This collection is a must for any Loggin's fan. Whether it's power ballads such as "Conviction Of The Heart" and "The Real Thing" or the edgy "I'm Alright" and "Don't Fight It" with Steve Perry, his unique voice and cool tones will surely please.

I was surprised by the tunes on this CD. I am very glad to add it to my collection. Loggins is a very talented musician.

This is a wonderful CD! It contains all of Kenny Loggin's greatest hits so it's fun to listen to on the road. Well worth the money!

THIS CD IS THE BEST, WHY, BECAUSE IT IS CHEAP AND IT CONTAINS ALL THE SONGS BEST PERFORMED BY K.LOGGINS THE MUSIC IS GREAT UPLIFTING AND JUST A LOT OF FUN FOR EVERYONE, I RATE THIS A #1 SONG SELECTION (J.RUSSELL).

While I haven't listened to it, my boyfriend really wanted it for his birthday, so I bought it and he loves it. No complaints here.

My wife is a BIG fan of Kenny Loggins and she was very happy to receive the DVD as a gift. I highly recommend it to others who appreciate Loggins music. It's full of hits.

If you like the hits of Kenny Loggins, this is an essential mix of his sound. I own quite a few of his CDs, and while many of them have a very unique feel that can't be captured on any kind of anthology (like Nightwatch) this CD captures the Kenny that audiences love. If you are not a Kenny afficianado, this is the CD to own if you want just one. You may also want to pick up Return to Pooh Corner if you enjoy the sound of innocence.

I love this cd. I already have it and purchased it again for a Christmas gift for my cousin. No one can bring more feelings into his music like kenny. This is a must have for any collection.

What can I say? As a fan of Kenny Loggins (even from his Messina and Loggins days) this is the best compliation of his music that I've seen/heard.

Ah...this one takes me back. Singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins epitomized the mellow Southern California pop/rock of the 1970's and 80's. Baby boomers like me look at this period of music with nostalgia and can forgive the sometimes unctuous vocal delivery he displayed. Less rhythmically oriented than his peer Michael McDonald, Loggins veered toward punctuated hooks and big ballads. This greatest hits collection represents his predilections pretty accurately, and the sound is quite clean. There are several movie soundtrack songs included here - the beer-chugging "I'm Alright" from "Caddyshack", the synth-saturated "Danger Zone" from "Top Gun"; the touchy-mopey "Meet Me Half Way" from the Sly Stallone arm-wrestling flick, "Over the Top"; and of course, the inescapably snappy "Footloose". There are also a couple of duets - the rocker-wannabe "Don't Fight It" with Journey's Steve Perry and the Mac-and-cheese classic, "Whenever I Call You Friend" with Stevie Nicks.

However, the best tracks are the two he wrote with McDonald, both reflecting the Doobie-inflected beats that were damnably catchy - his do-or-die anthem, "This Is It", and my personal favorite, "Heart to Heart", with its swooning cadences and a beautiful string accompaniment that turns the song into a true guilty pleasure. There are also more recent tracks - the treacle-laden "For the First Time" and the pop-jazzy "The Rest of Your Life" - which show how he has moved seamlessly to the adult contemporary genre. Understand that a lot of these songs were AM-radio staples when they were climbing the charts back then, so listening to them a quarter-century later is like a time-capsule of the Reagan years. This is good listening for fans, though the unconverted will likely remain unmoved.

Sure, Kenny Loggins is known for huge hits from soundtrack such as DANGER ZONE from Top Gun, FOOTLOOSE from the soundtrack of the same title, I'M ALRIGHT from Caddysack, MEET ME HALF WAY from Over The Top, FOR THE FIRST TIME from On A Fine Day. Alhough not included in this compilaion and failed to become a single, DOUBLE OR NOTHING from Rocky IV is a fine song.

He also showcases a wide variety of friendship as shown in duet hits with his friends with music field. He even writes foreword for Jim Peterik(ex Survivor)'s recent book "THE SONGWRITINGS FOR THE DUMMIES". From this compilation duet with superstar is just great such as WHENEVER I CALL YOU FRIEND, duet with Stevie Nicks, DON'T FIGHT IT with Steve Perry.

What is also remarkable is his heartful voice which makes us feel relief. RETURN TO POOH CORNER, THE REAL THING are such gems.

Verdict: Nearly full package missing few essentials.
Rating: 95 out of 100
Recommended for 80's soundtrack collector and late 70s to 80s pop rock fans.

If you want most of Kenny's good songs...This is it! I didn't actually realize how many top songs he had. He changes styles quite bit and it is well noted on this CD. It features mostly pop/rock. But, he has some inspiring songs and love ballads too. My favorites on this one are...Whenever I Call You 'Friend'(with Stevie Nicks), Heart To Heart, Forever, and the remake of House At Pooh Corner...Return To Pooh Corner. Buy this one and you won't be sorry!!!

This is the best single-disc compilation of Kenny Loggins you can get. All of the songs are classics and great. The sound is great, too. I'm very happy with it. Highly reommended.

The first hits collection of Kenny Loggins songs from 1977 all the way until 1997 brings together seamingly different tracks onto one jammed packed CD clocking in at over 70 minutes in length.

Included on this collection are his most famous hits "Footloose" and "Danger Zone". "Footloose" comes from the movie of the same name and is a very perky early 80s dance oriented track. While not necessarily bad, this song has not aged well at all. In my opinion, out of all of the songs on this CD, this one sounds the most dated out of all of them, even by 1984 standards. Sometimes it's great but other times it's annoying to listen to. "Danger Zone" on the other hand while it does show its age at times, sounds far less dated and cheesy to listen to. This one is an awesome track with a fast beat and perfectly fits into the atmosphere of the movie "Top Gun" that it is the theme to. Unlike "Footloose" which is overrated, "Danger Zone" was a well-deserved hit and is a classic in my book. It is followed by a much more down tempo track called "Meet Me Half Way" which is a very beautiful ballad although the 80s element does show in places but overall, this song still sounds fresh and new today. I have never really gotten into the songs from Pooh Corner though as they sound somewhat cheesy in my opinion.

This collection closes with a track called "The Rest Of Your Life" which is lifted from the then yet-to-be-released "Unimaginable Life". This is a great track with a wonderful blend of jazz and pop but then builds to a rock-and-roll jazz/pop climax and brings this CD to a glorious close. Still, this track only scratches the surface of the album that it's from as Unimaginable Life is a stunning masterpiece.

Unfortunately, this CD as well as it's upgraded successor "Essential Kenny Loggins" emits his beloved 1985 classic "Love Will Follow". This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs that he has ever written and recorded and that it has been omitted from here is not from being untenable. My biggest complaint about this CD is how it reverses the order of "The Real Thing" and "Conviction Of The Heart" where the latter is placed before the former. On the parent album "Leap of Faith", I like how the ending of "Real Thing" merges into the child voice and ambient beginning into of "Conviction of The Heart". The reversing order of the tracks feels almost like the CD player suddenly had been reprogrammed.

Kenny Loggings has been a constant all my life. My dad used to play him for me when I was small, Return to Pooh Corner, as I got older I continued to listen and love him. When my grandfather died we played Celebrate Me Home at his service, tho which is more of a christmas song, really seemed to fit our situation. When my parents got divorced and my dad moved out he left Kenny's Leap of Faith tape on my bed with a note saying "Play me before you go to bed, I love you." It started with "The Real Thing" which looking back, seems like Kenny wrote it with my dad and I in mind. and on my wedding day my dad and I danced to it. Even now, years later whenever I hear that song I still get teary. Kenny Loggins knows how to write songs that truly touch your heart. I highly reccomend this album, not just for the heartfelt touching songs but for the great up beat music like Conviction of the Heart and Danger Zone. I challange any of you to listen to Footloose with out dancing. An all around awsome album!

THIS IS A VERY NICE COLLECTION OF KENNY LOGGINS MUSIC I LIKE AND I ENJOY THIS WHOLE CD IT CONTAINS A LOT OF GREAT SONGS BY KENNY. HE IS A GREAT ARTIST AND HE HAS A GREAT VOICE. I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO LIKES KENNY TO BUY THIS ALBUM BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY NICE ALBUM AND I LIKE IT. I ENJOY IT . SO THEREFORE, BUY THIS ALBUM AND ENJOY!!!!!

I loved listening to this CD. The songs I recognized are the ones that are great to listen to over and again. I listened to "Don't Fight It" several times. I remember that song from my childhood. They played it on "Solid Gold", a music show of the eighties. The eighties were a good time to be a kid and I really enjoyed those days. Kenny Loggins churned out some good hits. He's handsome and a gifted musician. Another recommendation would be Michael MacDonald.

What do you expect from a Musical Legend? A great compilation! In my opinion, Kenny is one of the greatest artists of all time... the only other artist that I give this personal distinction is Kenny's friend, Michael McDonald. Mr. Loggins has talent... loads of talent! The compilation was successful in giving us a history of Kenny's musical journey, from the 70s to the 90s. Hits like Footloose to ballads like Meet me Halfway... these are songs you'd like to hear over and over again. If there are only 2 talents I'd listen to, it would be Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald... well, make that 3, James Ingram also.

Although this compilation isn't complete of Kenny's greatest, its a a pretty good one nonetheless. Buy this one.

There was life yet for Kenny Loggins following the amicable split of Loggins and Messina. His solo career lasted well into the 90's. The first two songs here characterize a lighter feel, with some classic disco-type string synths. Keep The Fire's "This Is It" was one of two songs co-written with Michael McDonald, the other one, "What A Fool Believes", being a hit for the Doobies. A song describing a momentous decision, this was inspired by Loggins' father undergoing an ordeal and choosing life over death.

"Whenever I Call You 'Friend'", from his Nightwatch album, features Stevie Nicks on harmony vocals and was a US Top Ten hit. It starts slow, but from the refrain, the tempo bursts into a classic disco beat. There's also a nice sax solo in the middle. This song was co-written with Melissa Manchester.

The jaunty mid-tempo piano number "Heart To Heart" has a 70's R&B feel to it. This features Michael McDonald on the Rhodes piano, and on backing vocals, Richard Page and Steve George, who would later fly on their broken wings to form Mr. Mister.

Loggins made his heyday in the 1980's by being "Mr. Soundtrack," most of them which hit the Top Ten. That started with "I'm Alright" from Caddyshack, whose fun stomping tone set the pace for the movie and finally yielded a tune obviously bogus gophers could shake to. Then there's the thumping drums and surf guitar of "Footloose" which topped the US charts, and the sizzling and roaring rock guitar and a sound and lyrics that mirrored the aura of zipping in the sky at who-knows-how-many-miles-an-hour of Top Gun's "Danger Zone." Those latter two were two songs I associated with Kenny Loggins.

The next soundtrack song I remember well is his ballad "Meet Me Halfway" from the Over The Top soundtrack, also on his Avalon album. Like "Danger Zone," the music was written by Giorgio Moroder. Unfortunately, "Nobody's Fool" from Caddyshack II and also on Avalon, is not included here.

The most heartmelting tune here is "Return To Pooh Corner", the sequel to his song "House At Pooh Corner" which the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band covered. A nostalgic return to a childhood long gone, symbolized by the house on Pooh Corner, with "so much to be done/count all the bees in the hive/chase all the clouds from the sky" Amy Grant provides guest vocals and Mr. Mister's keyboardist Steve George is the backing vocalist.

The highly energetic "Don't Fight It," a duet with Steve Perry, like "Heart To Heart" is taken from 1982's High Adventure, and ushers in Loggins' rock era before "Danger Zone." It's a combination 70's rocker with a Journey sound in the choruses. That's Neil Gerardo, Pat Benatar's producer and husband on lead rhythm guitar.

The ballad "Forever" was another song I remember during my 80's days, from the Vox Humana album, and it has a characteristic guitar snarl that takes it to power ballad territory in the chorus, courtesy of Toto's Steve Lukather.

The introspection and deeper feelings Loggins began on "Return To Pooh Corner" continued on two songs from Leap Of Faith. One of them was the environmental movement anthem "Conviction Of The Heart" which he performed on Earth Day 95 at the Mall in D.C. The other is "The Real Thing" for his daughter's christening.

"For The First Time" saw Loggins returning to soundtrack music, providing a ballad laden with string arrangements for One Fine Day starring George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer.

The title track from his solo debut, "Celebrate Me Home" is a laid-back piano ballad that eventually became a Christmas song of sorts.

A worthy collection that takes all shades of Loggins, hit soundtrack songs, ballads, more personal and introspective songs, and that wished for return to Pooh Corner.

For die-hard fans, for people who know many of Kenny's songs or for those of you who know the odd song from the 80s movies ("Footloose", "Danger Zone"), this greatest hits compilation is a fantastic blend of Kenny at his best.

The songs appeal to people who are into all kinds of music. Kenny delivers soulful rock, pop, dance and even country to the highest quality. He has one of the best voices in the world - his vocal range is outstanding - and not many artists have this unique ability to captivate all styles of music with harmonious melodies, catchy rhythms and rip-roaring guitar playing. (Lest it be said Kenny is also one of the greatest guitarists in the world).

And when it comes to heartwarming ballads, Kenny does not disappoint ("The Real Thing" & "For the first time") really touch on the emotions both lyrically and melodically.

All in all, Kenny has written some brilliant songs which are not included in this collection ("Back to Avalon", "The Unimaginable Life", "Leap of Faith" and many more. Nevertheless, this is a top quality collection of songs from one of the greatest (and under-rated) artists over the last 30 years.

Enjoy.......

I got this expecting to know just the big soundtrack songs, and ended up knowing almost the whole thing. Also, I was amazed at how well I knew them, and liked them. Besides the hits from "Top Gun", "Footloose", and "Caddyshack", I found twice as many songs that were just as good. Plus, excellent help from "Michael McDonald", "Stevie Nicks", and "Steve Perry". This almost plays through like a "Best of the 80's" cd, as much as it does a "Kenny Loggins" collection. The whole disc was pretty much a case of "Oh, that's Kenny Loggins"? Anyway, if you're a fan of anything mentioned above, get "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow".

I wholeheartedly agree with one of the reviewers that mentions the hit "Heart To Heart." Highly under-rated and not played enough (if at all) nowadays. Just listen to the great harmonizing of the background vocals at the climax of the song (sounds like Michael McDonald again). Plus, the fantastic driving rhythm going on during the vocals. And above all, the wailing alto sax of David Sanborn at the bridge and ending (I'd recognize that sound anywhere).

Oh, I'm sorry, the other tracks are also exciting and wonderful to listen to - over and over again. Great Kenny Loggins music.

I just love Kenny Loggins! He is such a great singer! I bought his album two days ago and fell in love with his songs
Heart to Heart and Forever... Also,I always play it while driving my car...

The hits are all there but some of the versions selected really detract. "Footloose" and "I'm Alright" lack the punch experienced on the movie soundtracks, FM or other CD's. At times, "I'm Alright" sounded like an outtake. Similarly, "Forever" and "Celebrate Me Home" just didn't do it for me. I'm not a purist but would have preferred a studio sounding "Pooh Corner" to the version that sounded like he actually was singing to his infant son. I've always been a fan but overall, I'm disappointed.

Kenny Loggins is the king of late twentieth century rock and roll. His music, however, doesn't fit into one genre...as you will find with this CD, he dabs in rock, pop, folk, gospel, and even country.

Now, I am a fan of the latter. I listen to a little rock and roll, however, and I must say that Kenny Loggins is my favorite artist in that genre. His voice and lyrics dig into your soul and never let go.

This CD contains enough of a variety of his music to let you get to know him and what he does. Of course there are the duets ("Whenever I Call You Friend w/ Stevie Nicks [Fleetwood Mac], and "Don't Fight It" w/ Steve Perry [Journey]), but Loggins is at his best on his own. "Footloose" and "Caddyshack" come from their respective movies, while "Danger Zone" hails from "Top Gun". "Conviction of the Heart" is a chorus-powered Earth Day ballad, and "The Real Thing" will move you like no other song you've ever heard. "The Rest of Your Life" is a wonderful ballad that conveys ever-lasting love, and "Return to Pooh Corner" is an acoustical for the kids.

Those are just a few highlights of this CD's content. The rest is just as powerful, and just as moving. Your ears deserve to hear Kenny Loggins's soaring voice, his catching lyrics, and his feet-tapping rythms. When they titled this CD "The Best of Kenny Loggins", trust me, they knew what they were doing!

This CD is truly a reflection of humanity's greatest gift, love in all it's forms. Enjoy it as much as I have.

I have always adored Kenny Loggins. This CD is by far the best ever. I believe he is one of the best songwriters of our time. The song "The Real Thing" and "For the first time" are such beautiful songs. It's the best ever!!

Kenny Loggins for me is the greatest pop/folk male singer of all time! Greatest Hits from the"greatest" is surely one of the best and greatest albums ever! Too bad, "Wait A Little While" (a favorite cut of mine from the Nightwatch album wasn't included) Need I say more? FIVE STAR!!! * * * * *

This is a great all around album. If you like Kenny Loggins this has something for you. There is a great mix of old and new. I have 2 boys, ages 8 and 4, and they love it too. It is a true greatest hits album. Some of the songs you may have forgotten about over time but as soon as you hear them you will be singing along with the songs.

This is an album that is packed with great songs. I bought this album mainly for "For the first time" which I just love. I knew "Footloose", but thought that those two songs were all that I knew on this album. But as I listened, I was like "Wow, I know that song", and "I didn't know that was a Loggins song". I was so pleasantly suprised that I knew nearly all of the songs without even realizing who they were by. And I must say that this is one of my favourite albums, each song is great, and runs the gamut from dance to ballads. The liner notes contain pictures of the albums that each song comes from, plus most songs have a paragraph about it, written by Kenny.

Kenny Loggins hardly seemed a logical choice to retain, let alone grow, his success as the 70s ended. Like Phil Collins, another superstar of the new decade, Loggins was best known for work with a group (Loggins and Messina) with a clearly identifiable, well-regarded image and sound hard to break from.

What impresses you most, then, about "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" is Loggins' versatility. He wrote elegant jazz-flavored pop like "Whenever I Call You Friend" (with Melissa Manchester) and the gorgeous holiday ballad "Celebrate Me Home" (his first solo hits, produced by smooth jazzman Bob James). He wrote sweeping pop-gospel ballads like "This Is It," (with Michael McDonald), "Heart To Heart," and the ecological anthem, "Conviction Of The Heart." He could write intimate children's songs like the update of "House On Pooh Corner," or New Age-flavored love songs like "The Rest Of Your Life."

But then, again like Collins, Loggins was every bit the mercernary with his successful 80s movie songs, many produced with disco's Georgio Moroder. "I'm Alright," 1984's #1 "Footloose," 1986's "Danger Zone" and "Meet Me Half Way" epitomise an 80s rock style with slamming, near-rockabilly drums (from Tris Imboden, who later joined another 70s-into-80s hitmaker, Chicago), synthesized bass and steely guitars far from Loggins & Messina's laid-back sound. (Loggins, eloquent in his liner notes for each song, offers none for these.) Loggins' duet with Journey's Steve Perry, "Don't Fight It," ironically sounds loosest and most fun among the rockers here yet charted lowest.

A Loggins renaissance seems well-timed. Not only has he reached to longtime fans with children's and holiday albums and a book about his marriage (not to mention his support of solar power), but has had his movie songs revived on stage and in the new 80s music formats. (Again, Collins took a similar path to the AC audience with the "Tarzan" soundtrack). Thus, "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow," despite omitting some hits ("Nobody's Fool," "I'm Free," "What A Fool Believes," "Vox Humana" )remains the first and best stop for casual fans of Loggins 25-year solo career and/or 80s pop generally. Recommended.

This is the one CD I own that I could never be without. It has a song for every mood, from "Celebrate me home," for the holidays to "This is it," for inspiration . I never ever get tired of it and it's soulful melodies. It really has something wonderful to offer it's listeners.

The song return to pooh corner is the best song. I have a tattoo of tigger and pooh is on its way. I'm getting married soon and this might be our wedding song I just have to talk to him.

Few best-hits albums are worth the long wait. Kenny Loggins is perhaps one exception. This greatest hit album witnesses some of the best songs of Loggins since the 1980s. Featuring "Heart to Heart", "Danger Zone", "Footloose", "This Is It", "Whenever I Call You Friend" and more, talents of this contemporary easy-listening artist are thoroughly showcased and honored. The CD also includes the theme from motion picture "One Fine Day" - "For the First Time", which will sure melt your heart. A must-have!

I remember when this guy was on like every soundtrack to any big 80s movie in town. I am glad that he is following his heart now and recording childrens music. Better than trying to keep the old top 40 career going and no one buying it. Only song that I wish he would have put on this greatest hits is "Nobody's Fool" from his "Return to Avilon" CD or "Caddy Shack II" soundtrack. That has always been a favorite of mine!! Other than that you can't complain about this solid album.
