Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins are just a different breed. Soulful!!!!!!
Your a 1000 percent right!
What a time the 80s was. When Michael McDonald was on backing vocals then you knew it would be a good song. Lol. He was on backing vocals in "This is It" but I guess he is not here because it is a live performance.
@@pacman071this was always a confusing song if u wanted to go back and reminisce. You will look up Doobie brothers. Because it literally sounds like their songs
This live performance let everybody know how good his natural voice really was. I remember seeing this as a small child.
You are absolutely correct , real talent and his real natural voice. Not like the crap produced today.
Was? Check him out at Daryl’s house.
Props to the backing vocalists. Dang they nailed it.
Right on!
Yes indeed, I wish Michael McDonald was there
Harmonies on point!
George Hawkins, the bassist, had a particularly good voice and he and Mike, the guitarist, did a great job of recreating McDonald's part from the record.
This is live music. No auto tune, no lip syncing and no pre-recorded garbage. What a great performance. Good music kids!
Yessss!! Spot on.
The song, that voice, those moves, the beard, that sweater. All perfection.
Well maybe not the sweater lol
@@shannonburns1892 obviously you have no style 😅
He is being himself and he is cute ❤
You're right, but Loggins and Messina fans alrady knew this. He's really, really good.
No kidding, nothing but a good looking man. Wow!
Aside from the obvious of him being one of the dopest singer songwriter musicians of the time he had one of the best heads of hair in the game
This was the ultimate back-up band - tight rhythm section, amazing harmony vocals, and the incomparable Tris Imboden with that slick jazzy drum groove.
Facts. He is killin it
Dude KILLED this! SOULFUL! I miss the music of this era.
Kenny Loggins is quite the songwriter/song stylist and I love how hyped he is when he sings! What energy!
He sure can sing better than some of these male singers nowadays Thank You Kenny for sharing your soulful voice to the world
Drummer puttin some "stank" on it! I love it
Hell yeah 🔥
You know it! haha. Don't sleep on the keyboardist either...he was jammin'.
Tris Imboden! Very solid cat and looks like Frasier Crane!
Oop!
What a groove🕺 !
wow, his voice still gives chills.. YES!!! THIS IS IT!!
an absolute natural vocalist.
The bass and drums rhythm. Pure fire
This song belongs in every museum across America... I'm a 46 old Black man and everytime I hear this masterpiece I get to tearing up💯 You're a genius Kenny💯
GEORGE MICHAEL SOUND AND LOOK ALIKE WOULDN'T U AGREE ON THIS CUTE 4 SURE MORE SO ON RECORDED ADDITION WITH MICHAEL MCDONALD
Why is this man so fine to me .This song take me so far back if we could turn back time .
A completely underrated artist with one of his best tracks. This is it.
+DC Sheehan Underrated? This 20 million net worth and platinum record selling artist? This artist who's songs are still played on the radio?
I think he is definitely underrated as a singer. I never hear him being included on best vocalist lists, even though he belongs on them.
Pin The Tail Productions I think it’s less about his being underrated commercially and more about that when people think of the best songwriters and vocalists of that era, he is either forgotten or remembered only for his movie hits
@@pinthetailproductions4859 all his songs played are only his movie ones. His non movie ones are far more iconic.he is pretty much known for his caddyshack and top gun songs. So yeah widely underrated
He is NOT underrated AT ALL. I don't know where you been but he has gotten his due credit.
Kenny always looks so happy when he performs. It’s the sweetest thing 🥹🤎
Totally the sweetest 🍭
I can feel all of their souls in this performance……..
Kenny still gives me chills❤️
WHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTT??!!!?!! this is seriously cream of the crop. Simply amazing.
It's definitely what you get when 1) you use your road band to record the albums, and 2) your road band can play their asses off.
I can’t get enough of watching that; it’s so profound.
The drums are just so right on. So good.
Thanks for the great love ❤️ and support you show me as a special fan of mine😍, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks , and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my tracks ❤️may God bless you. 0:06
THOSE BACKGROUND VOCALS THO!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I haven't seen this since it first aired. And it's bringing tears to my eyes. This was one of my late mother's favorite songs. We played this record for hours!! #ilovemymomma
it's called passion. Not to mention awesome musicianship.
Always great is Kenny. The band kills it. Background vocals are spot on WHILE playing instruments. No vocal enhancement or auto tune 1979. What you saw, what you heard, you got.
God what a voice on this guy.
GOD MUST HAVE JUST LOVED KENNY LOGGIN! HE CERTAINLY HAS TAKEN GREAT CARE OF HIM, ALL THROUGHT THE YEARS!
I LOVE his songs, all the way "back in the day" , 70s and 80s ect... He could sing anything he wanted and it sound great but dear Lord that man was, and still is HOT !
Kathryn Poole he's also changed his hair many times, one yr I thought he was gay but that was classified with Geoge Michael, n Elton John. But he has 5 kids from 2 failed marriages
I've been to 2 of his concerts in the past. I love his singing and dancing. And Kenny Loggin's Band is out of sight!
Thanks for the great love ❤️ and support you show me as a special fan of mine😍, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks , and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my tracks ❤️may God bless you. 0:06
How cute is he!?! I love everything about this performance. Timeless song, the only thing that would make it better was having Michael McDonald there to sing the background live.
He did, often including Kenny Loggins Live at the Redwoods with Mike as guest. You should check it out.
They co-wrote the song together.
Kenny is so energetic and loves to move around on stage. I saw him 12 times and was always in awe of his talent and incredible use of his vocals. He can move easily since he was always jumping on platforms. I found out later he played basketball in high school. My favorite artist of all time.
Kenny in his zone bringing the audience along for the ride. 😇🔥
OOoo God, that sweet silky voice. LOVe Kenny Loggins ! Hits me directly in the center of my heart.
This is such gold. I'm a huge Kenny fan but dear lord Kenny, that sweater and those dance moves 😂😂
😂😂 Yes but it was 1979 !!! His clothing was considered pretty cool. Most of us were still wearing bell-bottoms lol.
it's so interesting to see how the styles were different in the 70's. but you know, I see a lot of those fads coming back. :)@@erickouniakis5722
Damn I love me some Kenny!!!!!!! I just love how he loves his music and gets into it! He was almost doing the running man when he went out into the audience!!!
One of My Favorite Artist and Songs of All Times!!!.
Would truly like to meet him and thank him- yes, for me, Its that deep. When I lost my Mom a few weeks ago- This is the first song that popped into my mind. " This is it". A major moment in life!.
Gotta love the Log!!! One of the greatest pop song writers ever. and so smooth..
I love how he gets so into the music he doesn't care how silly he may look. That's what dancing is all about!
+pajamagirl123 That's what dancing is all about...when you're not too good a dancer.
Some may think your dancing is silly but still somehow I believe we all survive.
pajamagirl123 your so right n he's gorgeous.
And those shoes! :P
True he all over the place 😂
Hello people, hello characters of all sort, my due respect to all of you! It was about time I made a comment on the net. This time, my glory, my fetish, my life: Music. Making the story short, I fell in love with Kenny Loggins,' voice and art in 1991, when I randomly listened to a cool tune on the radio. Glad lots of people love it too. There is something about his attitude, art and vibrations that fill me with power. Thank you Mr. Kenny Loogins.
A truly blessed man.
My favorite song of Kenny Loggins❤️🎶👍🎶🎶🎶
💛2020 and All the years to come Love a You King👑Kenny Loggins
Thanks for the great love ❤️ and support you show me as a special fan of mine😍, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks , and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my tracks ❤️may God bless you. 0:06
This jawn speaks to my soul bruh. Whenever I'm feeling so low that I feel I can't do it anymore, this song reminds me that my destiny is just that. MINE. One shot and I'VE got to take it.
Legend. And what a band...that's how the pros put it down
Love how he is dressed!! Looks great!!!! Legend.
Wonderful performance by Kenny Loggins. He also performed the more harder-edged 'Keep The Fire' earlier on the same episode of 'Live On Fridays' where he played electric guitar. This was actually the very first episode of 'Live On Fridays', broadcast on April 11th, 1980.
That voice is magical
Love this song...Classic. Need more song like this again.great performance Kenny!
That was one bad soulful white boi. Him and Michael McDonald.
billy taylor They were sort of doing a baby “michael Jackson” version with Kenny. Off the Wall was very successful and Kenny’s voice reminded people of Michael because it was soft, soulful, etc.
Facts
joe cocker
billy taylor both good at the cookout. #ExtraPlate
Him and Michael wrote this together😍😍😍😍
This is my jam. I can’t believe this song is almost 50 years old.
@@kenny665loggins OMG. I’m saving this comment forever
@@auburntiger8 you Wellcome 🤗,,, how long have you been listening to My musics 🎶🤔
This performance saved my life
R.I.P. George Hawkins Jr. (Bass & vocals)
Awww. I was just going to comment how much I like his singing and playing. 🕊
Oh, so sad to learn about George...loved seeing him at many concerts
RIP flutist/sax Jon Clarke too !
Que bello este hombre me encanta mucho y canta rebonito que se echa demenos estos temas buenicimos preciosa voz y me facina este tema linda lindicima
Ahhh...the music from the 70's,..🎵
One of his best 👌
First... Great song... Second... Kenny has always had some level of coolness about him... A confidence... Partnered with the musical talent... I like watching him get into each song
What an outstanding live version of this great loggins tune. Exceptional collection of musicians in this band with Kenny. Wasn't sure how good it would sound w/o the signature McDonald vocals, but the band did an exceptional job of covering down, assuming they are not running McDonald on a backing track here, and I don't think they are
Bring this song back to the NCAA tournament
Fucking love Yacht Rock era music, it's such a guilty pleasure. Seriously Kenny Loggins outfit is super bad ass in the IDGAF category. Pretty good live version.
Can this be an anthem!!! I love this song
The first song that I heard by Kenny!
YES!!!!! Absolutely wonderful!
I bought this song in 1979. The first time I heard i it I thought it was so pretty.i was 16 yrs.old.i am 62 years now kenny I love all your music.i am a black female . I love your music. A lot of your music I have heard.an it's all beautiful to me
GEORGE MICHAEL SOUND AND LOOK ALIKE WOULDN'T U AGREE ON THIS CUTE 4 SURE MORE SO ON RECORDED ADDITION WITH MICHAEL MCDONALD
Nice to see it's actually live.
This guy put out hit after hit. He's the real deal. Steve Perry and Kenny loggins are my 2 of favorite male vocalist of all time.
Everytime I've heard him sing this, he's changed the phrasing and it's always AMAAAZE...
Kenny is awesome any way u look at it. "This Is It". and Kenny is all that.
Beautiful voice
+Island Digital, that is the Great Tris Imboden on drums ( heavyweight session/live drummer ) from LA. He was the drummer for Kenny Loggins for quite a few years. He also played with Chicago for some time. You name it and he's done it. I believe that the bass player's name here is George Hawkins. This is a nice band. B/G vocals also sound smooth and they blend well together. Sounds like the record. How many musical artists can you say that about today. Kenny has one of the best voices in American music.
True. This was a great performance.
Plate Voltage
- Props to your uncle!!
Fbasschemistry What songs were that ?
love love love Kenny! what a gem this music is.
He is not a human .. god !!!! thank you for being around ... !!!!
I'm loving this arrangement too...
I didn't care what he wears he's gorgeous !!
2 mystical singers from the 70s, Kenny L. and Stevie Nicks
One of the best voice ever
Kenny said he wrote this song for his sick uncle as he was lying in a hospital bed` encouraging him to get better, to try and help himself....to survive....he told him, "This is it....make no mistake, your back is to the wall...until its over and done.....the waiting is over.....dont you run, dont hide....this is it......"
Sexiest man alive , i was 8 when this song came! I will love Kenny until i die!❤
I love this..
Drummer Zoning Out In Groove, He And The Bass Player ..............
grooveskin ......Yep. The drummer is in the pocket 4 sho!!!!
@@MrSilas-xo9np Thinking about a certain someone who will need to make some personal decisions very soon brought me here and look who I see! Tris Imboden with his recognizable big head and sporting a mustache!
(Tris would later become the drummer for Chicago, lose a lung to smoking, find God, shave his head, and then quit the band.)
Is that Peter Erskine on the drums ?
@@chrismichaels6928 it's Tris Imboden, he drummed for Kenny before joining Chicago
Yacht rock at its finest
Scott Valdes Yacht rock....too funny! I ADORE this song and artist.
Scott Valdes my sides are hurting. Lmao
love this song....gives me goose bumps
Wowzers!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
BEST EVER TIMESS ...SONG.🌈🌈🌈🎵🎵👍👍👍
My friends and my Wife and I saw Kenny perform this song, and many others, at Paul Masson and he always swayed and used his arms in such a way that we stood up and Danced with him. A master of live Performance. Truly miss it.
One of my favorite songs. In this performance, when I close my eyes, its hard to believe I'm listening to a white singer. Soooo much soul in his voice. Simply awesome.
Well...he IS from Detroit, lol...
@@GoddessFactor007. He’s from Alhambra, Cali
One of the greatest singer/songwriters EVER...also one of the best looking! Even better looking at 71...yes....71 in 2019!!!
GRANDE KENNY LOGGINS, grandes recuerdos y emociones. Saludos desde Lima Perú
Kenny is so similar to Michael Jackson vocally. Love this upload.
I was just thinking that!
MJ sings on the Kenny song "Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong" (written by Kenny & Richard Page)
@@donrumata369 oh really. I know the song, but didn't know that. Cool bit of info. Thanks.
I get that vibe from his excitement and dance moves while singing.
How great is this music??😌
I used to crush on this man BIG TIME!!!! Love him!!!!!
I made out with that man...twice...on the same day...it was during his promotional stops at radio stations...I was the Music Director at the #1 AC station in NY...he came by to say hello...It was all a "goof" but I had to kiss that face...we had a good laugh while the PR guy from Columbia took the photos...that night, at a listening party in his honor...we locked lips again for the cameras...but it was sweet...such a great guy!
Such an underrated singer. Great voice.
I love this song!
It doesn't get any better than this, This Is It!
Great son and Voice! blue eye soul!
i like this live performance better than the real one. love the freestyling at the end, plus that flute is perfect for this song
One of the greats!
There've been times in my life,
i've been wonderin' why.
still, somehow i believed we'd always survive.
now, i'm not so sure
you're waiting here, one good reason to try
but, what more can i say? what's left to provide?
(you think that maybe it's over, )
(only if you want it to be.)
are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
stand up and fight.
(this is it.)
make no mistake where you are.
(this is it.)
you back's to the corner.
(this is it.)
don't be a fool anymore.
(this is it.)
The waiting is over, no, don't you run.
no way to hide.
no time for wonderin' why.
it's here, the moment is now, about to decide.
let 'em believe.
leave 'em behind.
but keep me near in your heart.
know whatever you do, i'm here by your side.
(you say that maybe it's over.)
(not if you don't want it to be.)
for once in your life, here's your miracle.
stand up and fight.
(this is it.)
make no mistake where you are.
(this is it.)
you're goin' no further.
(this is it.)
until it's over and done.
(no one can tell what the future holds.)
oh-oh-oh-oh.
(who makes the choice of how it goes?)
it's not up to me this time.
(you know.)
comes a day in every life.
(this is it.)
make no mistake where you are.
(this is it.)
you're goin' no further.
(this is it.)
until it's over and done.
(this is it.)
one way or another.
(this is it.)
(no one can tell what the future holds.)
(this is it.)
your back's to the corner.
(this is it.)
(you make the choice of how it goes.)
(this is it.)
the waiting is over.
(this is it.)
(no one can tell what the future holds.)
(this is it.)
one way or another.
(this is it.)
