Tennessee born singer-songwriter Dave Loggins has had his songs recorded by a long list of pop, folk and especially country music stars such as Alabama, Reba McEntire, Toby Keith, Wynonna Judd and many others, earning himself recognition by the Nashville Songwriters' Hall Of Fame. Loggins' professional career began in the early 1970s, when he relocated to Nashville and signed a deal with MCA Music Publishing. In 1971, Loggins scored his first Top 10 hit on the Pop charts, when Three Dog Night recorded "Pieces Of April."
The following year, Loggins signed his first recording deal with Vanguard Records. In 1972, he released his debut album, Personal Belongings, which was followed in 1974 by Apprentice in a Musical Workshop. The latter album included a moving sentimental ballad that would soon define his career. "Please Come To Boston" sailed up the Pop charts, winning Loggins a Grammy for best male vocal performance. This song would be covered by many artists, including Joan Baez, who prominently featured the song during her sets on Bob Dylan's legendary Rolling Thunder Revue Tour the following year.
