      He originally wrote the song as a gospel tune and wanted a gospel choir - then with the Doobies they needed to make it more of a pop tune. So he was probably pulling out some of his original ideas on the song.

    I was there. He saved the life of a fan! I worked the bar at the Agganis Arena for Berklee Commencement for 6 years in the private Burke Club Room. Before the show is a meet and greet. A woman was waiting to meet him. He came in. She collapsed. We called the EMTs. He did mouth to mouth right away right there. She was revived. Maybe it was the Kiss of Life! I wondered if she faked it. Haha! Great guy. Great artist. All the best. Thanks.

    It's August 6, 2020, and I'm listening to a classic. Will never get tired of the music of Michael McDonald. A fan for life from the Philippines.

    This man. Gets up. Speaks calmly. Plays a little piano. Gives us some of that God-given vocal talent. Gets the spirit. Goes INSANE. Loses his natural mind. Preaches MLK. Tears the roof off the sucker. Concludes, and sits back down. Genius.

    Amen, Brother Michael! Weird to me that the audience wasn't all up on their feet during that. He just tore it up. Plus, it was very generous of him to be on that stage in the first place with those graduates. So, break free the uptight academia attitude and show the man some of the love he's showing you! At a Baptist Church, the building would have been shakin'!
