Kenny Loggins-Nightwatch (1978)

After his time with Gator Creek, the duo Loggins and Messina, and collaborations with Electric Prunes, composer, singer, and music graduate from the University of Pasadena, Kenny Loggins, launched his solo career, debuting with the album "Celebrate Me Home" in 1977. A year later, he released his most commercially acclaimed album, "Nightwatch", produced by Bob James, which contained an attractive collection of soft rock songs with soul influences, achieving platinum status and reaching number seven on the Billboard charts. From the atmospheric and sophisticated "Nightwatch" to the soulful "Easy Driver", passing through the reworking of Billy Joe Royal's "In The Boondocks", the beautiful mid-tempo duet with Stevie Nicks "Whenever I Call You Friend", or the catchy "What a Fool Believes", which, composed with Michael McDonald, would become a huge hit the following year with The Doobie Brothers' version for their successful album "Minute By Minute", this second album would represent Kenny Loggins' most relevant work in the 1970s.
