Singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins explains the origins of several hit songs, including “Footloose” and “Danger Zone,” featured in “Top Gun.” The doc also chronicles the music legend’s childhood as a shy, gawky, and unpopular kid with low self-esteem growing up in California; Loggins’ key role in the folk-rock movement with Loggins & Messina, a pop-rock duo he formed with Jimmy Messina in the 1970s; and the singer’s rise to fame in the 1980s as a solo artist who went on to win multiple Grammys and achieved global recognition because of the songs he wrote and sang for hit movies including “Footloose,” “Top Gun,” “Caddyshack,” and “A Star Is Born”.
