Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow the Greatest Hits of Kenny Loggins ReviewThere was life yet for Kenny Loggins following the amicable split of Loggins and Messina. His solo career lasted well into the 90's. The first two songs here characterize a lighter feel, with some classic disco-type string synths. Keep The Fire's "This Is It" was one of two songs co-written with Michael McDonald, the other one, "What A Fool Believes", being a hit for the Doobies. A song describing a momentous decision, this was inspired by Loggins' father undergoing an ordeal and choosing life over death.
"Whenever I Call You 'Friend'", from his Nightwatch album, features Stevie Nicks on harmony vocals and was a US Top Ten hit. It starts slow, but from the refrain, the tempo bursts into a classic disco beat. There's also a nice sax solo in the middle. This song was co-written with Melissa Manchester.
The jaunty mid-tempo piano number "Heart To Heart" has a 70's R&B feel to it. This features Michael McDonald on the Rhodes piano, and on backing vocals, Richard Page and Steve George, who would later fly on their broken wings to form Mr. Mister.
Loggins made his heyday in the 1980's by being "Mr. Soundtrack," most of them which hit the Top Ten. That started with "I'm Alright" from Caddyshack, whose fun stomping tone set the pace for the movie and finally yielded a tune obviously bogus gophers could shake to. Then there's the thumping drums and surf guitar of "Footloose" which topped the US charts, and the sizzling and roaring rock guitar and a sound and lyrics that mirrored the aura of zipping in the sky at who-knows-how-many-miles-an-hour of Top Gun's "Danger Zone." Those latter two were two songs I associated with Kenny Loggins.
The next soundtrack song I remember well is his ballad "Meet Me Halfway" from the Over The Top soundtrack, also on his Avalon album. Like "Danger Zone," the music was written by Giorgio Moroder. Unfortunately, "Nobody's Fool" from Caddyshack II and also on Avalon, is not included here.
The most heartmelting tune here is "Return To Pooh Corner", the sequel to his song "House At Pooh Corner" which the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band covered. A nostalgic return to a childhood long gone, symbolized by the house on Pooh Corner, with "so much to be done/count all the bees in the hive/chase all the clouds from the sky" Amy Grant provides guest vocals and Mr. Mister's keyboardist Steve George is the backing vocalist.
The highly energetic "Don't Fight It," a duet with Steve Perry, like "Heart To Heart" is taken from 1982's High Adventure, and ushers in Loggins' rock era before "Danger Zone." It's a combination 70's rocker with a Journey sound in the choruses. That's Neil Gerardo, Pat Benatar's producer and husband on lead rhythm guitar.
The ballad "Forever" was another song I remember during my 80's days, from the Vox Humana album, and it has a characteristic guitar snarl that takes it to power ballad territory in the chorus, courtesy of Toto's Steve Lukather.
The introspection and deeper feelings Loggins began on "Return To Pooh Corner" continued on two songs from Leap Of Faith. One of them was the environmental movement anthem "Conviction Of The Heart" which he performed on Earth Day 95 at the Mall in D.C. The other is "The Real Thing" for his daughter's christening.
"For The First Time" saw Loggins returning to soundtrack music, providing a ballad laden with string arrangements for One Fine Day starring George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The title track from his solo debut, "Celebrate Me Home" is a laid-back piano ballad that eventually became a Christmas song of sorts.
A worthy collection that takes all shades of Loggins, hit soundtrack songs, ballads, more personal and introspective songs, and that wished for return to Pooh Corner.Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow the Greatest Hits of Kenny Loggins OverviewNo Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: LOGGINS,KENNYTitle: YESTERDAY TODAY TOMORROW GREATStreet Release Date: 03/25/1997
