Just attended a small venue concert of Kenny's in Phoenix last night (10-28-07). This article seems to portray him as a "soft rock" artist, which some of his songs certainly are, but I would classify him solidly as a rock artist. Especially after hearing him live, while there are certainly soft parts to his repertoire, there were many things that were definately bordering on hard rock. Actually, one of the best well rounded singer/musicians I've heard in a while, and certainly not soft rock!

[edit] Danny's song origin?

Was this actually written for Anne Murray or was it just a song he wrote? The article states that it was recorded by one artist, then Loggins with no mention of Anne Murray. However, she is later mentioned as the person the song was "penned for." What's the truth? He wrote it for his older brother Dan's son. Dan Loggins co-wrote the Loggins & Messina song "Valhevala". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.21.18.82 (talk) 12:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Related to Dave Loggins?

Does anyone know if Kenny Loggins is related to Dave Loggins who recorded the song "Please Come to Boston"? It would be an interesting factoid for the article. :-) Frecklefoot | Talk 16:16, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

As I understand it, they are cousins. Rich 06:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Many websites attest to this.

[edit] Cleanup

Having spent some time cleaning up the discography section I'm wondering if it's been cleaned up sufficiently for the "this section may require cleanup" notice to be removed.

[edit] Biography section

The biography section seems obsessed with Kenny's movie contribution at the expense of his non-movie output, there is a passing mention for "Forever" but whole swathes of his 80s output are ignored. I am hoping to add stuff on this if that is OK, I am a huge fan so it will be sympathetically merged in with the existing content. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by John Thompson (talk • contribs) 01:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] St. Elmo's fire

This page lists the song from the movie of the same name, but I'm pretty sure it's by John Parr (which is also what the St. Elmo's fire page says).

[edit] apparently loggins cures diseases with his music!
