      That's so funny that you say that this is a great opening line because I literally just text my friend with that lyric and anybody who you send that to they'll know the song of course if they are of a certain age❤ Michael McDonald vocals are just so awesome and he has such a distinct voice that you can never forget

Modern acts just don't have that same soul and groove. The 50s, 60s and 70s were an Era ushered in by classical musicians who evolved, and put in a ton of work as a BAND.. very little electronic input. You really cannot replicate this anymore sadly.

      They were writing their own music as a BAND and improvising. No huge computer enhancements to make them sound perfect and correct their pitches. They had to get it right on their own..

I think that God gave him and the Doobie Brothers the talent and drive and gift that has touched millions. He has done far more than that school ever expected.

    Amazing, just amazing from an era where it wasn't all about the marketing but the sheer talent, Mr. McDonald on those keys made me realize he was in a zone, just vibing with life and we got a chance to witness what he and Mr. Baxter cooked up. What we saw and listened to was a pop gospel group at their finest. This was beyond belief !!!

    Michael McDonald's solo (starts at 3:56) in this Sound Stage concert in Chicago, the year before I left Chicago to go to Los Angeles to become a song writer, on the CP80 yamaha piano has been an inspiration to me for my whole life, musically speaking. I have used it to inform so many of my own improvisational riffs. He is a musical genius. God Given talents beyond words. Michael McDonald for President!

    So many get the undeserved appellation “ most underrated……”.
    IMO Skunk- gets the turkey on the forehead. The energy and - and that nobody- nails his style- for me🎉 pits him in his own world. Hell of a tasteful solo and playing in general, as always. Bless ya Skunk.
