Michael McDonald is a Legend in the music industry. He's been around for many many years (since 1973). It'd probably be easier to list who Michael hasn't worked with than who he has worked with. Lol. He was with the Doobie Brothers as well. His voice is so Distinctive and Awesome!! My brother Idolized Michael along with singer Burton Cummings. My brother (older) introduced me to some of the most amazing iconic music ever!! I'm eternally grateful to my brother for that. RIP Bro. I love and miss you.
a huge catalog of brilliant music as a solo artist, a member of the Doobie Brothers, duets with Christopher Cross and Kenny Loggins, it just keeps going and going
Michael McDonald is Blue Eyed Soul. He is one bad white dude. Even black women loved his voice! He was lead singer for the Doobie Brothers for a while. Mega hits for the Doobie Brothers were "What a Fool Believes", "Real Love", "Takin It to the Streets", "Minute by Minute", and "It Keeps You Running". Now, he also went solo with smash hits like: "I keep Forgettin", "Sweet Freedom", "I Gotta Try", "You Belong to Me" (he does a funkier version with R&B Artist Chaka Khan) and "On My Own" (duet with Patti Labelle). Now, if you like Michael McDonald, you will also like Blue Eyed Soul Singer Kenny Loggins. Michael did amazing backup vocals on Kenny's mega hit, "This Is It". Kenny's other hits are: "Heart to Heart", I'll Be There"(duet with El De Barge), and "Love Will Follow". By the way, Michael McDonald's wife, Amy Holland had two hits: "How Do I Survive?", and "Here In the Light". Glad to see you enjoy music from my era. Enjoy the musical journey.
The drummer is the legendary Jeff Porcaro. He was the most sought after studio drummer during the 70-80’s . He’s playing on literary 1000’s of albums and hits with artists like Michael Jackson,Madonna Dire Straits etc etc. And besides that he was the founding member of Toto. A hugely underrated band that you must check out! Love from Sweden
The extremely talented Michael McDonald has a huge catalog. Solo, collaborations, and with the Doobie Brothers! I'd love to see your reaction to Michael as one of the lead singers of the Doobie Brothers. So many hit songs like: - Taking It to the Streets - Minute by Minute - You Belong to Me - What a Fool Believes (which he co-wrote with Kenny Loggins) - It Keeps You Running - Real Love Collaborations (duets or back-up vocals with his distinctive, soul-filled voice): - On My Own (duet with powerhouse singer Patti Labelle) - Peg (back-up vocals on this great Steely Dan song) - Bad Sneakers (more back-up vocals on another Steely Dan song) - Ride Like the Wind (fun Christopher Cross song with Michael contributing - you guessed it - back-up vocals!) - What a Fool Believes (a hit with the Doobie Brothers. There's an amazing live performance with Michael and co-writer Kenny Loggins from Loggins' 1993 concert "Outside: Live from the Redwoods". This entire concert is amazing as well.) Solo Career: - All in Love is Fair (cover of this haunting Stevie Wonder song) - Higher Ground (cover of another Stevie Wonder song) - Blink of an Eye (takes you to church!) - No Looking Back - I Keep Forgetting So many more... What a joy to see your responses to great music! ❤
when growing up I was influenced with this kind of music by my brother in law.. a bit of jazz and blues.. If you like that, see if you like Boz Scaggs - Lowdown too... that was kinda a big hit :) ... Love your enthousiasm and willingness to listen to older music. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Haha 😂 You’re cracking me up! I literally laughed out loud! Any chance they got a cool live video? If not, no worries but I love checking out live performances when possible! 🤘🏻
There is a video on yt of them (Michael) singing it live. It has 21 million views. It's the 1st one that pops up, or at least it is on my phone. Enjoy my friend SteVen....... With a V. 😁
One of my favorite Michael McDonald songs is from the Running Scared Movie soundtrack, Sweet Freedom. The movie was good, the song is the best! th-cam.com/video/O8-JPyVRkiE/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared Enjoy!

Oh awesome! I definitely have to go down that rabbit hole! Thanks for the info!
My favourite is "On My Own" with Patti LaBelle. Check it out!
Sweet! Really appreciate the suggestion! This was such an incredible tune and I can’t wait to hear more from him! Have a great one!
Such heartbreaking lyrics...delivered by the man himself.
You know the song's a banger when a someone samples it.
That was a huge hit. Couldn’t go anywhere without hearing it half a dozen times in a few hours.

Ok now you are finding the gems! Listen please to Steely Dan where he sings backup in “Peg”. Then, check out “What a Fool Believes”
This was a gem! I absolutely loved it! We will add those to the list! Appreciate the suggestions!
What an interesting voice! WOW!!! That ending was fun, too. Thank you for reacting to it. 😀
Definitely unique, glad you enjoyed the video!

@@setonhillstudios Sadly, we lost Jeff Porcaro in august 1992 (38 years old). We seem to lose too many great ones too young.
