The Stevie Nicks side of Kenny Loggins

Loggins encouraged Nicks to join him in "Whenever I Call You Friend" in 1978. Despite not knowing what lay ahead, the Fleetwood Mac singer eagerly agreed. Described by the singer as "a discipline thing," Loggins is known to me as Slave-Driver Loggins. It took him two days to beat me into that particular performance. 

The frustration sometimes made me think, "I'm not doing this." The producer is brilliant, and he got what he wanted. Nicks said that when the recording was done, he knocked him unconscious, and when he walked away, he had to remain silent and follow instructions. Boring vocals didn't interest him.

Personal Life

The first wife, Kenny, was married to Eva Ein, a former colon therapist who had three children with Kenny. He married Julia Cooper 1992, a former colon therapist. Kenny and Julia had two kids together before divorcing in 2004. Kenny later acknowledged that he was surprised by Julia's decision. The divorce cost Kenny a lot of money as well. After Kenny's divorce and the world financial crisis, his net worth drastically declined.
