My then boyfriend, now husband of 50 years and I saw Loggins and Messina at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh, PA, in March of 1973. Jim Croce opened for them. What a great concert that was!

Lucky girl! That would have been a great show. Jim Cin 1987roce was awesome. I did see Kenny Loggins on his own in 1987 which was good, but music in the early to mid 70's was the best.

A friend of Kenny’s a few weeks ago commented to me on Facebook and told me that one night Kenny picked up a date and she said, Why so down? He said, I just got a cease and desist order from Disney for The House At Pooh Corner. She said, You got your guitar with you? They went back to her house and she said play it for my dad and he of course loved it. He was one of the high up at Disney and he said I’ll take care of it.

Holy cow, the early 70s was absolutely the best time for music. It's almost too many to choose from.

I'm totally impressed that Messina was in Buffalo Springfield, one of the super great bands.

Between 8 and 18, My father’s favorite saying was “Turn that damn thing down “. I say, If its too loud,You’re too old.

Great segment! A funny story about this song-my friends in the band SYRE covered this song in the 80’s. Well, one night Rikki and Bret from Poison came to see them play in Toronto and ended up onstage jamming. When Syre played their version of YOUR MAMA DONT DANCE, the Poison guys said after ‘that’s a really great song to cover’. Guess what song Poison covered (and had a hit with?) on their next album. 100% true story.

Every kid that grew up with a curfew loves this song! Awesome interviews Professor!🤘🔥

Elvis liked them and the song enough to do it live ..He always did songs he liked and also listened to in his own music collection , He was a huge music buff and fan of a very huge range of music styles .. And he always collected what was on the radio at that time and year that he liked and songs of any time didn't matter when it came out if he liked it and related to it he would play it , And most influenced him to change and progress with the times ...But Elvis would not have kept the song copy righted blocked from being used for something great like professor of rock did here... Sad thing Elvis has no control over his Enterprises because he has been gone long since and greedy people who now own most of Elvis's Enterprises run and do things Elvis would in no way support or want Elvis was about the music the quality and art and about the fans but those who run it now are about the money .......................as a longtime Elvis fan..

He did start laughing.

When the Poison cover was released, my girlfriend and I got into a heated “debate” about whether or not it was their composition. To prove my point, I bought the Poison cassette (even though I really didn’t like them) just to show her the writing credits! Then I gave her the tape…🖖🏼

Less then a year later I saw the Doobies at Carnige Hall at the end of the tour with new hair cuts glitter platforms and they blew the roof off . Loggins and Massina were awesome. played for hours it felt like. "Angry Eyes" those long james of the 70's. Miss them!

Oh L&M were so great in the 70’s! Loved them! House at Pooh corner was one of my favs to this day! Then Kenny came out and did so many soundtracks in the 80’s! Great music! Great Band! I am 68 and still crank up the rock n roll music!

I see that sort of comment on *every* video posted by my favorite young band these days: The Dead South. They are very hard to pigeon hole, because at first blush… you might assume they were a blue grass band, what with a combination of banjo, guitar, mandolin and cello. But the boys themselves will admit to being metal heads in terms of music they would listen to in their spare time. “Broken Cowboy” is probably my favorite original of theirs, but their cover of “people are strange” is great as well. Many of their fans found then via the occasionally viral video for “in hell I’ll be in good company”

A joyful musical part of my youth that still lives in my playlists - still singing along everytime. So many unforgettable songs during their collaboration. Saw them live on their last tour before they parted ways. A good time was had by all.

Yeah, when those who think they know better than everyone else, don't know squat. It's FREE publicity and for those who never realized Elvis even recorded this song (like me), it would prompt at least some to look for and possibly buy it or the Elvis album that it's on.

My Grandpa Paul was as Jim Messina's Step-Father...At first. Was daily at his house and hearing Country blasting a quarter mile away out of Bowling Green, KY called WLBJ in the Milk Barn. He said his 'Country Music' made the cows happier to give good milk. We always knew where he was when in the fields when out on the tractors before he bought the first one with an enclosed cab. He wasn't particular to rock and then...He heard Loggin's and Messina's 'Momma Don't Dance' and totally related to it. This opened doors in his Musical Palatte making Mom really happy as he insisted she never play Jazz or Rock before the 70's in his presense. Still crank the volume with Loggins and Messina.

Damn. All these years..."You gotta EDUCATE by 10..." until now. 63 yo. Always sing this, badly, at the top of my lungs! Great stories!

"Your Mama Don't Dance" is my favorite Loggins & Messina song. It's one of those great songs that best captures the fun spirit and energy of rock and roll (For today's poll, many other similar classics were also mentioned). Love it.

We all have those dark moments in our lives that can bring us down but for me this music brings a flood of fond memories of good times. Im 67 as well and growing up there was always music playing. I was raised on Hank Williams and Johnny Cash and then I found rock n roll. I would put it on the radio and my mom was turning it louder. I still listen, loud, and smile, and remember, better, simpler times. Boy we had a lot of fun.

I'll admit that I thought that this song was an original song by Poison when they released it. It wasn't until I heard it from Loggins and Messina. Great interview with these guys.

My son, Danny, was born as 'Danny's Song' was a huge hit both by Kenny Loggins and Anne Murray. My son was named for his dad, but this was such a perfect welcome to the world for him...and it was in the spring. Loggins and Messina formed a part of the soundtrack of my early college years, but Kenny's music is what I remember best, and one of my favorites was "This Is It".

"Loggins and Messina" - absolute legends! Kenny Loggins is ingenious task oriented 'composer for hire' - none better on this planet! Just give him a movie and he'll create the soundtrack that no living composer can match! Kenny only needed inspiration! That's why Jim Messina with his own creative ideas was the perfect match to Kenny - they were 'feeding off each other' creating memorable music!

My dad was a radio DJ when he met my mom and a newsman when I grew up so music of all kinds was played in our house. Never had a problem with rock and roll. Just couldn't play records too loud! Then headphones came out and all was good!

It's cool to know the history behind the song. Loggins and Messina were great, and in today's world of pop songs built around endless repetition of a short melodic line and maybe three chords, their work is all the more precious. Your video made me chase down my very favorite song of theirs, "Pretty Princess". Even more beautiful than I remembered. Thanks, Professor!

Oh my goodness! You lived my life, during the same era! In Tennessee, my Daddy was like this! I loved this song, danced to it in my room, alone! Thanks ! ❤🎉😮😂

I never heard Elvis's version but I like Loggins and Messina's better. That "muddy blues" version was really good and they should - or maybe he should - do a revamped version like he redid "What A Fool Believes" for an acoustic show. There is a case for revamping, re-recording, remixing or otherwise reimagining one's song(s). I just watched a video about KISS's "Double Platinum" album and how the songs on it were different. In some cases, some were better while others weren't but it's nice to variate the listening experience or even take advantage of techniques and technologies to improve the sound quality or even the musicality of the music that were not available at the time; or as new ideas as to presenting their music, come to the mind of the artist(s).

I loved playing and singing “You’re Momma Don’t Dance” in my high school band. What a fun song. Clever lyrics and great opening guitar riff. It always got a great response.

I’m in good company at 68! Original Rockers.

I was born in the 60s and grew up in a household of country music (my Mom) and jazz (my Dad). I was fortunate that my parents didn't really care what I listened to and always encouraged me to find music I loved, whether I was playing it on a record, or me singing or experimenting with different instruments. I was a weird kid because I loved jazz and classical more than anything. I was aware of rock-n-roll, but I didn't really listen to it other than on the radio in a car taking me to school. That is until my older cousins came over and started playing their records for me. The Beatles, the Guess Who, the Supremes, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and Loggins and Messina. It felt like another door opened for me. I could hear the jazz and blues influences in the riffs being played which to this day makes me love all forms of music. Great video!

I saw Kenny Loggins when he was the concert opening act for Fleetwood Mac Rhiannon tour. He was perfect! I always liked him both with Messina and solo. Thank you PoR! Great post, you've never disappointed me!

They were always such fun live

I was a teenager in the 80's, growing up in the 70s my parents loved music. We had CCR to Conway and Loretta at our house. Living in rural Montana, getting to go to a Sat night dance was top on our list. I remember hearing Momma Don't Dance (and probably shaking my booty to it) Then Poison being my favorite 80s band... of course we cranked it... the best for me is when my then 21 yr old, on a road trip shared her ipod tunes and Poison's version was on her play list. ❤

I knew it was going to be that song the minute you started to talk about the dad. Thanks Professor👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Loggins & Messina was the very first album I purchased (using my babysitting income) when I was 13. "Your Momma Don't Dance" got me into L & M but then I was absolutely mesmerized with the "Sittin' In" album with Vehevala, Nobdy Like You and Trilogy which I still enjoy to this day. Thanks for a great interview!

The extended jam in their song "Angry Eyes" is an all time great

Still have it to this day. Also have it on Poison's greatest hits and loved that version almost as much as L & M's original ! Elvis covering it was the cherry on top of the sundae !!

Funny how "Old Time Rock n Roll" has a bit of a Disco flavor with that 4/4 beat while Seger decries the idea of someone trying to take him to a Disco.... That sound would have easily worked with a typical half-step Rock beat.

Your Mama Don't Dance is my favorite Loggins and Messina song. My wife love's to hear me play it on the acoustic guitar too, one of her favorites. I appreciate the talent of Loggins and Messina both as performers and writers. I wasn't aware of the Poison version or that Elvis covered it but they seem fine to me.

It's funny when poison remade your mama don't dance they were singing it about the same generation that loved this song too. How timeless is that. I love when the artist tell us where the inspiration for the sound and chords come from after I hear that I can't unhear it even if I didn't make the connection before. Great episode professor! Now outta the car long hair

The Poison version rocks!

Great interviews!

From when I first heard it when I was little until now. House on Pooh Corner remains one of my favorite songs ever.

I like my music loud.That was our way to hear music

As a 10-yr old when it came out, it was the 2nd 45 in my collection. My dad had brought the song home...played it...and then my parents started dancing around like they did when my dad DJed the sock hops in '56! Thanks, Professor, for covering their song.

The first time I heard this song was Poision's cover, being that I am an 80's teen. However, I did go back and listen to the original later and then Elvis' cover. I couldn't believe how much faster it was.
