Michael and Patti Labelle "On my own" is a must watch. Two stunning voices and a duet. The two performers were in separate cities when they recorded their individual parts, which were then "married" during mixing. Phenomenal recording it will blow you away.
Both sound phenomenal
Yacht rock! That's funny, something I think Miami Vice would be a part of! His voice is unique, nobody else sings like him. This came put in the early 80s, I think judging by his hair style and clothing, and her hair style. Good tune, great artist.
Need to listen to the 1986 video. The sound quality and their voices are much stronger.
Absolutely!
I was just thinking the same thing.
He has written SOOOOOOO many songs for others! He is a phenomenal songwriter and musician. One of the most recognizable voices ever….😊
I love Michael McDonald, but he kinda sings like a Muppet.
Not to mention Toto backing him up. They played on a few tracks here and there.
Michael McDonald is one of THE BEST vocalist of that generation of music, The Doobie Bros were Fire and always on my "record player" and "CD" player. I think you'll be impressed with his voice and style of music. So great BP that you are checking out all of this older great music, because great music is timeless.
Listen to his Motown remake
He is in my top 2
Talent doesn't discriminate, people do.
all of the race crap has gotten old...just love each other and get along for God's sake!! Talent knows no color, race or creed
You are so right! Nice to hear logic!😊
Doobie Brothers 'Black Water' is a completely different style. I love that song.
Michael McDonald wasn't with the Doobie Brothers yet when they recorded Black Water.
@@hackermusic3355 yes, I'm aware. Patrick Simmons wrote and sang Blackwater in 74. It was during Tom Johnston's lead singer/guitarist 7 yrs time at the beginning of the group. It's a completely different sound. Michael McDonald came on board when Tom's ulcer caused him to be admitted to the hospital. I just thought it was easier to give a quick recommendation instead of a long explanation.
@@karensilvera6694 Most of the time when somebody comments under a Michael McDonald song that they like Black Water they don't know.
Black Water was and Is Fire!!!!
My favorite
Michael did a lot of the backup vocals for many artists including Steely Dan (Peg) and Christopher Cross (Ride Like the Wind).
Yes! I totally forgot about him singing with Christopher Cross!! ride like the wind is a great song! In fact when this reactions over, I’m going to go listen to that
That's why Michael's unique voice is easy to hear in the songs where he did backups.
History lesson…Go back in time to the 70’s and start with The Doobie Brothers. When lead singer Tom Johnson suffered health issues, Michael took over. You’ll love this music.
Also worth a look to listen to MM when he was in Steely Dan.
He was 30 years old. Born in 1952; this song was released in 1982.
Michael H. McDonald (born February 12, 1952) is an American singer, keyboardist and songwriter known for his distinctive, soulful voice and as a member of Steely Dan (1973-1974), and the Doobie Brothers (1975-1982, 1987, 2019-present). McDonald wrote and sang several hit singles with the Doobie Brothers, including "What a Fool Believes", "Minute by Minute", and "Takin' It to the Streets." McDonald has also performed as a prominent backing vocalist on numerous recordings by artists including Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, and Kenny Loggins.
McDonald's solo career consists of nine studio albums and a number of singles, including the 1982 hit "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)". During his career, McDonald has collaborated with a number of other artists, including James Ingram, David Cassidy, Van Halen, Patti LaBelle, Lee Ritenour, The Winans, Aretha Franklin, Toto,[2] Grizzly Bear,[3] Joni Mitchell, and Thundercat. He has also recorded for television and film soundtracks.
McDonald is the recipient of five Grammy Awards, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Doobie Brothers in 2020.
Thanks so much for all this info. Always love Michael.
Michael McDonald with Patti Labelle on my own is a must hear @ Black Pegasus
Yes! Please do "On My Own" with Patti Labelle & Michael !
Yes!!
Best singer ever Michael McDonald and best group The Doobie Brothers 👍🏼
This song was Michael McDonald's very first Top 10 hit as a solo artist after he left the Doobie Brothers. The song peaked at the #4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the fall of 1982. The female backup vocalist on this song is Michael McDonald's sister, Maureen McDonald. He and Christopher Cross are considered the kings of Yacht Rock. An absolute banger indeed!!!
Before everything, the drummer who plays on this tune, 19 yo Jeff Porcaro, just hired to play with Steely Dan, recommend his friend Mike Mcdonald to B&F of Steely Dan. The rest is history.
Jeff Porcaro just kills, he was my high school mate in Van Nuys, CA with his brothers, Luke, Paich-Toto!
i got to see michael mcdonald open for steely dan back in 2006, and he came back out to sing lead on a couple tracks with the dan. i know do it again was one of the songs he sang lead, but don't ask me to remember the rest because i met a group of dudes that kept passing me joints and blunts all night long. it was the highest i've ever been in my life.
Awesome story.
We never called this Yacht Rock. That is ridiculous. He is Blue-eyed Soul
💯🎯
Blue eyed soul, never heard yacht Rock in my life, this isn't even rock it's soul. He was Motown
Probably something millennials came up with
Exactly. Blue eye soul. He also did a lot with Steely Dan
This is pure R&B, blue-eyed soul....with a touch of yacht rock. lol!
Yes. This is NOT "Yacht Rock."
@@LibraAllWoman Yes, it IS Yacht rock. Lol at thinking it isn't. It's in the top 10 of every yacht rock chart. lol.
@eriklarson9137 this song perfectly shows that a song can fit in multiple genres if it exhibits features of those genres perfectly.
Michael McDonald has been a backup singer for so many groups and singers. His voice is so distinctive you recognize him immediately. He is one of favorite singers going all the way back to my college days.
Finally!!! Lol I don't even know how many times I've requested this in your comments!! After I had u check out Bruce Hornsby and the Range, this was next on my list of songs that were sampled by rappers!! This song dropped in 1982, and he was 30 years old in this video!
He was so "old" then. I remember this dropping
I had to Google it, I didn’t see your comment at first lol
Can’t wait for this one! I wonder if he’ll recognise which rapper sampled it in the 90s 😁
Michael was 30 when he dropped this. His sister sang the backup vocals. He was in the group Steely Dan and Dooby Brothers. I was in love with him, LOL ✌️❤️😎
@@susanbeckmolloy9536 ooooh!! He was in Steely Dan too?! That makes complete sense but I didn’t know until now! BP needs to check out Steely Dan too 🫶🏼
Guys, there’s a huge difference between sampling and doing a cover. At least when you’re doing a cover you’re actually playing your own instruments and singing your own vocals. I guess we had generations of people who had musical talent. When we stopped teaching real music, music theory, in schools we lost the ability for people to create their own music. Now we have “sampling”.
Well said!!!
Michael is 73 years old now and the song was in 1982 so you were really close he was 30 years old, boy, those years flew by. It seems like yeaterday.
And he still tours!!!
You gotta react to The Doobie Bros (with Michael MacDonald singing lead), “Taking it to the Streets”. It’s a really unifying protest song. Really fucking cool.
That the one I mentioned! ❤
The thing is, once you hear "The Voice" you can never unhear it, you will hear it everywhere.
I don’t think Michael McDonald gets the credit he deserves. He has worked with so many artists. I agree with some of the other comments, react to On My Own with Patti Labelle is a must
You'll definitely recognize his voice on the Doobie's "What A Fool Believes". also, MM's vocals were on a lot of records back in the day.
Especially the live version!
The sample was used because Warren G met Michael before and they got on well. When he contacted him about using the sample he said let me listen to it and he loved it.
Waren G also sampled Bob James "Sign of the Times" on Regulate. If you have not done so yet, you need to check out how many hip hop songs sample Bob James.
Warren G was always respectful with his samples
Btw. The girl who sung the hook is Michael McDonalds little sister. FYI. Check out. “This is it” by Kenny Loggins ( more blue eyed soul) Michael McDonald is a feature in this song since they wrote it together. He’s written a lot of good songs with Loggins
Sorry, don't agree that Kenny's tune is Blue eyed soul, This Is It, nice tune but not that.
I love Kenny Loggins
Definitely react to Bobby Caldwell!!!
I had such a crush on Michael MacDonald in the 1980s. He was such a fine looking man! And his voice, ahhh, so smooth!!!
Since you listened to this, you have to watch Michael Mcdonald with the iconic Patty Labelle "On My Own". You will trip big time. 😊
He sings and you know its him…when he sang with the Doobie Brothers…the whole stadium would instantly go quiet just to listen to Michael. Incredible voice!
His voice is so iconic. Nobody else in the world does sound like him, not even close.
Grew up with this...... Micheal McDonald's voice is undeniable, hear it once, never miss it again
40Year old rapper intimidated by a 70's white soul singer
Michael McDonald is 72 years old now. This is an old video. He was the voice of the Doobie Brothers of the 1970's
That voice! Nobody else sings like him.
Also backup singer for Steely Dan.
Steely Dan, another seventies rabbit hole of amazing music.
Totally agree! Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald on my own!!!!❤
Michael McDonald is 72 years old now. At the time of this release, he was 31. One of the BEST voices in music. He’s one of a kind.
I remember watching him sing live, and noticed that his facial expression never changes to show any emotion, yet his voice sure did!
Bruh, MM is blue-eyed soul personified.
Seriously you guys should check out Steely Dan “ kid Charlemagne” you will know that sample as well. It’s an absolute fact that Steely Dan was sampled more than any other artist, rap, R&B, and hip-hop.
We called it groove rock when it came out
Taking it to the Streets, is a banger.
Some of us Scots or Irish go from shades of auburn to beautiful gray fairly early😊
Michael has is all that voice and incredibly good looking!
I forget how young you guys are. These artists have such amazing talent. . Keep gettinI to those 70’s/80’s
Michael was born in 1952 and this song came out in 1982- he was 30 yrs old. He is still performing and just toured with the Doobie Brothers and he and the band sound fantastic still. Icon.
Love him! Have seen him solo concert. A great talent!
He's still performing in his seventies and sounds just as good.
Love Michael McDonald always loved him with the Doobie Brothers! Takin it to the Streets!❤
Holy shit, the way you guys are kind of groovin' together by instinct is what happens at my parties every time I tell Alexa to play "Yacht Rock Radio" in the background. Life is way funnier than most people make it. You two seriously crack me up.
i saw him about 1.5 years ago and he's still freakin fantastic!!!!!!!
I saw him back in '05 when he was touring with Steely Dan. Awesome shows.
Music just keeps going. Everything comes from something else. ❤
You should also know that Michael McDonald did a feature song with Toto where he sings some backup vocals. The song is "I'll Be Over You."
He was friends with Jeff Porcaro since 1973.
Saw him the last time he played live with the Doobies. Still have a mad crush from college on him. His voice melts me
I would love to see your Dad on here! I'm glad I always stick around to find out all of the details!
Michael McDonald was the lead singer of the Doobie Brothers starting in the mid 70's. He took over when the then lead singer got sick. Michael completely changed their sound to blue-eyed soul. It's a bit of a controversy with some fans not liking the sound Michael brought & others liking it better. You have to check out some live videos. Michael is great on the keys & his voice is iconic! 'The Doobie Brothers - Takin' it to the Streets (1977), "Minute by Minute" & "What a Fool Believes"
Bobby Caldwell “Do for Love” is fire! 🔥
Michael McDonald and Patti LaBelle “On My Own “ is 🔥🔥🔥
Michael with Doobie Brothers “What a Fool Believes” and his duet with Patti LaBelle “On My Own”🔥🔥🔥
There was a point where it seemed every top 10 record had him either singing lead or singing background vocals.
He was 30 when this came out in 1982. He started going gray headed on his late teens/early 20s. He's 72 now and still performing to this day. Check out his work with The Doobie Brothers:
It Keeps You Runnin
What A Fool Believes
Minute By Minute
Taking It To The Streets
Check out his background vocals on Kenny Loggins' This Is It, Christopher Cross' Ride Like The Wind.
Check out his duets with Aretha Franklin on Ever Changing Times, Patti LaBelle on On My Own, and lastly with David Pack(Ambrosia), and James Ingram on I Just Can't Let Go!
Michael McDonald is everything
LOVE LOVE LOVE ME SOME MICHAEL MCDONALD!!!!
came out in 82. He would have been 29/30. Born in 52.
I still play it it’s so good
Here for this one love this one
The broth'a on the left is smiling proudly. The broth'a on the right is thinking WTF? Michael McDonald baby. He's the man.
McDougals: you watch Coming To America recently?
😜😆
LOVE Michael McDonald's UNIQUE VOCALS!! You can hear him on ANY TRACK he's involved in....whether he's LEAD or BACKUP!! You CANNOT mistake him for ANYONE else... SO GOOD!!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!
They may play this on a yacht but us older people call this “blue-eyed soul.” Love! ❣️❣️❣️
I loved this song way before Warren G! I feel sampling is a compliment to the original! It’s a form of appreciation and keeping the music alive! In the video, the woman at the end is a different woman than in the beginning! I love Michael McDonald’s voice! He was great in the Doobie Brothers!❤❤
He was a great writter, player, singer, producer
My second favorite Mcdonald tune after his famous hit with the doobies....what a fool believes.....love the simple drum track by the late jeff porcoro on this song....just hypnotic, simple bass piano...lets mikes voice do the work....then the musicians give it a little gas at the end. Nice simple tune, well orchestrated. Love it.
Michael is from Ferguson Missouri . He played in many St, Louis area local bands in the mid 60;s. Even played at dances at my High School.
This is definitely one of my favorite songs. It’s actually his sister singing with him. Please react to Bobby Caldwell What you Won’t do for Love!
I've never heard the term "yacht rock" before! To me, this takes me back to my pre-teen/early teen years. There was a certain sound in the late 70s to early '80s that is distinctive, and this song is a part of it. Thanks for the warm fuzzies, BP.
Have you heard Leon Russell? There’s no one to equal him. He’s a singer/ songwriter. He has so many great songs.
Lady Blue, Tightrope, I’m Singing this Song for You
and many more.
And his Hank Wilson album of all Hank Williams songs😅
First time dude here. Y’all gotta keep it up! Was there when the Cartier boys broke open, and y’all deserve the same respect. 🙏
Mike McDonald’s sister sang the female part. This guy is so talented! Enjoy! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻
You need to react to his "It Keeps You Running" the live version with the Doobie Brothers. My absolute all time favorite. I could just drink this man's voice !!!
The Doobie Brother's and Michael McDonald are brilliant artists! This specific song is blue-eyed soul, but he does have a few songs that would be conaidered "Yacht Rock" maybe. The Doobies are classic rock, pop, soft rock, and blue-eyed soul .
Michael's voice is so raspy, sexy, soulful, and smooooth.
Definitely react to Bobby Caldwell- "What You Won't Do For Love". He's another fantastic blue-eyed soul artist. Try some Michael Bolton or Hall & Oates too for that same genre.
The difference between sampling and playing a cover is that the sample is using the magic created by the original artist. Playing the cover is using your own skills to recreate the same magic. Same as painting a picture with brushes and canvas based on a great painting, as opposed to simply printing a photo of the original painting onto canvas. It’s completely different.
I first saw/heard Michael McDonald when he joined the group The Doobie Brothers. I had the biggest crush on him. Those sexy blue eyes, that voice, like no other. When Michael 'came out', I was crushed. I just couldn't believe it because a lot of his songs are about women and a lot of his videos have women in them. BUT, I did, and still do, love him and his music. You really need to check out "On My Own" with Patti Labelle. Their voices, together, will blow your mind.
🇬🇧 His duet with Patty Labelle "On My Own" is well worth a listen. 🎼🎶✨🎙️
Blue eyed soul. ♥️
I looked it up, he was 30 when he made this music video 😎
Michael was 30 when this came out. He grayed young
The back up singers are his sisters. I love Michael McDonald’s voice and his time with The Doobie Brothers. He sings back up on “Ambrosia’s” & with Lead singer David Pack.
Michael's sister is singing backup vocals. Check out Christopher Cross, too 😍
Steve Lukather - guitar (ToTo's guitarist)
Greg Phillinganes - clavinet (Now ToTo's keybordist)
Louis Johnson - bass guitar (from the Brothers Johnson and bassist on Michael Jackson's Off the wall album)
Jeff Porcaro - drums (ToTo's drummer )
Maureen McDonald - backing vocals (his sister)
Here are the credits for this song 🤯
Jeff Porcaro on drums the groove master. RIP
I seen him and the Doobie brother's in September last year. Awesome show he's still 👍🏻 great ❤
Classic!
I didn't need hairspray in the 80s to do that to my hair. My frizz did that naturally, which is way I always tied it back, hated it.
Michael McDonald's voice is instantly recognizable, check on On my own or What a fool believes
I saw Michael in concert about 5 years ago. He is as good as ever! I've always loved his unique voice!
I close my eyes to this song and see a Ray Carles blasting this out...Macdonald is the MacDaddy of SMOOTH....
Micheal McDonald was also part of The Doobie Brothers before he went solo. They are worth looking at. Their music is awesome.
He’s really great singer
I recommend Kenny Loggins too. I had no idea he sang as many songs that I actually knew. I found at least 4 new songs that I now love.
Michael McDonald is an underrated singer/songwriter. I haven't heard anyone that has been able to replicate his voice.
Was song of the year!
Now that you've heard his voice, wait until you see and hear all of the songs hes a part of. Patti LaBelle, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Toto, Steely Dan, etc. Also, in this song, the female backup singer, is his sister. And he was 30 when this song was released. He was born in 1952, and this song was released in 1982.
