Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins Story of Whenever I Call You Friend | DOS | Professor of Rock

In 1978 one of the greatest duets of the era was released, the top 5 hit Whenever I call you friend between two of the greatest voices of any era, Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks. Hey Music Junkies, the Professor of Rock, always here to celebrate the greatest artists and songs of all time with our latest edition of Pop Fix. Kenny and Stevie’s voices together are smoother than silk. Which is why this song is not only one of the great duets of the time, it’s also a yacht rock classic and though Stevie is credited on the album track, she was strangely not credited on the actual single, which makes Whenever I Call You “Friend”, Loggins’ first major solo hit.. “Whenever I Call You Friend” was written by Kenny and another multi-platinum artist from the time Melissa Manchester. I was able to get the lowdown from both artists on the origin of this song. Here is Kenny Loggins and Melissa Manchester with the story.

A Tribute to Billy Joel | POP FIX | Professor of Rock

As many of you know this week was Billy Joel’s Birthday. We go In-Depth with artists like Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers, Ben Folds, Andrew McMahon, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Brenden Urie of Panic! At The Disco, Lamont Dozier of Motown, Pat Monahan of Train, Kenny Loggins, Taylor Dayne and Richard Marx, pay tribute to Billy Joel and the great impact he had in their lives and music. Keep This Channel Alive! – http://bit.ly/ProfessorofRockVIPFan Despite writing and producing 33 top 40 songs and being the third best-selling solo artist in the U.S., Billy Joel never lost touch with who he was. I believe the secret to all this success is the fact that Billy Joel is someone we ALL can relate to, regardless of age.
