Kenny Loggins' career began as he went to work for ABC/Wingate after a brief time as a guitarist for the rock band Electric Prunes. His first song for ABC/Wingate was House at Pooh Corner, which became one of several hits for the album
Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy
, released by the
Nitty Gritty Band
. While still working for ABC/Wingate, Loggins formed a partnership with Jim Messina. Their first album,
Kenny Loggins With Jim Messina Sittin' In
, featured Loggins' own version of Pooh Corner and also the ballad Danny's Song. Danny's Song was inspired by the birth of Loggins' brother's first child. Loggins and Messina released an album every year from 1971 to 1976, at which time Loggins began his solo career.

King of the movie soundtrack, Loggins has written the songs I'm Alright (
Caddyshack
), Footloose (
Footloose
), Danger Zone (
Top Gun
) and Nobody's Fool (
Caddyshack II
). But, not everyone knows the stories behind these hits. Film producer Jon Peters invited Loggins to see a rough cut of
Caddyshack
, and Loggins then penned the infamous smash hit I'm Alright. The story behind Footloose is that a friend asked Loggins to write some material for the movie, which hadn't even been made yet. He quickly offered up the No. 1 chart-topping song derived from a song he had been just playing around with, and it was a perfect jumping-off point for the final version of the song Footloose.
''Loggins has written and sung many popular songs that continue to be popular today. Footloose, I'm Alright, Whenever I Call You Friend, This Is It, Heart to Heart and many other songs are perennial favorites for everyone.'
