Kenny Loggins

In recent years, Loggins has continued to produce within the Adult contemporary genre, but the light-hearted, jazzy rock that personifies his past career will not be lost. Their work has paved the way for groundbreaking artists around the globe such as Carnage and the Fiasco, Hooverphonic, Fischerspooner, and Delerium. for a live audience of 500,000. Part of their song "Teardrop" is being used as the theme music for the American television show House, M.D.. In 1991, Loggins recorded and produced Leap of Faith, an important album in his career featuring the hit "Conviction of the Heart." Former Vice-President Al Gore billed this song as "the unofficial anthem of the envrionmental movement." On Earth Day in 1995, Loggins performed at The National Mall in Washington, D.C. The Jamaican reggae legend Horace Andy is a fixture of Massive Attack albums. Loggins also produced a song called "Forever", which would become an internationally recognized piece, translated into several languages. Each Massive Attack album features guest vocalists, and so far the band has worked with Tricky, Shara Nelson, Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl, Nicolette, Sara Jay, Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins and Sinéad O'Connor.

In the 1990s, Loggins continued his album career, including the popular 1994 children's album, Return to Pooh Corner, which included the emotionally touching single "House at Pooh Corner". Marshall elected to sit out during the recording of 100th Window, making that album essentially a Del Naja solo project. All of these songs remain an integral part of American popular culture. After the recording of Mezzanine, Vowles -- dissatisfied with the change in sound -- left the band. Hits followed with "Footloose" from the film of the same name, "Meet Me Halfway" from Over the Top, and "Danger Zone", from Top Gun. Massive Attack originally consisted of three members, Robert Del Naja ("3D"), Grant Marshall ("Daddy G") and Andrew Vowles ("Mushroom"). Over the next decade, Loggins produced many hit songs for movie soundtracks. This began with "I'm Alright" from Caddyshack. While some critics found 100th Window album not up to par with previous offerings, many found it a worthwhile listening experience.

Nightwatch, a popular album released in 1978, included the hit "Whenever I Call You Friend". Del Naja was charged with possession of drugs that month. In 1977, Loggins went on to produce his first solo album, Celebrate Me Home, which included the hit "This is It". It entered the Top 10 in the UK charts. Loggins began his career in the 1970s, and after catching the attention of fellow singer-songwriter Jim Messina, the two began a duo career that would last until 1976. A fourth album, 100th Window, was released on February 10, 2003. His career spans several decades, namely the latter half of the 1970s, the 1980s, and the early 1990s. A song from this album, "Dissolved Girl," was featured in the film The Matrix.

He was born in Everett, Washington. Massive Attack's third album Mezzanine was released in 1998. Mezzanine showed the band moving towards a dark, distorted guitar-based sound, and, according to many fans and critics, marked a significant evolution. Kenny Loggins (born January 7, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter. This marked the last collaboration of Wild Bunch member Tricky with Massive Attack, as he afterwards concentrated wholly on his solo career. Featuring two string instrumentals arranged by Craig Armstrong, this album featured a more lush, deeper sound than the first. In 1994 Massive Attack released their second effort Protection.

aggression against the Third World in the name of democracy, often expressing regret that he ever agreed to the name change. Lead band member Robert Del Naja makes no secret in interviews of his political objections to U.S. During the first Gulf War, several British media channels became anxious to avoid using words suggestive of war and violence, and Massive Attack (then struggling to become established) were forced to temporarily change their name to simply Massive. Blue Lines ushered in a new genre of music best referred to as "the Bristol sound", but the press began to use the label "trip hop", which the members of Massive Attack dislike.

This subsequently became one of the most influential British records of the 1990s, inspiring other projects such as Portishead and Morcheeba. In 1991, they released their first album, Blue Lines, featuring the hit singles Unfinished Sympathy and Daydreaming. Massive Attack began as an offshoot of the Bristol art community The Wild Bunch. Their music is electronic, and combines elements of jazz, hip-hop and other genres; lately the darker, subtler forms of electronica have been dominant influences.

They have released four full studio albums. Massive Attack is a popular band from Bristol, England.
