Loggins' divorce was made final in 1990; he and Cooper married in July 1992. Their work was covered by other artists such as Lynn Anderson who recorded "Listen to a Country Song" which was released in 1972 and reaching No. But by the time the album was completed Messina had contributed so much to the album - in terms of songwriting arrangement instrumentation and vocals - that an "accidental" duo was born.

He is known for soft rock music beginning during the 1970s and later for writing and performing for movie soundtracks in the 1980s. Originally a part of the duo Loggins and Messina he became a solo artist and has written songs for other artists.
