      He is criminally underrated! The fact that he is not in the rock and roll hall of fame is a complete joke!

    As a little black 8 y/o girl in my predominantly black neighborhood I would get in my uncle's car and blast that song. I knew and understood the lyrics and meanings. I LOOOOVE MR. MICHAEL AND KENNY.

      same here as a 8 yo black boy back in 2004.
      Although I didnt research the kyrics until six years later and I realized it was about unrequited love

      The pair took home Grammies for that ditty. I remember watching live. If that song didn’t win, something was wrong on the planet.

    That is so awesome. All he did was mention Michael McDonald, and then hum the song, -I had not even read the inscription on the bottom of this thing, I knew instantly he was talking about the song What a fool Believes!! I've listened to that song probably fifty times in the past two months. It's always been my favorite of 'his.... [y'all's,I guess ha!] It is so cool to hear how that song was born. I love it!

    I first heard Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina when I bought their live vinyl that had House at Pooh Corner and other classics, then I bought a cassette of them together again. Just great soft rock and guitars from the ‘70’s into the ‘80’s and of course Michael M joined forces off his Doobie Brothers stint and the rest is history. Kenny punching through with the Top Gun theme will endure forever! I am very lucky to have shared the same time zone with these guys. Huge talent and nice people. 👍😎🇳🇿✨🌹
