Watch Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald win the Grammy for Song Of The Year for "What A Fool Believes" at the 1980 Grammy Awards.

Loggins and McDonald together wrote "What A Fool Believes," which they each performed and recorded separately. The Doobie Brothers' recording of the song, largely considered to be the best-known version, went on to become a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won two additional Grammy Awards, three Grammys total, at the 1980 Grammys, including Record Of The Year and Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocals for McDonald, becoming one of the biggest winners of the night. The Doobie Brothers' version of "What A Fool Believes" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2024.

Kenny Loggins is a two-time Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and musician known for his successful solo career, work with the duo Loggins and Messina, and songwriting collaborations with some of the most celebrated artists in music. Five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald, lead vocalist of the Doobie Brothers, is well-known for his unique voice and contributions to the band's signature sound.
