Loggins and Messina played together for five years, amassing hit singles such as “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” “Watching the River Run,” “Danny’s Song,” “Love Song” and many others.

Loggins began his solo career in 1976, and his first three albums – Celebrate Me Home, Keep the Fire and Nightwatch - all went platinum. His hit singles included “Celebrate Me Home,” “This Is It,” “What A Fool Believes,” "Whenever I Call You Friend" featuring Stevie Nicks and more. In addition, Loggins received two Grammy Awards for “What A Fool Believes” and “This Is It.”
