KENNY LOGGINS - "Celebrate Me Home" (Live at The Church Studio)

Enjoy this heartfelt and emotional performance of the beloved holiday song, “Celebrate Me Home” by the great Kenny Loggins, Grammy-Award-winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Performed at the Historic The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Kenny delighted the audience with a wonderful setlist of some of his biggest hits including the first-ever acoustic performance of “Danger Zone.” Other songs in the setlist included “The Real Thing,” “I’m Alright," and (of course) this beautiful version of "Celebrate Me Home," features Grady Nichols as a special guest on the saxophone. The song is part of The Church Studio Legacy Concert Series.
"Celebrate Me Home" was written by Bob James and Kenny Loggins, and published in 1977 on Kenny's album of the same name.
From Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Loggins and Messina launched to an exceptional solo career that brought “Meet Me Half Way,” “This Is It,” “I’m Alright,” “Forever,” “Whenever I Call You Friend, “Danny’s Song,” and so many more! Kenny has also been crowned, “King of the Movie Soundtrack” with his hits in Academy Award-nominated movie soundtrack successes such as A Star is Born, Caddyshack, Footloose, and Top Gun. Kenny’s extraordinary 4-decade career has brought joy to millions of people worldwide and it was an honor hosting him in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the historic The Church Studio for the Legacy Concert Series.

"CELEBRATE ME HOME" LYRICS:
Home for the holidays,
I believe I've missed each and every face,
Come on and play my music,
Let's turn on the love light in the place
It's time I found myself,
Totally surrounded in your circles
Whoa, my friends
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I'll always remember,
And I can recall,
Whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can sing me home.
Uneasy highway,
Traveling where the Westerly winds can fly,
Somebody tried to tell me,
But the men forgot to tell me why,
I gotta count on being gone,
Come on woman, come on daddy,
Be what you want from me,
I'm this strong, I'll be weak
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That I'll always remember,
I can recall,
Whenever I find myself too all alone,
I can make believe I've never gone,
I never know where I belong,
Sing me home.
Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate me home
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Well I'm finally here,
But I'm bound to roam,
Come on celebrate me home
Well I'm finally here,
But I'm bound to roam,
Come on celebrate me home
Well I'm finally here,
But I'm bound to roam,
Come on celebrate me home
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home.

[@taccamine8312]

He steps behind the band when they're soloing, not to stand in the way of their attention. Nothing is more admirable than a humble legend

[@TheChurchStudio]

Indeed! He's not just a superstar; he's a wonderful person to work with!

[@rhondamurrey7674]

Yes!

[@Kurt77777]

Agreed. The polar opposite of who re s like Madonna and Molly Cyrus who demand the spotlight with a fanbase just as shallow and empty as they are. He's also immensely talented unlike so many who are popular today.

[@LisaLisa7133]

The One and Only, Kenny Loggins ❤

[@johnpaley8857]

Yep.. totally agree

[@NoNameNoFace-rr7li]

when you realize there is more behind you than in front of you this song has even more meaning.

[@AndrewOkus]

If I can only play piano for Kenny in Heaven as we praise Our Loving God that's all I'm looking forward to.❤

[@NYRocker]

I’m a lifelong Kenny Loggins fan. I’ve seen him live about 35 times, and it was always perfection. He has the voice of an angel❤

[@AlanStransman]

Loggins is a monster talent....wrote House at Pooh Corner as a high school student....what more is there to say.....?

[@michaelmacdonald5763]

Incredible! His voice is amazingly still strong and he was hitting all the highest notes. My favourite musician of all time. Saw him live in 2018 at Niagara Falls, Canada, then has the good fortune to meet him backstage. Consumate gentlemen. One of the highlights of my life. Keep rocking Kenny!

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Saw him in Ann Arbor Michigan 1973 with Jim Messina they had just released Full Sail ☮️

[@paulinechapman5669]

Am in tears ..no no ..Kenny cannot be this old..but still beautiful..but the reminder that I’m old too is painful..and now he’s retiring..no end to life’s cruelty..Kenny and his music lives on in my heart..🇨🇦

[@lifecoachmalachi]

Bro, Kenny took ya’ll to church for real! Come on now!

[@martinbaggott1052]

Just a marvelous marvelous man. My whole family are lifelong fans. My daughters now in their 40s have seen him so many times, since they were like 10. To this day whenever they go to a concert they measure it against Kenny’s. Love you Kenny.

[@tylertrepp5978]

I’ve been honored to work with him and he is nothing but a pro. So talented.

[@TheChurchStudio]

Indeed he is!!

[@rkthomas7263]

There are some who are a cut above. Kenny Loggins' live performances are proof of his range and completely unscripted style never ceases to amaze me.

[@dougford5691]

Never gets old. I have been a fan for almost 50 years and still love his music.

[@sharonhendrix7496]

Masterpiece. Thank you Mr. Loggins and musicians. Absolute perfection.🙏🏽

[@lynzimoore4010]

been with Kenny from the very beginning and i really prefer this version--what a guy!!!

[@elenacaddell3639]

Lost my brother this past December. On my way home. This song came to my mind. Hadn’t heard it in so so long it’s very fitting. Thank you.💓

[@Grandpa_Moses]

Brilliant! Always cry hearing this song, can't help but think of family and loved ones naturally

[@TheChurchStudio]

It's such a touching and brilliant song!!

[@rebaterry6331]

This was the first album that I purchased as a young adult and like you I cry every time I hear this song as I left home when I graduated and up always wanted to have a home full of love and family

[@dawnkent2092]

This is the song I want played at my funeral..

[@dawnkent2092]

I feel that Kenny has matured into having his voice be part of the band now rater than having the band compliment his vocals. THAT, my friends, is a musician and an ARTIST.

[@TheChurchStudio]

Indeed! His music has aged and matured beautifully!

[@philwithnotes]

Sorry. The band is ONLY there to play for Kenny’s vocals. He is generous, for sure. But that’s how it works.

[@pennycoyote3855]

...ahhhh Kenny, I ❤️ you soooo an I'm glad to see that you allowed your silver and gray to grow out. It helps to enhance your distinguished elder gentleman looks 😊

[@TheChurchStudio]

It does indeed! It goes along nicely with the way he carries himself as well!

[@baytonadeach1928]

Perfect

[@michaelmitchell8340]

So emotional--played song at my husbands memorial. He loved the song.

[@danieldeldaniel3919]

his talent is increasing with age.

[@TheChurchStudio]

Absolutely! It's so cool to see him constantly experimenting with new ways to deliver his songs!

Home for the Holidays is one of my all-time favorites. Love his voice.

It's called "Celebrate Me Home."👍

[@matthewsimonson4552]

Such a beautiful version of the song! His emotion is so captivating -- and WOW, it's such a special treat to see him explaining that moment at the end. Love this!!!

[@williamcoleman2761]

Man, how lucky were the audience members to be there for this. Fantastic! I saw Loggins & Messina in 1972 or '73 and here we are 50 years later and he sounds great still. What a talent!

[@kathyw.1835]

Step back and be reverent in the presence of the Master...he OWNS this song. Countless others have tried (Jennifer Nettles) and failed (LeAnn Rimes) to cover this classic but only KL can serve it up and bring it home. First time I ever saw him perform this live was the Thanksgiving of either 1977 or 1978 at the Summit in Houston and he brought the house down...fast forward 40+ years and it is even better like fine wine. Bravo🙏👏👏👏

Well said! He was clearly handling a lot of emotions both from himself and in what he felt from the the audience. It's amazing and awe-inspiring to see him still delivering heartfelt performances so many decades later!

In his heyday, either as a solo act, or as a part of Loggins & Messina, it was rags like billboard that regardless of how popular their music was, never had a good thing to say about them. Kenny Loggins is one of the most talented composers and singers of our time, but all it took was to not be hip enough for billboard to minimize his greatness.

[@johnventura1637]

One of the greatest artists of our time. And still has world class chops.

[@MNBluestater]

God thank you for this artist, his creativity and love for music ❤❤❤

[@devernepersonal3636]

[@sunnyangiebeenestork1899]

Also can see this as a homegoing service song, too. In fact, they played it at Kenny's brother's service.
