This Monday, June 5, Thundercat will make his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a couple of special guests and collaborators, Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins.

Former Doobie Brother McDonald and “Danger Zone” and “Footloose” singer Loggins both appeared on Thundercat’s latest album, Drunk. In a new feature from the latest issue of Relix, Thundercat explained how the partnership came to be:

“It just started as something I said on a radio station,” he says. “I was asked who would I want to be trapped on an island with. I immediately said, ‘Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald.’ People call [what they do] ‘yacht rock’ or something, but I was very serious at the same time I was joking about it. I have a lot of respect for them as songwriters and what they contributed to the music, being people that I learned from.”
