I'm glad people remember that Live Aid had many great artists, not just Queen.

I was watching We Are The World documentary on Netflix and was stunned hearing Kenny Loggins saaang his little part. So here I am watching his live performance because his voice is just beautiful.

What a fun song. The band did a cool job.

Kenny has everything. The looks, the style, the voice, and the guitar skills!! One of biggest artists to come from the 70’s and 80’s!! ❤️

No riot.
No hate.
No blood.
