Loggins & Messina: The Accidental Duo
June 5th, 2009
Before Batman and Robin, before Ace and Gary and even before Green Hornet and Kato (okay maybe a little bit after), there was Loggins and Messina. For the unfamiliar and unaware, the demise of this pair of superhero smoothists was an unfortunate result of battling egos rivaling those of Napoleanic times.
Before they were divorced of each other’s smoothness, they were The Best of Friends. Often described as an “accidental duo”, no one can deny the magic that these two innovators created. Here is perhaps the most famous song from that same album. Enjoy the hug and tug times!
Look out for the return of this accidental duo in 2009! Check out the Loggins and Messina website for Tour dates.

A match made in heaven: Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry make all your troubles go away.
Some people when they hear a groove
Shake their heads ’cause they just can’t approve
Well, I turn up the music till it’s
shakin’ the sky
Is everybody ready to move?
Seriously, don’t fight it. It’ll do your heart so good.

The year was 1981. Believing the Chicago was to no longer be commercially viable, Columbia Records dropped them from its roster and released a second “Greatest Hits” volume later that year to fulfill its contractual obligation.
Luckily after getting the help of from david foster and three members of toto, chicago made their album Chicago 16.
After this album 70’s Chicago became 80’s Chicago.
In particular, they made their first of many “smooth?” hit.

Hey folks,
Do you recall the yacht rock episode “rosanna” where a horny member of Toto attempts to convince Michael McDonald to help make a song so that he would attain root chakra(sp?) allignment? (To refresh your memory watch this)
If so, my posting of the video below will make some sense. Either way, enjoy it while it is still up.

Hello Smooth Music fans
For my 1st ever post on this site, i would like to to recall the penultimate (second last) episode of Yacht Rock where Gene Balboa says sarcastically “have fun at pooh con”.
I later found out that one of the big reasons for that reference was the following song by Loggins and Messina from their first album together (Sittin’ In 1971)
Enjoy the following performance.

Some delicious Canadian smoothness from Marc Jordan to wind up your Saturday Night. Someone described this as being the poor Canadian’s answer to Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville”, which is totally unbelievable… the guy is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, how smooth is that?

We’re coming back from the dead.. And to kick it off, Journey blows the minds of small town girls everywhere. Plus, in case you weren’t aware, this song was the background music for the 1982 Atari video game Journey Escape!

Oh, Carter, won’t you dance with me? I hope that you are willing to pick the beat up, and pick your feet up. Listen to this, the penultimate of peanut buttery smoothness. Save the last dance for me.
