Kenny Loggins is without doubt one of the most successful
songwriters and performers in the world. With a career spanning more than
thirty years, Kenny Loggins is a one-man commercial powerhouse, logging in
twelve Platinum plus albums and fourteen Gold albums in the United States
alone, and selling more than twenty million albums worldwide. Born in
Everett, Washington, Kenny Loggins moved to Los Angeles with his family
when he was six years old. Kenny was drawn to music at a young age. His
first break came just after he turned eighteen, when he signed on as a
staff writer for a music-publishing outfit for $100 a week. Kenny Loggins
would go on to write four songs that were placed on a Nitty Gritty Dirt
Band album in 1970, among them “House at Pooh Corner,” one of Kenny
Loggins' most popular and enduring hits.
Kenny Loggins success at songwriting brought him to the attention of
former Buffalo Springfield member and record producer Jim Messina. Though
Messina initially intended to produce Kenny Loggins as a solo artist, the
two soon formed their own band. For half a decade Loggins and Messina
amassed six Multi-Platinum and eight Gold albums, enjoyed worldwide
superstardom and together created a long list of classic hits such as
“Your Mama Don’t Dance,” “Angry Eyes,” “Danny’s Song” and “House At Pooh
Corner,” to name just a few. The pair parted ways in 1976, and it wasn’t
long beforeKenny Loggins' solo star began to rise.
Kenny Loggins' first three solo albums, Celebrate Me Home, Nightwatch and
Keep The Fire all went Platinum. His self-produced album Vox Humana was
certified Gold, and along the way he picked up two Grammy Awards: Song of
the Year for “What A Fool Believes” and Best Pop Vocal for “This Is It.”
His work on the soundtrack album for the enormously successful film
FOOTLOOSE earned Kenny Loggins an Academy Award Nomination. Other hit
albums followed: 1980’s Alive and 82’s High Adventure would both sell well
over the 500,000 unit mark in the United States alone.
As a songwriter, Kenny Loggins’ track record has put him in the upper
echelon of popular hitmakers. His memorable hits include “House At Pooh
Corner,” “Danny’s Song,” “Celebrate Me Home,” “Whenever I Call You Friend”
(with Stevie Nicks
), “This Is It,” “Danger Zone” (from the film TOP GUN),
“I’m Alright” (from the film CADDYSHACK), “Forever,” “Conviction Of The
Heart,” “Meet Me Halfway,” “For The First Time,” “Don’t Fight It” (with
