Singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins joins Margaret Hoover to talk about his new memoir “Still Alright,” his five decades in the music industry, and what’s next for his legendary career.
Loggins details a songwriting process that has produced iconic songs since he was a teenager, including “Danny’s Song” and “House at Pooh Corner.” He also opens up about his creative and personal struggles, as well as his battle with addiction to anti-anxiety drugs.
The musician discusses his work on soundtracks for hit films like “Footloose,” “Caddyshack,” and “Top Gun,” as well as the re-emergence of his song “Danger Zone” in this summer’s “Top Gun: Maverick.”
Loggins also reflects on what it was like inside the studio recording “We Are the World” with Michael Jackson and some of the other biggest names in music, the changes the industry has undergone in the digital age, and the prospect of collaborating with talented upcoming artists.
