Kenny Loggins’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Kenny Loggins Net Worth: Kenny Loggins is an American singer/songwriter and guitarist who has a net worth of $20 million. Kenny Loggins was born January 7, 1948 in Everett, Washington. He got his start in music in the ’70s saw when he was performing and writing a lot of ballads as part of the duo Loggins and Messina (with fellow musician Jim Messina). After leaving Loggins and Messina, Kenny would go on to release a string of very successful solo albums including Celebrate Me Home, Nightwatch (which included the hit Whenever I Call You Friend), and Keep the Fire. Loggins also became known as the king of the movie soundtrack song, scoring Top Ten hits with I’m Alright (from Caddyshack), Footloose (from Footloose), Danger Zone (from Top Gun) and Nobody’s Fool (from Caddyshack II). During this period, he was also one of the participants in USA for Africa on the benefit recording We Are the World. His later solo albums did not sell as well (and came less frequently) throughout the ’80s, with efforts like 1991’s Leap of Faith, 1997’s The Unimaginable Life and 1998’s December, finding favor primarily in adult contemporary circles. In 1994, he recorded a children’s album, Return to Pooh Corner, and released its sequel, More Songs from Pooh Corner, in early 2000. He reunited with Messina in 2005 for a successful tour, album, and concert video, and in 2007, Loggins released How About Now, his first new solo album in four years. It was followed by All Join In (2009). Now in his third decade of making popular music, Loggins continues to occasionally tour and record. He is a member of Blue Sky Riders, a country music trio also featuring writers/artists Gary Burr and Georgia Middleman. Blue Sky Riders released their debut album, Finally Home, on January 29, 2013.
