All three sing lead amid the three-part harmonies that told each of them from the beginning that they had something special.

For Loggins, Blue Sky Riders is a new creative step forward in a career filled with magic moments. His hits, early on as half of Loggins and Messina and then as a solo artist, include "Danny's Song," "House at Pooh Corner," "Your Mama Don't Dance," "Angry Eyes," "Whenever I Call You Friend" (with Stevie Nicks) and "This Is It," a series of movie theme songs, including "I'm Alright" (Caddyshack), "Footloose" (Footloose), "Danger Zone" (Top Gun), and "Nobody's Fool" (Caddyshack II), and later AC smashes including "Conviction of the Heart," "The Real Thing," "If You Believe" and "For the First Time." His songs have been covered by artists including Barbra Streisand, Lynn Anderson, Anne Murray and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Loggins and Michael McDonald co-wrote "What A Fool Believes," which received a Grammy for Song of the Year, and "This Is It," which earned Loggins a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal.

Burr is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and has been named Songwriter of the Year by ASCAP, Billboard and NSAI with 13 #1 hits under his belt. His hits include Juice Newton's "Love's Been a Little Bit Hard on Me," Conway Twitty's "That's My Job" and Wynonna's "To Be Loved By You," and his songs have been covered by LeAnn Rimes, Faith Hill, Randy Travis, Reba McEntire, George Jones, Garth Brooks, RIcky Skaggs and Lynyrd Skynyrd, among many others. He has written and performed with Ringo Starr, had a worldwide hit with the Ricky Martin/Christina Aguilera smash "Nobody Wants to be Lonely," and topped the charts with Kelly Clarkson's "Before Your Love" and Clay Aiken's "This is the Night." He has toured with Carole King and produced Olivia Newton John, and early in his career spent three years as lead singer of Pure Prairie League.

Middleman was still a teenager when she began opening for artists like Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. Drawn to Nashville's creative energy, she quickly landed a publishing deal with Polygram and released the well-received Endless Possibiities on Giant Records. She wrote Keith Urban's 2010 chart-topper "I'm In," and singles including Tracy Lawrence's "It's All How You Look At It" and Sarah Buxton's "Innocence." Her songs have been recorded by Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, Mark Chesnutt and Joe Nichols, among many others. She has toured with Radney Foster and sung backup for Jack Ingram, Marty Raybon, the Warren Brothers and many other Nashville artists.

I hope you know you have a hit on your hands with this one. Fantastic vocals and harmony, and what a song! Well-deserved kudos to you all. And Kenny, I saw you perform live in Arizona several years ago; your spark and voice have not faded one watt, still shining strong.

Bravo! Looking forward to a great BSR future!

@MsKath1eena Excuse me, Chuck Berry is 85 years old, and still performing. I saw him when I was 8 years old in Norfolk, Virginia ("I left my home in Norfolk Virginia..."--Promised Land) and my older brother, our mother and I were the only white faces in the crowd. My king of rock'n'roll wasn't played on AM stations. Some white boy covered "Promised Land" though. He did alright, Elvis did. Cradle rockin' indeed.;)

This could be Blue Sky Rider's own "Imagine"--speaking to and for the same audience, in a different place in our lives. I'm such a dreamer (and I'm not the only one) it never occurred to me that I'd ever stop believing a dream and making it real. Thank God it hadn't occurred to Kenny Loggins, whose music will outlive us all. As for the record exec pal who said Kenny was "too old" (?!?!), how about Chuck Berry (82), Paul McCartney (70 in June), Ringo Starr (71)... all still ROCK, as do BSR!

I saw Blue Sky Riders in concert last night (Sandy, Utah). Love the way their 3 voices harmonize. Kenny Loggins told a great story about how this song was inspired by a Columbia record exec telling him he was too old to start a new band. Listen to the lyrics...the story is in there. I am a total BSR fan.

I'll be in the front row at Eagle River Pavillion in Eagle, Idaho on Sept 7. Course, Kenny- love all you have but would really love to hear "Aimee" from Pure Prarie League days.
