EP 292: Gilbert and Frank welcome Grammy and Emmy-winning singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins for a revealing conversation about the rewards of collaboration, the mystery of the creative process, the challenges of penning songs for movies like “Top Gun” and “Footloose” and his “accidental” partnership with writer-producer Jim Messina. Also, Kenny auditions for “Hair,” mimics Bob Dylan (and Tina Turner!) steers clear of the disco era and teams with Richard Marx, Stevie Nicks and Michael McDonald. PLUS: Stealer’s Wheel! The genius of Clive Davis! Rick Cowling sits in! Gilbert auditions for “Caddyshack II”! And Kenny (and Gilbert) guest star on “Family Guy”!
Another great episode featuring a musical guest, with Kenny Loggins playing numerous songs as well as a duet with Gilbert of Footloose. Highly recommend a listen along with other music themed episodes such as EP 286 with Stephen Bishop, EP 270 with Neil Sedaka, EP 253 with Shep Gordon, EP 105 with Tony Orlando, Ep 58 with Paul Williams and Ep 20 with Weird Al Yankovic.
