Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone” Featured in 2022 Tournament of Roses Parade

Kenny Loggins, one of pop music’s greatest and most enduring hitmakers, will float into 2022 with The City of South Pasadena Tournament of Roses Float – entitled “Sky’s the Limit” – using his iconic Top Gun soundtrack smash hit “Danger Zone” as its theme music for the Parade float on New Year’s Day.

The City of South Pasadena’s 2022 Parade entry depicts the dreams of flight for a group of lively ostriches. Theodore has strapped on a jet-pack, climbed to the top of the mountain and lept off, convinced that he can fly. He is being cheered on by a cast of characters: Ollie Ostrich is waving a “You Can Do It” Sign, Gwendolyn Ostrich is snapping a picture to capture the achievement, Gidget Ostrich is enjoying a picnic and Carl Ostrich can’t bear to watch so he has buried his head in the sand. Crash the Raccoon is lighting the way while Burn the Raccoon and Bert the Bunny are holding a safety net – just in case. In an exuberant and inspiring way, the float illustrates that anything is possible when you dare to “Dream, Believe & Achieve.”

“I’m honored that the City of South Pasadena chose to use ‘Danger Zone’ for their float,” says Loggins. “Because of the movie Top Gun, the song’s become an iconic tune that’s recognized by so many generations. I’m looking forward to seeing the song paired up with such a creative float this year.”

In more news, THE SONG – the nationally syndicated television show which launched in January 2020 – enters its Season III in 2022. The fast-paced show featuring intimate performances from some of music’s greatest stars performing timeless songs that launched and propelled their careers will premiere nationwide on January 8, 2022.

THE SONG’s new season features Kenny Loggins and also includes Collective Soul, Melissa Etheridge, Styx, Rob Thomas, Amy Grant, Sarah McLachlan and Brian McKnight, among others. The weekly show reaches more than 80 million households on 150 stations.

In 1985, Kenny Loggins was one of the superstar artists who took part in the historic LIVE AID concerts. To celebrate over one billion views on the official LIVE AID and Live 8 YouTube channels, Band Aid and YouTube are hosting an evening of brand-new interviews, rare footage and documentaries commemorating the original music event.

Tune in on December 28 at 9am PT/12pm ET/ 5pm GMT on the official LIVE AID YouTube channel. Each view generates money for the Band Aid Trust.

Mr. Loggins is also continuing to ride into 2022 with new tour dates to be announced based off of his “Kenny Loggins: At the Movies” success that began with his sold-out SONY/ Legacy release last summer for the 12th Record Store Day. The exclusive vinyl edition included some of his career-spanning soundtrack hits for the first time ever. (It can also be heard on whichever personal music streaming service you choose).

Over the last four decades, Kenny Loggins has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and has won two Grammy Awards. His songs have left his musical imprint on “the soundtrack of our lives,” with chart-topping hits including “This Is It,” “I’m Alright,” “Footloose,” “Danger Zone,” and so many more. In addition to his string of successful recordings, both solo and as a member of the famed duo Loggins & Messina, Loggins became the first major rock star to dedicate himself to recording music for children and families. His album Return to Pooh Corner remains the best-selling children’s album of the last 20 years. Kenny was a recent recipient of the ASCAP Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award and the Guild of Music Supervisor’s first-ever Icon Award for his outstanding achievements in film, television, and soundtracks. Loggins regularly lends his musical talent and generous heart to support youth-based programs like Make a Wish, Toys for Tots, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, Notes for Notes, and Little Kids Rock. In 2016, he was honored with a Humanitarian of the Year Award from Little Kids Rock for his extensive commitment to children’s causes, and his core belief that, “every child should experience the healing power of music.” For more information, please visit: http://www.kennyloggins.com
