RIP Dave Loggins

Another rock and roll heaven induction is under way.

Dave Loggins, singer-songwriter, second cousin of country singer Kenny Loggins, and half of the duo Loggins and Messina, died July 10 at the age of 76. He died in a hospice in Nashville, Tennessee, but a cause of death was not given.

Here are some songs to remember Loggins by.

 

First, his 1974 hit, Please Come to Boston. 

Next, a beautiful song  - House At Pooh Corner.  This song was written by Kenny Loggins (see above), and was covered by Loggins and Messina in 1971.

Finally, a song written by Dave Loggins and recorded by Three Dog Night.  Here is the 1972 song Pieces of April.

 

Bonus track.  Kenny Loggins rerecorded the House at Pooh Corner song and added a verse in honor of his third son.  

RIP Dave Loggins.
