Do I hear Micheal McDonald I the background???? 2024

Man I swear it pisses me off that people ALWAYS forget to mention Kenny Loggins when it comes to Blue Eyed Soul!!! That man earned his damn spot!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Between Kenny's lead vocal, Michael McDonald's soulful background vocals and whoever is playing keys they made this song a winner!

Who else is listening to this great song in 2024 ❤❤❤

I’m a Black Woman living in East New York, Brooklyn. I love Kenny Loggins. I used this song to get through my road test. Thanks to him I got my license.

Thank you Michael McDonald for giving that push to Kenny to put him on top of the charts.

Happy 76th Birthday Kenny Loggins!(Born January 7, 1948)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍👏🙌

Another example of how there were some SOULFUL white boys back then! Goooood music

This song was my song to my dad when he first got diagnosed with cancer. From the time he decided to fight it until the end when he couldn't fight it anymore and decided to enter hospice. He passed away Feb 8th with his children by his side,holding him. Miss him everyday.

This song was about his father fighting a deadly disease.

"THIS IS IT", NOT the garbage of today. Don't know when or where the disconnect came into play. Bring back the classics of yesterday & trashcan what people THINK is music, that really isn't.

This is one of my top 3 songs ever! When I was a little girl it was my inspirational song. I’m now 48 years old. Thank you Mr. Loggins!

Still loving this awesome song in 2022, 43 years after it's debut. I LOVE Kenny Loggins' voice and his look. "You think that maybe it's over. Only if you want it to be." Michael McDonald co-writing and singing backing vocals further explains why the song is so great. 🔥 💛

Apparently this song was dedicated to Kenny’s dad who was struggling with suicide at the time. Such a powerful song, a beautiful moment between father and son.

My cousin was in the hospital for 3 weeks and died. This song was on the radio when I got in the car. Will never forget this song

No matter what specific event this song was really about, or whatever his dad was dealing with, beyond that, the message of this song is so easy to understand and motivating. It’s amazing so many people can be inspired by this song and use it to help friends and family, even themselves.

Before "One Shining Moment" from CBS, NBC used this as its theme song for its NCAA men's basketball Final Four from 1979-1981. That's how I first learned of this song. One of the first examples of a network using a hit song at the time of release as theme music for a major sporting event.

This what we once called... REAL MUSIC! 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I had the song in my phone and sang it to my dad by his hospital bed. I knew Kenny's similar story and the lyrics gave me hope for a few months. My dad died a little while ago. Thank you Kenny for this heartfelt song.

His dad was battling alcoholism like me. Fortunately he bounced back to a normal healthy life. Like me. Thank you Kenny for this uplifting song I love you so much

Kenny. Loggins..and. Michael. McDonald ❤pure classic Amazing song 🎵

This man can really sing and I just love Michael MacDonald’s voice as well.

Who’s enjoying this music during the Coronavirus pandemic? Just love Kenny and Michael MacDonalds voices.

Some songs never get old and this is one of them that will be around forever.

I was in Middle School when this song came out!! One of the best songs of the 80's with Michael McDonald with the BG vocals, man listen!!! I just need a time machine to go back to the 80's for real!!

This is such powerful song. Kenny Loggins is one of the best writers of our generation. Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins make an awesome writing team. This is a classic and always will be. It’s 2021 and I’m listening to it like it just came out. Real music will always last because it touches people’s hearts

The keyboardist is killing it

It’s 2020 and this beat is still INSANE!!!

This song has some kind of magic to it I LOVE IT...

This was one of my favorite songs growing up as a kid of the 80s. Back then I listened to my music primarily on cassette tapes (and vinyl). Ahhh the good 'ole days. :)

This song is pure MAGIC!!!! Best song Kenny ever did. Timeless. Michael McDonald's MAGICAL voice in the background makes this an all time classic & unforgettable song. Shoulda been a waaaaaay bigger hit. So underrated. Never get tired of it. Still sounds great 40 years after it came out. The 49ers played it b4 winning their 1st Super Bowl. Powerful song.

Background vocals by Doobie Brothers' Michael McDonald. Those were the days man.

Michael McDonald on backup vocals.

Kenny says people make the mistake of thinking this about a relationship. In fact he wrote it when his father was very sick and giving up. It was challenging him to fight.

I've just discovered Kenny Loggins, he's one soulful dude

Kenny was on CBS Sunday 8/28/22, he looked great. This is It was composed and dedicated to his dad that had cancer. This song Rock my soul to the core. Thanks Kenny and Michael. Best Song Ever! Blessings

This reminds me of 1980 NCAA men's basketball tournament. The Louisville Cardinals were high flying that year. Before Houston had Phi Slamma Jamma Louisville had the Doctors of Dunk!...with Darrel Griffith! They were the first team to use athleticism on the defensive side of the court. They were pinning shots to the backboard! They also won the national championship that year. It's amazing how one song can generate so many memories...

I was 10 when this song came on the radio, back in 1979. The beautiful melody and harmony still flow through me just as it did the first time I heard it back then. Mr. Logins you are a great Artist.

I heard his Dad was fighting cancer. Also heard heart problem or "a disease". Whatever, the point of the song is very strong. Great great piece of music.

Are🗣️You🗣️Gonna 🗣️Wait For🗣️A🗣️Sign 🗣️Here’s 🗣️Your 🗣️MIRACLE 🗣️Stand 🗣️Up🗣️&🗣️Fight! 🥊 🎹🎹🎹🎹 My go to song when I gotta be brave💯☺️ Thank You 💯

when music was real

Did anyone see Kenny came from out of no where like Jesus!!!!! This is it I love ❤️ you Kenny Logins 🙏🏽❤️💯

This song is so beautiful... I get misty eyed when I hear it

Michael McDonald's voice really makes this song!!!!!!

Damn..I love this song...The opening to the song goes hard...On my daily playlist and I'm a black man..I love all music..

Hands one of the world's best written and composed ever done with honest and good soulful music for sale 4 sure Thank you Kenny and Michael.

this song can mean so many things to so many people... it's about a life changing decision that there is no return from... IMHO

Looooooovvvvveeeee this song. It still gives me butterflies when i hear it.

Just lost my mother- This has always been my favorite- has so much meaning to me now!

This track along with bill Withers “lovely day” and Randy Crawford “one day I’ll fly away” take me to such a calm, mellow place. If you’re having a bad day, these songs change everything ❤️

I love that middle part when it slows down and we can really hear Michael McDonald

Great music is great music. Color has nothing to do with it. Aretha Franklin's best era of music was played by white musicians from Alabama in the 60's. Elvis Presley and Tom Jones almost always had all black backup singers. As a five year old black child, I was and still am in love with "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck to adult's amusement. Didn't care or know what race, sex or color he was or the band. Loved James Brown, the Beatles, Hank Williams, Glenn Miller, Aretha, Dionne Warwick, etc., all with equal fervor. It disturbs me when people say they like an artist or genre of music in spite of their race. Really?? Just enjoy the blessings of gifted artists. You will love the music more.

Blue-eyed soul at its finest.

“Are you gonna wait for a sign, YOUR MIRACLE” 1:09 Love how he sings that part. So much passion!

Still listening to this song 2024, this is it!

Dad + son god is good Jesus is our lord and Savior amen

People don't write pop songs with this sweet complexity anymore... too bad.

This is a classic tune. It really brings back the good times of the early '80s.

Always loved this song as a kid. Still love it to this day.

This song is always amazing. The strings, the bass, the guitar, xylophone (i think) the lyrics, the cadence...everything.

Dam, i wish I had a time machine. I would like to go back to those days. back then. Music really help, because it were good

Lovin ❤ this song in 2024, 68 years young 😂

Bro’s voice is majestic

Hearing Michael’s back vocals… chills!!!!

Think he could win a grammy today?

Kenny is so smooth with backup singer Michael McDonald

I love Kenny Loggins. Man can blow, one of my favorites is heart to heart.

Wow, where do I start, this song is absolutely awesome from the musicians to the instruments and lyrics. This was my anthem in the 80s. I played this song every morning reflecting on my life and my relationships with all wow praising God for providing all of us with love and talents to inspire others. I would love to hear a instrumental version of this Song. Thank you Loggins and McDonald for your imagination, creativity and inspiration and work you put in to make this song. This is it. 🙏🏾

This song is Everything!- Kenny has inspired and influenced Sooo many artist. In all categories of Music. Just Brilliant

I didn't realize how versatile of a singer Kenny Loggins is. In Loggins and Messina he was more of a country/rock singer. On "This Is It" he's dabbling into funk and soul, and in the mid 80's he's was doing high octane pop rock. He was the soundtrack king in the 80's.

One of THEE MOST HEARTFUL, BEAUTIFUL & HEARTBREAKING Songs EVER. Kenny Loggins wrote this Song about his Father having n going through Cancer, the Same Time that My Father had n was going through Cancer. We Both lost Them to It. During that Time I was a Senior in Junior High School, that My Father had been Looking Very Forward to and Graduation. He wasn't there at Riverside Church on Graduation Day, which Still Haunts, Saddens and Hurts Me, 42 Years Later and Forever Will. DEEP SONG. GOD BLESS Kenny Loggins' FATHER & My DADDY. May Their SOULS BE AT REST IN POWER N IN ETERNAL PEACE IN PARADISE...🙏🏾👼🏾🤲🏾🕊🙌🏾😇

The hair, beard, shirt open… jamming… foggy stage… KENNY WAS 🔥🔥🔥!!!!

This video taught me that I need to bring my own smoke machine to the karaoke bar.

My mother was dying from lung cancer the year this song came out, I was 15 yrs old at the time .. this song touched me deeply..

K Log with the LEGENDARY Michael McDonald on backing vocals....there no way this could fail.

Kenny Loggin and Michael Macdonald sang this blockbuster song the lyrics was on the money because nobody knows what you know and knows what f the future holds THIS IS DEFINITELY IT !!! GOOD JOB WELL DONE !!! Richard and

What a beautiful song, glad i am not a teenager today, this was soulful music,

The king of movie soundtracks.

“Loggins and a McDonald, you’ve been chosen to make really smooth a music …”

HAPPY 76TH BIRTHDAY KENNETH "KENNY" LOGGINS (JANUARY 7, 2023)

This is it, your going no further, your back's to the corner I love this song.

One of the best vocalists from the 70s and a good song-writer too. His Celebrate Me Home album is very solid, creative with great melodies. This song is sensational although the video doesn't do it justice. Thanks Kenny for your creativity and contribution to good music.

THIS IS IT!! A TIMELESS CLASSIC SONG LOVE THE LYRICS ❤ RICHARD SHACKELFORD

in 1979 I was just three years old and I love this song as if I had enjoyed it in those years, and I experience it with songs even from previous years ... which has given me the idea that as babies they could hear these melodies but not conscious way of what we hear appreciating the melody, voice and all that ... and, even so, years after listening to them again, we like and awaken nostalgic feelings without understanding why, and I think it is because it was recorded in our very small brain. That made me understand why I am so melomana of this type of music that is not from my time! ... but I really enjoy it.

Carla Linton. I love Kenny Loggings. He is one of my favorite Male Artists of the seventies and eighties one of my favorite songs by Kenny Loggings is This Is IT.

This is one extremely underrated song, it's beautiful and fills my heart with the love of music. Thanks Kenny and Michael for one of the greatest songs ever created!!!

Miss hearing music like this on the radio. Good Times.

I’m listening to Kenny Loggins! This is a great song and his lyrics are timeless. Kirk Franklin made a great gospel song called The Fight of your Life from this song! Kenny has a great voice!!! I love this song!

+Everyone: Loggins decided to create this song,toTry to light a Fire under his Dad`s butt,to inspire him to come back from dying,while his dad was Dying in the Hospital Bed. Apparently it worked,because he came back,got healthier,and loved a bit longer.

Kenny Loggins. Que hombre tan bello. 😍😍😍😍😘

Some spots, dude sounds like Michael Jackson if you close your eyes! He's pretty awesome. I grew up listening to this kind of stuff because of my mom. I was born in 1972

Lyrics "This Is It" There've been times in my life I've been wonderin' why Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive Now, I'm not so sure You're waiting here One good reason to try But, what more can I say What's left to provide (You think that maybe it's over) (Only if you want it to be) Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle Stand up and fight (This is it) Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You back's to the corner (This is it) Don't be a fool anymore (This is it) The waiting is over, no, don't you run No way to hide No time for wonderin' why It's here, the moment is now, about to decide Let 'em believe Leave 'em behind But keep me near in your heart Know whatever you do I'm here by your side (You say that maybe it's over) (Not if you don't want it to be) For once in your life Here's your miracle Stand up and fight (This is it) Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it) Until it's over and done (No one can tell you what you know) Whoa-oh-ho, whoa-aaah (Who makes the choice of how it goes) It's not up to me this time (You know) Comes a day in every life (This is it) Make no mistake where you are (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it) Until it's over and done (This is it) One way or another (This is it) (No one can tell what the future holds) (This is it) Your back's to the corner (This is it) (You make the choice of how it goes) (This is it) The waiting is over (This is it) (No one can tell what the future holds) (This is it) You're goin' no further (This is it)

The intro. is so ill...groove.

This song has become a total classic. Most people love it.❤

This song is so relatable on so many levels.

Even as a little 8 year old girl I knew this song was it!!! Still gives me chill

I STILL have a major crush on Kenny. 6/18/2023

that outfit!!!!!!!!!!! stop. love it!!! the years that this man and his voice have been relevant is astonishing.

Just love Kenny Loggins music. It was a great help to me while I was in college. It has been a comfort to me too during very difficult times in my life. He's a very talented man. I'm happy he is now retiring and taking time for himself and his family. Although he will no longer be touring, his music will still be out there for all to enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent. We will miss you.

Two of the most recognizable voices in the same song - great stuff - great track
