It features the hit single "Whenever I Call You Friend" featuring Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks (co-written with Melissa Manchester), which peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the first recorded version of the Doobie Brothers classic "What a Fool Believes," which Loggins co-wrote with the Doobies' Michael McDonald.
