my final song of the broadcast for him. She passed away January 10, 2017 and I've never been able to locate him. I always think of where he is, how he is and just hope he's okay wherever he is. She told me that if it was possible, I should of been his dad instead of the abusive man who beat both of them. Such a brutal song for me emotionally, but I'll never forget what it means to me.

    Kenny Loggins could do no wrong in the late 70s/early 80s. Several years ago I watched one of his videos here on YT and in the comments section asked, "What ever happened to Kenny Loggins???" His wife apparently monitors his social media presence as no more than a day later she actually responded to my question telling me Kenny was still very much making music and traveling doing live shows. Kenny looks well here, and I hope to catch one of his Central California shows in the very near future.❤️❤️❤️💯

    I love his music! Went to see him live when he came to Chicago in 2016 to do a Sound Stage Concert. It was awesome because they filmed it live with the audience there - “doing re-takes” and “do-overs” until Kenny was satisfied. It was beautiful to see. When it aired, I could see myself in the audience and the concert came out just perfectly. I’ve been a fan for decades and have all of his music. I made a playlist with three of his original songs from the December album repeating over and over again. The three-song playlist runs about three hours long, as a result. It is so soothing, relaxing and calming, that I use it to fall asleep to each night; and have been doing so for years. All of his music is simply heartfelt and beautiful. Love you Kenny! ❤
