    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."

    Kenny Loggins recorded a duet with Stevie Nicks titled
    "Whenever I Call You Friend.
    It was late 70s and Loggins and Messina had gone separate ways. Stevie was just starting to think of branching out away from Fleetwood Mac .
    So she recommended a duet with Kenny Loggins and another one with a guy named John Stewart called "Gold" .

    Michael Mcdonald did backup vocals for SO many artists that they actually made a hilarious skit for him when he was on Saturday Night Live where he was in a limo, would pull up in front of a music studio, sing a riff, run back out, jump back into the limo, and go on to the next studio and do the exact same riff. I don't remember how many times this repeated, but I definitely remember laughing my butt off!

      Kenny Loggins (along with Loggins &. Messina) had more hits in the 70s and early 80s than the later 80s. His 2 Grammys were won in 1980 and 1981. Not at all "underrated". He was making award winning music way before his movie soundtrack era.

Years later, as a dad, he took the original and added a final verse, calling it " Return to Pooh Corner", making it perfect in my opinion. It is one of my all time favorite songs across all genres.

    For all of us University of Louisville Cardinal basketball fans old enough to remember, this song brings back some extra special memories. Besides it just being a great song it was used for the championship game back in 1980 when Louisville won their first championship. It would be several years later before they began using "One Shining Moment". As others have pointed out Michael McDonald is singing background vocals. While not exactly a duet, Kenny did duets with a lot of great artists. You might want to check out "House at Pooh Corner" he did with Amy Grant, "Whenever I Call You Friend" with Stevie Nicks, and "Don't Fight It" with Journey's Steve Perry.

    Loggins and Messina's Angry Eyes is outstanding.

    @bertisjordan1085 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Michael McDonald on backing vocals. Michael was on SO MANY hits during the 80's. I think this was written for Kenny's father. It was a huge hit. I think the NCAA used it for the theme of the basketball tournament that year.

    I've gotten bad about waiting until all 3 songs are posted before I listen. Lol. Love this song! Wasn't sure which one you were going to react to, since you put the album name Keep The Fire in the header. This Is It is such a great song! Glad you had fun in your travels! :)

    This was composed to his very sick father, who died a few years after. The background vocals are by legend Michael McDonalds.

  • @shirleyjones9460

    The lyrics are so inspirational. I'm big on the lyrics of songs. This one always grabs me. I love the Michael McDonald vocals too.

  • @furryfriendsfairydust5595

    Kenny Loggins has a children’s CD that is beautiful. “All the pretty ponies” “Rainbow connection” “ Never Never Land”. I think it’s titled Return to Pooh Corner. It’s a lot of famous children’s movies songs.

  • @theadviser123
    @theadviser123 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another great song by Kenny is "I've got the melody" . It's perfect for you guys because the two of you have the melody in your hearts.

    When I was a kid my dad would play this album a lot. I thought the guy on the cover was Jesus lol. I have trouble listening to Kenny Loggins these days because my dad passed away a few years ago. It's too nostalgic and usually makes me cry. And while I did cry throughout the first part of the reaction I wanted to see what you guys thought bad enough that I got it together around the 4 minute mark lol. It was nice to hear it again, thank you.

    • @joelliebler5690
      @joelliebler5690 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry for your loss though playing Kenny’s music could only bring back the love you had for your dad.

    Kenny really established himself as an original artist when this song was released back in 79. Really a R&B and Soul influenced sound in his music.

  • @wendell6468
    @wendell6468 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    this song was used at the intro to the 1980 NCAA Finals between Louisville and UCLA. EVERY TIME i hear this song i think of that intro...
    if you listen closely with your eyes closed, at the beginning, he sounds like Michael Jackson.

  • @BoondockSaintts_007
    @BoondockSaintts_007 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Love seeing the musical journey you guys are on.
    Female artist T'Pau - Heart and Soul
    New band suggestion - Dave Matthews Band - #41 - LIVE - 6.22.18 XFinity Center Mansfield, MA - there are several versions of just this one song. They've got plenty of songs to choose from. Most of their live stuff is better than the album. Hardly ever play the same song the same way. Great musical talent. Not everyone will like them though.

  • @minervalopez3145

    Another great song of his is Forever. Really showcases his voice.

    React to Kenny’s “I Believe In Love” and “Forever”. Two of my favorites from him.

  • @jamiemann2262
    @jamiemann2262 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice. In 1982, we marched in our high school baccalaureate ceremony to This is It which was a fav of mine at the time. I was very surprised and elated. I'm a huge Kenny Loggins fan. Love Michael McDonald as well. Might I suggest Kenny's Sweet Reunion? Also, Michael McDonald did a couple of Motown cover CD collections- definitely worth a look as well. Thank you for the journey down memory lane.

  • @robduncan2816
    @robduncan2816 ปีที่แล้ว +4

  • @kristinesmith7339
    @kristinesmith7339 ปีที่แล้ว

    FYI…This Is It song features additional vocals by Michael McDonald, who co-wrote the song with Loggins. The song won a Grammy Award in 1981 for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

  • @michaelmiller3980

    Man, you two have been on a roll lately... Christopher Cross 'Sailing', Michael McDonald 'I keep forgettin', and now Kenny Loggins with 'This is it'! All of these songs are Classics from my era. There's a reason they still get air play 30, 40, 50 years later... because they're good! Happy to see you enjoying them. Cheers!

  • @kianpepper63

    @mindybrylowe5077 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had to put this random thought out here for the two of you. You keep saying that you were born in the wrong generation because of the music that you keep learning about that you never heard before. You're doing a good thing by making sure that this music is not going to be lost by carrying it into the future generations. So no you weren't born in the wrong generation. Keep doing what you're doing and keep this music alive!!! You two are very awesome. Love you guys and your channel!!!

    Thanks so much kids. I've only been requesting this song for a year now. My favorite Kenny song. And pay attention to the background vocals, it's the amazing Michael McDonald.

  • @darrencrafton4799

    There is a story behind this song. His father was very Ill and had given up so Kenny wrote this to encourage him. Of course Michael McDonnell is the backing vocal.

  • @kikialdrich4574

    The K. Loggins rabbit hole:
    L&M -- Six studio albums (one of them covers); two live albums
    KL -- Fourteen studio albums (one for Christmas, three for kids); two live albums
    More than 20 hours of music.
    And if you want some R&B Kenny, from this same album; Who's Right, Who's Wrong, with Michael Jackson doing background vocals. From his fifth album; I'm Gonna Do Right, with the Pointer Sisters.
    For some great duets:
    Whenever I Call You Friend -- Stevie Nicks
    I Would Do Anything -- Sheryl Crow
    I've Got the Melody (Deep In My Heart) -- Patty Austin
    We're Children -- Phoebe Snow (from her album, Never Letting Go)
    Two of Us -- A Beatles song for a reunion with Jim Messina on Kenny's last album
    And if you want to rock out:
    I'm Alright
    Lady Luck
    Somebody Knows
    Love Has Come of Age
    Don't Fight it
    Swear Your Love
    I could go on and on, but I won't. For now.
    Love you guys! Thanks for giving us so much joy!

  • @brucesabourin3575
    @brucesabourin3575 ปีที่แล้ว

    Saw Kenny Loggins live a few times solo and with Jim Messina. He was doing an interview at a radio station when he was in town for a concert, so I went there and waited in the lobby and he came out of the elevator and I got an autograph for my wife. She was all excited. He has a great voice and was great in concert.

    For "Female Friday", I'd like to suggest a song that was a huge hit in the 60's. Gale Garnett "We'll Sing In The Sunshine". I'd probably describe it as an early Folk sound. Maybe like the 50's meets Folk songs of the 60's. That's just my take. But, it is a really beautiful song that will put a smile on your face. Thanks
