Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Kenny Loggins was born in Everett, WA, and moved to Los Angeles in his teens. He got a job as a staff writer and wrote four songs used on a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album in 1970, among them the hit "House at Pooh Corner." This brought him to the attention of former Poco member Jim Messina, now a staff producer at CBS, who intended to produce Loggins' debut album. The two ended up in a duo, however, and Loggins & Messina made a series of successful albums during the '70s. Loggins & Messina broke up in 1976, and Loggins went on to solo stardom with such million-selling albums as Celebrate Me Home, Nightwatch (which included the hit "Whenever I Call You Friend"), and Keep the Fire, all in the cheerful, sensitive style he had displayed in Loggins & Messina. Loggins also became known as the king of the movie soundtrack song, scoring Top Ten hits with "I'm Alright" (from Caddyshack), "Footloose" (from Footloose), "Danger Zone" (from Top Gun), and "Nobody's Fool" (from Caddyshack II).

Down 'n Dirty Lyrics
Kenny Loggins
Slow talkin', the line you're walkin'
Look like a viper wearin' silkin' stockings
You make 'em guess they'd be gettin' the best
Can't help but wonder if you'd pass the test
Kissin' my fingers, you touch my face
'N play your hand like you're holdin' the ace
But Baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what you've started
[Chorus:]
(Down 'n dirty)
Oh my little Rosalee, don't you think it's goin' on time we see
If you're gonna come with me, I bet you, I get you
I've had enough of this comin' on stuff
I feel like gettin' down on somethin' tough
I do believe you're what you're tryin' to be
Now show me, honey, 'cause I'm dying to see
Take it baby, make your play, we'll make love in different ways
I call your bluff and stand, pretty mama, hold me in your hand
And make it harder and harder to stop what you've started
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Kissin' my fingers, you touch my face
'N play your hand like you're holdin' the ace
Baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what you've started
[Chorus]
Rosalee, don't you think it's goin' on time we see
If you're gonna come with me, I'm dirty, down 'n dirty
