My dad had the 45 single for this song and he would play the record over and over again. This song always makes me think of him. RIP Daddy.

Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks - Whenever I Call You Friend

“Celebrate me Home” by Loggins is beautiful and REALLY shows off his vocal skills! Awesome reaction. Thank you.

Kenny is in that Blue Eyed Soul club😊❤

I love Kenny Loggins, and this song is one of my favorites! ❤❤❤

W/ Michael McDonald who co-wrote this song on vocals too …

Kenny Loggins is where it’s at. He has an amazing voice!!

This one and "Heart to Heart" are my favorites of his.

Oh wait! “Danny’s Song”! It’s so beautiful!!!

Cowritten with Michael McDonald! They also co-wrote What A Fool Believes ! Mike sings on the chorus. Kenny is a real soul singer, IMO. ❤GREAT GREAT CHOICE! ❤❤❤ Kenny wrote the lyrics about his Dad who was fighting cancer. Kenny was the soundtrack king of the 80’s- Top Gun, Footloose , Caddyshack and so many more. Not a jingle writer. Fenom is right! There’s a fabulous live concert video of the two of them singing at The Redwood’s - these two songs! So soulful and jazzy!

If you were blown away by "This is It" wait until you hear "Heart to Heart! "

Celebrate Me Home is another beautiful Kenny Loggins song

If you liked this and you like Michael McDonald, you should check out “Minute by Minute” by The Doobie Brother ❤ another Kenny Loggins song that is pure fire is “Heart to Heart”, which was also co-written with Michael McDonald! They had some real hits together.

Some forty years later and this jam is still going strong.

Kenny Logins wrote and sang I'm alright, theme song in Cady Shack. He is so versatile.

Kenny Loggins has definitely mastered his craft. ❤

Kenny was also the gorgeous voice right before Steve Perry in the original We are the World.

Kenny was the king of soundtrack hits in the 80's!!!

From Songfacts: Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald wrote this after Kenny's father had a serious heart problem and didn't know what to do about it. So they came up with this song about a man who is suffering terrible pain, looks to find his miracle and needs to "stand up and fight." After Loggins won a Grammy for the song in 1981 (Best Male Pop Vocal) he played it for his father, who lived four more years. Michael McDonald sang backup and played keyboards on the track. The two also collaborated on "What a Fool Believes." McDonald would go on to write several other songs for Loggins (and vice versa). Kenny Loggins spoke to American Songwriter magazine November/December 1987 about this song: "The best musical statements are usually the ones that aren't calculated and the ones that come out in the largest chunks. Michael McDonald and I must have written 'This Is It' four times. The first three times it was a love song, 'Baby I this, baby I that…,' and we both said, 'Eh! This is boring. This song is not working as a love song.' Then I had a fight with my dad when he was going into the hospital because he gave me the feeling that he was ready to check out. He'd given up, he wasn't thinking in terms of the future, and I was so pissed at him. It was real emotional. That afternoon, I was meeting with Michael to work on new tunes and I walked in and said, 'Man, I got it. It's 'This Is It.' And Michael said, 'This is it?' I said, 'Trust me. This is it.' But that one took a while. And then one review said it was your average boy-girl song and the writer didn't understand why people were making such a big deal out of it. The fact of the matter was, he didn't understand the song and it didn't move him because he wasn't in a situation to be moved. But immediately after that, I got a letter from a girl who had just recently gotten out of the hospital from a life-and-death situation and that was her anthem. She was holding onto it. That means so much more to me. She hadn't read the press about my father or anything. All she knew was that the song was on the nose for her, exactly what Michael and I intended. That makes you feel like you're doing something important."

You guys need to react to Kenny's real early hit "I Believe In Love" from his 1977 LP "Celebrate Me Home" -- that song is pure FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥

Hard to believe Corey hadn’t heard it. It is fire. So glad you all got to hear this! 😊

Its always reminds me of something that Michael Jackson could have sung because those silk vocals reminded me of Michael. Great song

All timer vibes , gents . Thanks for your appreciation of excellence .

Heart to Heart should be your next Kenny Loggins song 🎵 🎶🎶

Give Your Mama Don’t Dance and Your Daddy Don’t Rock and Roll for some of his pre soundtrack career.

At the end of the College Basketball Championship they play a song called 1 Shining Moment. But when I grew up with Magic and Jordan and Ewing And Iverson playing college basketball “THIS IS IT” was the song they used to show the tournament highlights. They need to go back to this song

Same Kenny Loggins who sang Highway to the danger zone from the movie Top Gun

Fellas I got to C Kenny Loggins live in downtown O-town n this cat was bad ass n the crowd went wild. This guy has a voice n he has great music that U guys have to continue to react to.

Oh Lord, what a memories this era brings up! Super Reactions! I think it was 1978, the winery where my mom worked had a huge meeting at the, "Miyako Hotel" in San Francisco. Me, my sister and dad got on the elevator and Kenny Loggins with several other band members were in there. Being a kid what I remember is, they were very gracious. They said, Hello and just talked and laughed. I think "When Ever I Call You Friend" was on the charts. The 70's were just different. Thank you for this memory today. Peace and God Bless

Keith Smart Indiana was 1987 MVP beat Syracuse by 1 and they PLAYED “THIS IS IT”.Answered WITHOUT GOOGLE. Love your channel. I’m 58

He started out with Jim Messina in the early 70s and formed Loggings and Messina and a great song called Angry Eyes you should put on the list ..Also check out Gino Vanneli and the album Brother To Brother from 1978 and that mother will make your jaw drop..It has a huge sound production , just listen to the whole album and the hit from that was''''''''' I Just Wanna Stop'''' .

"Don't Fight It" was a duet with Kenny and Steve Perry (of Journey) that I bet you'll enjoy.

You can get with this or you can get with that !

Love Kenny Loggins. What a voice

Hello from Nederlands! Love your chanel, as a sugestion ... Heart to heart from Kenny Loggins, and he makes a footloose cover in Live From Daryll Halls House show, it was great! 🥰

Loggins is a legend with over 50 unforgettable tunes as a solo artist and with Loggins and Messina. Try his holiday song called Celebrate Me Home, I Believe In Love, What a Fool believes, Conviction of The Heart, Danny’s Song, Vahevala, Angry Eyes, and House at Pooh Corner. I saw Kenny perform live twice as A solo act and once on a reunion tour with Jim Messina!

If I'm remembering correctly, the San Francisco 49ers used this as their inspirational song for their first SuperBowl run.

Talented man

I’ll second on Loggins and Messina, “Your Mama Don’t Dance”, and add “My Music”, from the same album. Two great pieces of music from the early 70’s.

Listen, I’m 53 years old. I listen to a lot of music. I have my favorites except Country. I do not like Country but I grew up in Miami during the freestyle days I love freestyle I love dance music I love hip-hop. I love R&B but you know what I love yacht rockand I love the 70s 80s love songs I grew up listening to Kenny Loggins and he’s fucking amazing

Kenny and Michael McDonald do an amazing live version of What A Fool Believes from Kenny's Live from the Redwoods concert. Please look it up, it's the best version of the song IMO. Love ya guys!

Kenny Loggins is fantastic!! Next up should be Heart to Heart. It is 🔥 🔥 🔥

this was a really good example of what makes reaction videos so fun - new music appreciation, surprises, assumptions destroyed etc. thanks guys - keep it going! peace.

Love Will Follow by Kenny Loggins is a super jam!

Listen to Loggins and Messina “Your Mama Don’t Dance”. That’s a good one from my childhood.

Omg where were you, under a rock!!??

You guys are awesome! Try "Celebrate me home" it's great for the Holiday's!

The official song of Final Four weekend during March Madness

It's a great song, and yes that was Michael McDonald singing in there too. You should check out Loggin's and Messina - Angry Eyes. You will not be disappointed. And, the next time I see yall, you better have the taco meat out.

My fave of Kenny’s! Saw him at Red Rocks 2nd row. Warmed up in jeans, performed in a neon green jumpsuit. Bestie &I wanted him back in jeans.

One of the BEST songs!!!! ❤❤❤ It IS like Silk! ❤

You can hear Michael McDonald in that song in the background.

Kenny Loggins is one of my all time favorite artists. And I'm excluding all the commercially successful songs! Starting in the 70s with Loggins and Messina to his astounding solo album, Celebrate Me Home, and on and on... I highly recommend trying Angry Eyes by Loggins and Messina. There's a live reunion performance that's good, but to my ears (and soul), the live performance from a 70s concert album is so much more satisfying. There are also great performances of Back to Georgia and Nobody But You on that album. Plus, get a load of Kenny's voice on the Trilogy: Lovin' Me - Make a Woman Feel Wanted - Peace of Mind. It stills blows my mind that he's that good live. And try some standouts from his first solo album like the title track, Celebrate Me Home, Lady Luck, Why Do People Lie, and one of my absolute favorites, Daddy's Back. His vocal range and creativity is gonna knock you out. There are videos available from some awesome live concerts (from gorgeous outdoor locations like Red Rocks) that I think you'd love. I'd love to see you react to at least one song - Kenny and Michael McDonald doing an interesting version of What a Fool Believes. It's perfection. And it's a song they individually recorded. Both were hits. I could go on and on. But I really do highly recommend starting with his earlier work. I think it will build tremendous respect for his talent. As the years went on, I connected more sporadically with his music.

Kenny is the 80's Movie soundtrack guru and possibly the best movie singer song writer ever!!!

Huge Kenny Loggins fan. If you like his voice you should check him with Jim Messina..

Love this

For a great R&B style Xmas song- do Kenny’s “ Celebrate Me Home”.

From the same album, check the deep track, Who's Right, Who's Wrong, with Michael Jackson on backing vocals...

Kenny Loggins - Vox Humana

I didn’t know this song. It’s funky as hell and I love it!

I can't be theonly one that, when I hang out with you guys, this song comes to mind. ❤️✌️

Transport song for me. Love it.

OHHHHHH Let's Go

Your theme song!!!!!❤❤❤

Please react to Kenny Loggins' "Celebrate Me Home" (Live from the Grand Canyon 1992). This is the best version of the song, and I just know you'll appreciate it. I've been a fan forever, and even I was blown away when I heard and saw it. Thanks! I love your reactions!

I LOVE MY MAN COREY ROY YOUR NOLA SOUTHERN BELLE 🔔 LOVE YA RTHYM AND REACTION... SMOOTH

Check out his song with Stevie Nicks, Whenever I Call You Friend.

It’s funny you should mention jingle writers being that it was announced on the news in the late 90s that they were all being fired and the department shut down. Just not going to use them anymore. Heard any lately? I guess ‘Skyrizi’ could count.

Love love this song! I wore this album out as a 13 yr old - y’all need to listen to Vahevela by Loggins and Messina too and I dunno if you already hit Peg by Steely Dan for more luscious Michael McDonald backing vocals and hip hop heads will recognize the hook ☺️

Your Michael McDonald is perfect 😂

That's Michael McDonald doing the secondary voice.......he co-wrote this with Kenny

You all are cute!😂❤😂❤

Kenny did multiple songs for both Top Gun and Footloose. Check out their soundtracks.

please do more Kenny Loggins- so many great bluesy songs.

If you haven't heard MMcD's harmonizing in Peg by Steely Dan you should. Six part harmony with himself - he said it was the most difficult song he's ever worked on.

Kenny Loggins & Shanice "Love will follow" Live frpm the Redwoods. A GREAT DUET.Check it !!!!

Aside from just being a good song on its own, this one’s notable to me as the sample for “We Will Survive” by Nas of his “I Am…” album, like was mentioned. Great sample.

Love your reaction to this song❤❤❤

Please check out the band - Player - Baby Come Back! Awesome 70's Classic Rock

This was also the "theme song" for the 1979 NCAA Basketball Championships with Bird and Magic on CBS TV.

Definately check out his Farewell Tour live of this song! Just look it up! Banger! Watch the radio edit as well!

Kirk Franklin used the "This Is It" sample for gospel. It was dope and you should check it out.

He also did the song in Stallones Over the Top

Great reaction channel. Keep it going gentlemen. Sure to grow.

Heard he wrote it for his dad that was battling cancer.

Sounds like Michael McDonald backup

Kenny Loggins & Gladys Knight - "Double Or Nothing" from the Rocky IV soundtrack.

Thought you might recognize this as CBS used it for NCAA Final Four theme for years. Is Michael McDonald on background. Check out him and Stevie Nicks duet “Whenever I Call You Friend”.

Check out *'Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina - Danny's Song'* and Kenny Loggins *'Whenever I Call You Friend'*

Listen to this song on the In the Redwoods album. Michael is there. You may want to hear the whole In the Redwoods album

Mike was busy with the doobies again at the time when Kenny did this he did some work and that's Mike that cowrote this with Kenny and that's him singing background on track he just doesn't appear in the video

Don't forget about Over The Top with Sylvestor Stallone

You guys got to do the live version with Daryl Hall from

When I was a child I thought it was Michael Jackson at the beginning. 😂

OMG, Corey! I think you've heard it & didn't realize it. This is 1 of my favorites. I think they got a Grammy for this. Please check out when Kenny was performing a concert in the forest. They sang Return to Pooh Corner abt Winnie the Pooh. Shanice Wilson performed together. It was fantastic! His a$$ is UNDERRATED! I've never understood it. Christopher Cross too. Kenny wrote this for his Dad when he was dying. Pls check out kenny loggins & El DeBarge's song I'll Be There. You'll love it.

LOGGINS STARTED AS A DUO "LOGGINS & MESSINA". CHECK THEM OUT!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 KENNY HAS DPNE MANY MOVIE SONGS!!!❤❤❤

Barry Manilow was a jingle writer

Another absolutely fire version of this song is from Kenny’s “Outside From The Redwoods” concert. I usually prefer the studio version of just about any song, but that is one of those live performances that is so damn good I like it just as much, if not more sometimes, than the studio version. Here’s a link for those that are interested.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdSCq5mUzN3RqX0.htmlsi=OuT1LcXm2Hj_MySz
