They were just college buddies a couple of years ago so it would be neat if they won at least 1 of the 3 Grammys they were nominated for (Their album engineers are also nominated for the best non-classical engineered album Grammy.)

      Joni Mitchell's "Good Friends", Dog Eat Dog's opening track and first single. Mitchell's choice of Michael McDonald on vocals. The video of Good Friends is very creative with Joni and her then bass playing husband, Larry Klein (producer of many singer's albums) together. To me the video is very reminiscent of Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone" video. Pretty different and cool video for the timez!
      Michael also does background vocals on the song "Tax Free" off the same album.

    Michael McDonald has that voice that you never have to second guess who that is singing. It's good to see the youth of today finding the magic of the talent we had back in the 70s. Keep digging guys you've just scratched the surface. 😎🎸

    This was Michael McDonald's first single from his first solo album. He had been a member of the Doobie Brothers band, they weren't brothers, just brothers in doobie 😉. When he joined the band, their sound changed to a more soulful sound because of his voice and he wrote the songs. I remember him saying at the time about this song, it was black radio that saved him. The white audience abandoned him with this, if it hadn't been for black radio, the song and the album would have gone nowhere. As it turns out it's a classic.
