Long before he wrote songs for movies about an elite school of U.S. Air Force cadets, golf hijinks or small towns that outlawed teenage dancing; before he donned the kind of flat-top haircut you could set your watch to; and definitely before he published a book of poetry about the woman he fell in love with -- a woman who administered colonics to him in a professional colonics clinic -- Kenny Loggins was a full-blown country rocker. In fact, in the 1970s he wrote songs for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. These twangy ditties caught the ear of Poco's Jim Messina, and the two formed Loggins & Messina. They cranked out a few country-tinged soft rock albums before disbanding in 1976, leaving Loggins to a life of writing and recording songs for movies and his solo albums (which are admirable works in their own right). And then there's his poetry?

About The Kenny Loggins
Kenny Loggins (born January 7, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter. He was born in Everett, Washington. His career spans several decades, namely the latter half of the 1970s, the 1980s, and the early 1990s.
Loggins began his career in the 1970s, and after catching the attention of fellow singer-songwriter Jim Messina, the two began a duo career that would last until 1976. In 1977, Loggins went on to produce his first solo album, Celebrate Me Home, which included the hit "This is It". Nightwatch, a popular album released in 1978, included the hit "Whenever I Call You Friend".
Over the next decade, Loggins produced many hit songs for movie soundtracks. This began with "I'm Alright" from Caddyshack. Hits followed with "Footloose" from the film of the same name, "Meet Me Halfway" from Over the Top, and "Danger Zone", from Top Gun. All of these songs remain an integral part of American popular culture.
In the 1990s, Loggins continued his album career, including the popular 1994 children's album, Return to Pooh Corner, which included the emotionally touching single "House at Pooh Corner", actually a remake of his top 40 hit from 1969. Loggins also produced a song called "Forever", which would become an internationally recognized piece, translated into several languages.
In 1991, Loggins recorded and produced Leap of Faith, an important album in his career featuring the hit "Conviction of the Heart." Former Vice-President Al Gore billed this song as "the unofficial anthem of the environmental movement." On Earth Day in 1995, Loggins performed at The National Mall in Washington, D.C. for a live audience of 500,000. In recent years, Loggins has continued to produce within the Adult contemporary genre, but the light-hearted, jazzy rock that personifies his past career will not be lost.
