Kenny Loggins "Return to Pooh Corner"

Parents and their children in 1994 had a new song (and album) to sing along with thanks to Kenny Loggins. His ballad "Return to Pooh Corner" was an updated version of  his 1970 tune "House at Pooh Corner". The 1994 version featured Amy Grant and her then-husband Gary Chapman providing backup vocals and also contained a new third verse for Loggins' son.

Poco "Nothing to Hide"

I had no idea Jim Messina was part of the country-rock group Poco (really, why would anyone know this?). Some background: Poco formed in the late-'60s following the demise of Buffalo Springfield, but Messina left after the band's second album. He then teamed up with Kenny Loggins for the soft rock duo Loggins & Messina. By 1976, Messina was back on his own after he and Loggins parted. Messina later rejoined Poco for a reunion tour in 1989 and the band scored a minor hit that year with the ballad "Nothing to Hide".
