I didn't know Kenny Loggins was involved in this. My respect for him was already high but learning this this made me respect Loggins soooo much more.

You'd have no idea just hearing the normal speaking voices of Loggins and McDonald that they can sing so darn well.

WHAT THE UCKF? You mean, there was a time when winning a Grammy actually *_meant_* something?

[baytonadeach]

One of my MOST favorite songs and singers ever

[dobazajr]

Wow! Donna Summer in a Cleopatra inspired getup.

one of the catchiest tunes, of all time...with that Christmas-y sounding-keyboard hook from McDonald. And in spite of how catchy it is, I NEVER grow tired of hearing it...never. Aretha Franklin did her due diligence with it, and really made it sparkle and pop. But there is NOTHING like the original. Loggins and McDonald are legends. And they seem to be part of an era and generation, where songwriting and song production, was a literal, art form. That is no longer the case in music today..IN ANY GENRE.

what a fool believes is a great song but donna was absolutely stunning here

Is that Donna Summer presenting the Grammy award?

[Faltor]

Hey, they didn't thank satan or do some demonic dance.

He was right about shaking Bill Champlin's hand.
After the love is gone is an incredible tune!

[bernlin]

One of the greatest pop songs ever written...somehow I never get tired of it. Richly deserved honor, and what an INCREDIBLE partnership that has continued to this day!!
