DISQUS

David Foster is still going strong he just had an all star charity concert in Vegas with everyone from Peter Cetera to Boz Scaggs to Josh Groban.
Dann Huff is the guitarist on many Kenny Loggins and Amy Grant songs as well as Peter Cetera's Glory of Love.

I'm not sure if Shem Kenny Loggins' bass player and former music director is still playing with Ambrosia since he's taking an odd turn as an opera singer. He does a great version on the Highlights from the Galaxy concert of the Ambrosia song.

Great song! You ought to check out composer David Foster's Liberace like cover on his RECHORDINGS album.

This Mellow Gold has got to have a Mellow Gold edition on Kenny Loggins the ultra swooner, guitarist and healer. Please keep it up on your language.

Kenny Loggins did record a Christmas album only to have one of his tunes
stolen by Michael McDonald ("On Christmas Morning") Of course both had earlier sung it on TV but Michael beats Kenny on that one. There's another Loggins christmas album that is basically songs from the earlier one plus songs written for three of his five kids.

When are you gonna cover more Kenny Loggins hits?
I'm Alright or Heart to Heart don't remember the weeks. There's been times in my life I've been wondering why... You said maybe it's over...
THIS IS IT!

Keilani Goggins does sound like Kenny Loggins (Hawaiian drag queen or something) I read somewhere that Michael Jackson was inspired by West Side Story's first line "Beat It" for his song.

Since John Belushi was no more he had to do it. I would like to see a revival of WE ARE THE WORLD for Darfur or something like that.
Pretty sad about El DeBarge, hope he is found not guilty. Chico worked in the band with Bobby who was an AIDS victim.

According to most sources Debbie Allen performed Footloose at the Oscars. How come Kenny didn't get to perform it? Was it the same reason that Phil Collins didn't get to hear his song performed.
Maybe most of the singers and dancers were from the East Coast...

It's a shame people have treated Michael Bolton so badly. I just wanted to clarify if these really were bad they would peak under 100.

Peter Cetera "One Good Woman" has some odd lyrics
"I said you need a fortune teller/ Everybody needs a fortune teller". He looks like Donald Trump doesn't he?

Kenny did not have a naked wedding. Yes Footloose is a better song. If you want to learn what really happened to him after his heydey in the 1980s read THE UNIMAGINABLE LIFE.

Had Anne Murray not covered "Danny's Song" Loggins and Messina would have had a bigger hit just my opinion

Kokomo is another cheesy song everyone loves to hate. Very sad, so sad that people would trash such a great song!

I assume Michael wrote "Real Love" for Amy Holland whom he later married (when the heck is she gonna release her new album) Good song if you go on to Michael McDonald's website there is a clip of him peforming it solo.

FYI Bobby Caldwell did have more hits. He was sort of a Michael Bolton meets Frank Sinatra, in fact most of his recent albums have been made up of old standards. Another usless fact "Walk Like an Egyptian" was banned for airplay after 9/11

Kenny Loggins also sang Easy Lover with Philip Bailey on tour at the Montreaux Festival.
Useless fact I know.

I don't know what led Richard Page and Steve George from disbanding the west coast favorite Pages to becoming Mr. Mister... Kyrie and Broken Wings aren't terrible they're CHEESY!

Oh and would you stop using the "F" word

You may have your "Time After Time" covers a little confused. Frank Sinatra sang a very different song for a B-movie back in the late 1940s.
Let's Hear It for the Boy should have gotten the Oscar because Deniece Williams was the one artist who DID perform the number at the Oscars.
As for Dean Pitchford he did the lyrics for the awful Broadway show "Carrie" (based on the Stephen King novel...) and adapted a "Footloose" for the stage.

I love On My Own! It was Michael McDonald's only #1
hit (not counting his Doobie Bros. work) They DID
sing it together in 1989 on the Tonight Show and years later on a somewhat ill-concieved McD celebration. If only Michael's next album Take It to Heart had duets with other singers and less synth
work it would have had more chart hits.

Quite amazing that Xandau has gotten a new life on Broadway maybe they will do a remake of the movie.

I love Glory of Love! Sure it sounds a little too classical (ever hear David Foster's Liberace style version on his Rechordings album- David Foster was the TRUE king of west coast pop!
As for Take My Breath Away... it won the Oscar but Glory of Love should have. Worse, Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone wasn't nominated but it made it to #2 so that's good. I now associate "I'm Alright",
"Footloose" and "Danger Zone as the Big 3

Dan Hartman's death has been known to have been caused by both AIDS and resp. failure. I guess both.
As for Ray Parker, Jr. he is known mostly for just Ghostbusters (but it wasn't his only hit)

I can't believe Jon Cummings addded Kyrie to his Worst #1 Hits of the 1980s
It's just a CHEESY song like MacArthur Park or Dancing Queen.
