Loggins has three grandkids and another on the way. "It's just time to be home and to travel for pleasure when I travel. It's like the Ancient Mariner. I need to go inland and bury the anchor." A lot of that comes down to age. He did just turn 75, as did his vocal cords. "As we get older," Loggins says, "our voices change." When COVID-19 took him o...
He learned a singing technique that's helped him get the notes back, allowing him to feel more confident as he heads out to say goodbye to the fans whose continued support has allowed him to live out his dreams for more than 50 years. "I think the other side of the mixed emotion is gratitude," Loggins says. "I'm excited to get out there and express...
He also plans to do some reminiscing. "'Danny's Song' goes back to when I was a senior in high school," he says. That song was featured on the album that launched his career, 1971's "Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin' In." As the title of that album suggests, they didn't initially plan on becoming a duo. Messina had been brought in to produce t...
Still, Loggins was excited to go solo with 1977's "Celebrate Me Home." "By that time, we had been together six years, which is what we'd promised Clive Davis," Loggins says. "And my writing was changing dramatically. I was writing with chords I'd never played before, tonal things I'd never done before." He found himself collaborating on the title t...
He listened to Wonder's "Music of My Mind" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" for inspiration. "Those were like, 'What the (expletive)? This is fantastic. And how do we do this?'" he says with a laugh. "And that's how some of us skinny white people came up with what they now call yacht rock, because we were leaning more into the R&B of that era wi...
By now, Loggins has embraced the yacht-rock mantle. "It doesn't scare me anymore," he says. "It did at first. When my kids showed me the videos, I was like, 'I'm not sure this is flattering.'" Loggins laughs. "But what I have embraced is the fact that Mike McDonald and I and others who were leaning into that style, we just thought we were making mu...
Loggins' first big solo hit was "Whenever I Call You Friend" with Stevie Nicks. "When I went solo, the first major gig I got was as Fleetwood Mac's opening act right at the beginning of 'Rumours,'" Loggins says. That led to hanging out after the shows and getting to be friends with Nicks. "She was incredibly generous and said, 'If you need a singer...
In 1980, Loggins had his second Top 10 solo hit with "I'm Alright" from "Caddyshack." It was the first of several soundtrack hits, from the chart-topping "Footloose" to "Danger Zone" from "Top Gun" that earned him the nickname the King of Movie Soundtracks. "I had done 'A Star Is Born' with Barbra, and her boyfriend was Jon Peters," Loggins says. "...
Loggins was thrilled to have his recording of "Danger Zone" used again in last year's "Top Gun: Maverick." "Two years before that, I'd gone through the renaissance of 'Footloose' with the Blake Shelton version," he says. "And I got to perform that with Blake on the CMAs. Then around comes 'Danger Zone.'" Loggins met with Tom Cruise just as the acto...
"Footloose" is his favorite use of something he recorded in a movie — in part because it shows people dancing to the actual recording. "Hollywood rarely uses the actual song or tempo that they put in later," Loggins says. "So the dancers always look incredibly uncoordinated. With 'Footloose,' they danced to the actual music, or in some cases, I had...
