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.

Kenny Loggins is an underrated star. He's a phenomenal writer and even better singer. I hope people don't lose his music in history.

@fool4singing 10 месяцев назад

I agree and I've always felt like Kenny didn't get the recognition for his voice that he should have.

@Fiftynine414 2 месяца назад

I was 19 and traveling during summer beak in Vancouver, BC when this tune came across the radio. Instant love. Still love it after all these decades.

@jerr7670 4 года назад

Holy crap when Kenny Loggins comes in with, "Day by day. We can see." Can't help but to smile.

@AllisonDancerChick1982 4 года назад

My wedding song!! My husband and I are old souls and Kenny Loggins fans, so we chose to dance to this. It started off sweet and pretty, and devolved into this whole silliness. One of my favorite memories! ❤ We have been married a little over a year.

@thaliapanacea964 Год назад

Congratulations!

Met Kenny in Late 80s...such an approachable, kind man. He doesn't wear his 'celebrity'. He just is.

Melissa Manchester is nothing but class - no hard feelings whatsoever and yet, you look carefully enough and you find her fingerprint on so many gems of the era. Great work like always.

When Stevie sings that solo line, "forever and ever", with that last sung note, always gives me goosebumps. It did even when I was 10 years old back then and still does at 52. I always thought of it as a bird singing. One of my Top 10 favorite Stevie vocals and the first to make me take notice of Stevie Nicks.

I was 5 years old when I first heard this song. It was around Christmas time and we were spending the holiday with my aunt, uncle and cousins. We had just come in from the cold after a long drive and I was just glad to be out of the car. We walked into the living room where my aunt had this huge black stereo-turn table with an eight track and radio. RCA Top of the line back then. After hugging everyone hello, I turned around and saw the glowing lights of the Christmas tree. I stared in awe of it as I always did. This song started at that exact moment. It was amazing. From that moment on, that song always reminded me of Christmas. It's a cool, magical piece of art.

I was the ring bearer in a wedding in the early 80s and the bride and groom ended the wedding singing this to each other and the bridesmaids and groomsman were the background singers. I was only 4-5 years old at the time but this song is still one of my favorites.

@markflem Год назад

I think it would have been a hit with Melissa singing it. She is one of the all time great voices!

@davanmani556 Год назад

Stevie brought warmth especially the intro. Stevie had the gut to make everyone lonely guy believe that she was singing to them. I think Melissa understood that.

@terrytari1891 8 месяцев назад

Their chemistry was great. They seemed to love & like each other when they sang together! Women tend to like Kenny a lot. Kenny L has a lot of charisma. Kenny Roger even said that she really love to hear Kenny L at his concerts. In a lot of Kenny's concert, Kenny has a lot of Soul in his R&B in his Live concerts!

@karinogle3304 6 месяцев назад

I just read how Kenny cracked the whip on Stevie for two days to get that vocal. She almost quit, but in the end she realized that he wanted an energetic vocal and he was a great producer.

@bullshed5819 4 года назад

I was in high school and loved Loggins and Messina. I always said Kenny has the best voice of that era and he just sang from his soul. Stevie Nicks also had the ability to make people stop and listen, together they were perfection.

Why oh why isn't there a live performance of this around? My memories of this song...I was 16 when it came out and it was one of those songs which caused me to drop whatever I was doing when it came on the radio and just listen, dance and sing!

@LyndieLouWho 3 года назад

When Stevie sang, "What I seem to touch these days has turned to gold" she was not being arrogant, it was the truth. Back then, if Stevie touched it, it was gold.

Melissa Manchester is absolutely amazing! I have been a fan since day 1 and have seen her in concert several times, including just a few years ago. She is truly a class act, inspired songwriter, and fantastic vocalist. Her versions of the song (album cut and live) have been just as riveting.

@elizabethelias1005 4 года назад

I love that song! Kenny has a fabulous voice. Stevie, I saw her back in the mid 80s. Her voice pairs well with Kenny, Tom and Lindsey.

@denadear 4 года назад

She also did a duet with Don Henley "Leather and Lace". That was a good one, too.

@shawnmcvey7789 4 года назад

On both songs mentioned she takes the lower harmony, I've always thought that was cool.

@BadchildBear Год назад

LOVING IT!

@gtrdoc911 2 года назад

What a clinic on song writing that song is.

@shawnmcvey7789 4 года назад

Both this and Leather & Lace have Stevie Nicks in singing the lower part in the chorus and it really works. Most people would've had the woman take the high note but when you have world class tenors and an iconic alto you can really mix things up.

Kenny and Melissa recently did a joyous and brilliant version of this song and while not as iconic as with Stevie I think it stands on it's own. Had no idea they co wrote it together. Both in their 70's now, better late than never.

@tammieparrishmiller3669 3 года назад

Kenny Loggins reminds me of a human with a huge heart. His music is in a class of it's own and he and Stevie singing this song will pass the test of time as it already has. What an amazing gift you have gotten to be able to interview these greats! I don't mean to be morbid, but this is going to be a decade when we will be losing many of our greats. Let's be sure to enjoy them while they are still on this earth! Keep these interviews coming! I'm new here, but am enjoying this so much! Thank you and Peace!

@terrytari1891 8 месяцев назад

Kenny L: has a great voice at his concerts. I went to a his concert and his voice was beautiful, in his range and he knows how to sing R&B music well. Kenny has a lot of soul too and he was a good friend of the Late Michael Jackson!

_The Summer of '78, I was just 20 years old. Having recently gone through a break-up, this song saved my soul. I was already a ' Rumors' junkie, and loving my hometown girl Stevie Nicks, so when 'Whenever I Call You Friend' hit the airwaves in July 1978, I knew it was something special. (And yes the song gave light to a new love)._

@Slammy555 3 года назад

This is the song that I use to mark the change from 70s to 80s rock, Stevie's move to solo performances.

@bbgunner5664 3 года назад

I grew up to 70's music in Southern California. It was a great time to be alive. Much simpler. My wife wasn't born until 1980. She grew up in Florida and somehow had NEVER heard this song before until I played it for her a few months ago. Now it's one of her favorite songs!

@tcr1130 4 года назад

Loved hearing the surprise of Stevie singing on this song when this song came out...she has a beautiful voice, and these two sound great together!! Like who can't Stevie harmonize with...also has amazing duets with Walter Egan ( magnet and steel) & ( Gold)....and although this song was never produced as a song with the two of them, I always loved Stevie singing with Bob Welch Ebony Eyes...listen to his alone and one with her, her voice adds so much more to all these duets!!! Wish she had done more over the years!!

I was a 19 year old Waikiki Army lifeguard in the Summer of 1978 when this song hit the radio. For at least 5+ years whenever Stevie hit that long sustained note ...”carry onnnnnnnnnnnnnn”, I would get a shivering physical chill right up my spine. I don’t get that chill anymore during the sustain but I get a little chill in anticipation of that note when she begins that passage “in every moment there’s........”. I just heard the song before watching your great video and it happened again.

Thanks for acknowledging this phenomenal duet of an incredibly beautiful song. Kenny always struck me as being the rare incredibly talented musician/writer/ singer , whose talent and good looks never went to his head nor did he ever lose his warmth and charm. His arrangement of his and Stevie's vocals are flawless.i wonder which take it was that we all know and love: but it sounds so fresh and spontaneous: credit to both for their performances. Does anyone know of the existence of a live version with Kenny and Stevie,or even other takes floating around?

Stevie has relatability to the audiences particular to the lonely guy. She exudes the warmth especially the intro. But I thought Melissa’s unrelatability was part of her charm that would work. Because of the song and her talent.

@ldolphin34 3 года назад

That's one of the great songs Melissa did, especially when you find that her record company didn't want her to do an up-tempo song because she had such a niche going on with the adult contemporary sound. That song is truly great.

@hairdisc Год назад

@@ldolphin34 Actually it was the other way around. Melissa considered herself a balladeer and Clive Davis with the production of Arif Mardin offered a great record that haunted her for years later. She would not perform it in the 90’s and was surprised it win her a Grammy. With an up and down recording career at Arista, Melissa expanded her musical direction and fared well.

@alexanderchase6795 4 года назад

I love the harmony of the beginning of the song when Kenny Loggins is singing with his background singers. Kenny Loggins is a excellent harmonizer. That's why it's awesome that he does songs with groups like Take 6.
