I love the story behind this song. Loggins and co-writer Michael McDonald were trying to come up with a love ballad, but they weren't coming up with anything. During this time, Loggins' father was battling a serious illness and was feeling defeated and wanted to give up the fight. Loggins wrote this song for his dad.

Footloose, Danger Zone, Heaven Help the Man, Nobody's Fool, I'm Alright, Keep Fighting (duet with Steve Perry), Whenever I Call You Friend (duet with Stevie Nicks), Heart to Heart are ALL amazing and worth a listen. Cheers from Canada!

"Don't Fight It" is the song with Steve Perry. ANOTHER song that the "Classic Hits Of The 70’s & 80's" type stations totally forgot about! There is so much great forgotten music that radio ignores. It's just lazy to play the same Elton John, Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac and Journey songs ALL day, EVERY day! Another great forgotten song is STEVE PERRY: "Strung Out" that had radio play originally.

This is my fave by him, but "Heart to Heart" is another great one (studio version best for his full flava!). There is a great version of This is It, however, live in concert with McDonald, not too many years ago, if you want to see them both. Also, a slow but powerful ballad is Danny's Song from his Loggins & Messina days (also recorded version best).

There's a song he did with Joni Mitchell - "Good Friends", as well of course a number of Steely Dan songs - " Peg", "Don't Take Me Alive", "Dr. Wu" and many more with them and so many other artists. I was always a fan of his harmonies and how his vocal tone would blend in with others so richly.

You need to check out Celebrate Me Home, Whenever I Call You Friend (duet with Stevie Nicks), I'm Alright (theme song from Caddyshack), Heart to Heart, Danger Zone (theme song for Top Gun), The Rest of Your Life plus Your Momma Don't Dance and roll when he was a duet group with Jim Messina.

Kenny Loggins was a lover of soul music and if you go into his albums, his forays into R&B were always so fantastic. This was one of his bigger hits, but later songs such as Love Will Follow (especially in a live version featuring Shanice…), Too Early for the Sun, Sweet Reunion, Now That I Know Love (a song written for The Winans), and Rest of your Life (written with the amazing Jonathan Butler…) show off that soulful side, and that he could’ve ridden an R&B wave had those been promoted like his pop songs. Hope you check some of these out in the future.

Deep meaning to this song, cause Kenny wrote it for his dad when he was sick. On another note, Ya’ll rockin & groovin but no reaction to Michael MMcDonald actually singin the lead on the bridge: ‘No one can tell you what you know’, also harmonizing on the hook & the pre chorus: ‘You say that maybe it’s over…’. Actually Mike probably layered his vocals singing different parts. Check out Love Will Follow, with special guest Shanice, from Kenny’s live concert in the Redwoods wit a Smokin band.
