Loggins & Messina

Loggins and Messina were an American country rock duo that released six studio albums and a live double-album on Columbia between 1971 and 1976. They formed when ex-Buffalo Springfield/Poco member Jim Messina partnered with little-known songwriter Kenny Loggins for the latter’s intended debut solo album. They are most known for the nostalgic hit “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” the album epic “Angry Eyes,” the Caribbean-flavored “Vahevala,” and the lyrical ballad “Danny’s Song.” After their split, Loggins embarked on a commercially successful solo career.

Members: Kenny Loggins (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Jimmy Messina (vocals, guitar, bass, mandolin, dobro)
