At a special live event, music legends Daryl Hall and Kenny Loggins teamed up for an unforgettable performance of the classic hit “Footloose,” and the energy was electric from the very first beat. Kenny Loggins, the original voice behind the 1984 dance anthem, took the lead with his powerful vocals, while Daryl Hall added smooth harmonies and lively keyboard work. The stage lit up with bright lights and flashing colors, capturing the spirit of the iconic film that made “Footloose” famous. Both artists, dressed in casual cool outfits, shared laughs and playful glances, clearly enjoying the collaboration.
The crowd went wild, clapping, dancing, and singing along to every word. Hall added his signature soulful touch, blending perfectly with Loggins’ rock energy. As they hit the chorus, the audience jumped to their feet, creating a party atmosphere. The performance ended with a big smile from both stars and a standing ovation, proving that even decades later, “Footloose” can still bring people together and get everyone dancing.
Daryl Hall’s rendition of “Can We Still Be Friends” on Live from Daryl’s House is a standout performance that showcases the collaborative spirit of the series. In this episode, Hall is joined by Todd Rundgren, the original songwriter and performer of the track. Their duet offers a fresh take on the classic, blending Hall’s soulful vocals with Rundgren’s distinctive style.
Originally released in 1978 on Rundgren’s album Hermit of Mink Hollow, “Can We Still Be Friends” became one of his most recognized songs, reaching number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Over the years, it has been covered by various artists, attesting to its enduring appeal.
