Editor's note

Kenny Loggins, from folk-rock duo to movie soundtrack king

The singer-songwriter who soundtracked the 1980s with hits from 'Footloose' to 'Top Gun'.

For the full picture, listen to 'Footloose' and then something like 'Conviction Of The Heart.' You can hear the same guy in both songs, just in different decades.

Loggins wrote the kind of songs that became part of the cultural wallpaper in the 1980s. His title track for 'Footloose' went to number one, and 'Danger Zone' from 'Top Gun' still plays at sports arenas decades later. Even his later solo material like 'Conviction Of The Heart' has that same direct, melodic quality.

He started in the early 1970s as half of the folk-rock duo Loggins and Messina. After they split in 1977, he went solo and found his biggest success writing for films in the 1980s, including 'Footloose' and 'Top Gun'.
