The band was from the UK, the song never says anything about war, yet, for some reason, this song was regarded as a Vietnam War protest song here in America back then. Go figure!

Kenny Loggins is one of the best male vocalists around. Back in the 80’s, he had some awesome solo albums come out and I wore out my vinyl copies. The best songs, in my opinion, were the deep dives that weren’t played on the radio. That said, I highly recommend Celebrate Me Home, which was a popular song back then, and his unique singing style really shines through.

The next logical song to follow this is House at Pooh Corner

I know it's a great riff but the lyrics are 70% of the song

You should pair up and listen to Watching The River Run and Thinking Of You, together. They're both relatively short, totaling just under 6 minutes if played consecutively, and they offer a nice contrast between the different stylings of Loggins & Messina. One being an upbeat love song, and the other being a cryptic "journey of life together" song.

I haven't listened to this live version for decades. I'd forgotten just how stunning it is. Jack Bruce vocals and bass playing at their very best. You can tell from all that rhythmic improv that Bruce and Baker learned their chops as Jazzers. They were stalwarts of the British jazz scene before they ever became Rock/Blues icons.

Back when this song came out, my then wife and her best friend would sing this on camping trips. They weren't Loggins and Messina, but they did it justice.

❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔😢I always have a small tear running down my cheek every time I hear this song . I have listened to it for 50+ years I cry every time.

Love this duo from the 70's. Had their albums. They had a lot of great songs such as "House At Pooh Corner", "Your Mama Don't Dance", "Thinking Of You", "My Music", "Angry Eyes", "Watching The River Run", "Vahevala", "Lahaina", "Sailin' The Wind", "Pathway To Glory" etc. "Danny's Song" was written by Kenny Loggins as a gift for his brother Danny for the birth of his son Colin. Anne Murray also had a hit version of this song in 1972.

Could you please react to Canadian singer Anne Murray’s version of this song. Her version was in the top 10 of 3 major billboard charts in 1973.

Highly recommend Loggins and Messina: Angry Eyes. Recorded or live version. Sexy as hell.

What a big beautiful song.

Keith Whitley did this song, the song came out after his death

This is imo one of John Denver’s most underrated songs

Check out the 1975 live version at the Rainbow--almost better than this one 🙂

Hi Shawn. You should hear the album "Crime of the Century" ❤❤❤

I told my wife I want this song played at funeral.

One of my absolute favorites from that era....

This great tune used to be the theme tune of the UK's most popular current affairs programme in the 80s "Weekend World".

Check out Stripped❤

Horribly underrated band.. seriously had some great bangers.

White Queen Live at Hammersmith is the one I liked best!!❤❤❤❤Freddie Forever of course Freddie can do no wrong LOL❤❤❤❤

Big song, you do such a good job of describing your reactions.

Ya Garth was a huge kiss fan growing up and oddly enough gene was a big fan of Garth so it was kiss that asked him to do it and is the only country singer on the album

Young Michael young voice.

And the kids wonder why we danced… 😁💖

Nobel Prize level.

Not to nitpick but you read the info wrong, you said third album Violator , should have been third single off of violator which was their 7th album..

Great request from Letitia for MARMALADE - Reflections Of My Life. Great taste in music from the heart.

If you don't like the HC punk genre, there's no point in listening to it. Many comments compare this cover with similar psychedelic/progressive ones, which makes no sense. Originally a hippie song for laid-back trips, Huskers turned it into a sonic storm. The live version (Camden 1985) is even wilder. But if you don't like this type of music, it's obvious that it will be "too loud".

Im not sure, but i THINK...George likes to drink alone. Lol. Nice one brother ☘️🇺🇲

Prayers for all the suffering

My favorite by him and I love them all

I have never heardthe full version, I had only heard the single version. What a beautiful surprise.

A wonderful Blues song, Mark Knopfler playing amazingly well, such a beautiful tone and so much feeling and emotion than most other players.

I wore this record out when it came out, still love these lyrics.

I'm sure The Kinks receive millions just for this song.

Pay attention to Ginger Baker's drumming on this song. It's deceptively simple on guitar and bass, and believe me it's not so simple, but Baker's fills carry the song more than anyone first hears.

One of the perfect songs of my life. 1969 was a very good year.

Many years ago, my wife and I were thinking about what music we wanted to be played at our funerals. We both decided that this was the must be played tune at both of ours. Four years ago, this was the only song that I had played at her memorial service. And it will be the only one played at mine. We had over forty wonderful years together. There were some bumps in the road, for sure, but together we got through them all. Love and miss you, my little bunny.🐇

I sat next to Elvis Costello on an airplane flight many years ago, he was much taller IRL than I had envisioned…nice guy too! I just so happened to have a Rolling Stone magazine with me that he was on the cover of, talk about crazy serendipity! “Every Day I Write The Book” is another great one to react to :)

Those first five albums have some beautiful, dramatic and amazing songs on them, and when the band performed them live back then they added that special Queen touch that just made you sit, slack jawed and mesmerized. By 'News Of The World' they were starting to (somewhat) move away from their majestic and atmospheric numbers and into their latter day period of just rocking out, but still with a quirky edge to most of the songs. But those early performances, man . . .

Absolute virtuosic and melodic perfection!

Unrelated to anything, I think she had the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. Ever.

Lil 7/8 year old me listening to this album - I sang every song.. and they're still ingrained. This is one of my favorite songs on this album easily. Love that you reacted to it because it's not one people do a lot. You can't overstate how HUGE this album was.. it was massive for 2-3 years. or at least it felt like it.

Rainbow is another beautiful song

I haven't heard this in so long I had pretty much forgotten about it. Great to hear at again after all these years. I loved it when it was first released. Great reaction too!

Pay them back. It’s about time. Don’t you agree? Healthcare and Justice for all, also federal voting rights, and equal rights for women.

All of the Cowsills except Bill performed here. This was a 2004 benefit to help Bill I think with his medical bills.

I don't know if this is helpful, but I recently read one of Michael J, Fox's books about his experiences with Parkinsons. There are some details about his various therapy and treatments, some of which greatly reduced his tremors and other symptoms. He has acted in several films and TV series since his diagnosis. Best wishes.
