Celebrate Me Home
Celebrate Me Home is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins. It was released on April 13, 1977, by Columbia Records. The album was Loggins' first since splitting from Loggins and Messina, represents a slight move away from the folk-rock leanings of his previous recordings towards a more polished, soft rock sound.

Featuring production by famed Billy Joel collaborator Phil Ramone and jazz keyboardist Bob James, Celebrate Me Home peaked at number 27 on the Billboard album charts, and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA. Loggins would experience even greater commercial and chart success with his next album release, Nightwatch.
Two singles were released from this album. The first was "I Believe In Love", reaching number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track was covered by Barbra Streisand a year earlier for A Star Is Born (1976 soundtrack). The second and final single, "Celebrate Me Home" (edited to 3:51), was released at the end of 1977, but did not chart.
