My cousin just recorded with Michael McDonald a few weeks ago. I have a lot of Great musicians and singers in my family. This one was also on TV Show The Voice this past year.
Drums the late great Jeff Porcaro from TOTO, Guitar Steve Lukather also from TOTO. Bass Louis Johnson from The Brothers Johnson. The woman singing is Michael's sister Maureen.
I'm in the Grandpa position now. I love turning my Grandbabies on to the good music. They can't believe they made this music without computers. I do it old school. They dig thru the vinyl and they get to experience an old school 750 watts of Pioneer stereo. I got an old dude man cave. Lava lamps, black lights, strobes. Old school!!
Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins have some massive hits together. “Heart to Heart” and “I’m Alright” were absolute branders in the 80’s and written by the two of them.
Kenny Loggins "Whenever I Call You "Friend" duet with Stevie Nicks is such a beautiful and fantastic song. The harmonizing in the beginning is phenomenal ❤💯🎶
I'm Alright. Written by Kenny Loggins. The live video in the 1980s barely shows Eddie Money. They had a falling out. 😖😖 Other songs Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins wrote are 1 What a Fool Believes. Won 🏆 a Grammy for Original Song. 2 This Is It.
Michael McDonald sang back-up with Steely Dan. His distinctive voice stands out, but his ability to blend in and harmonize is amazing! Steely Dan is another group worth sharing with your listeners especially the "Aja" album! THANK YOU for giving us fans your latest reaction!
Gentlemen I don't know where you are located but the doobie brothers with Michael McDonald are still on tour this year I'm going to see them for the 3rd straight year. just got tix yesterday.. go see them if you are able you will not be disappointed
Lukather on guitar and Porcaro on drums (Toto) with Michael’s sister on bg vocals! ❤ science teacher?! The man is hot! Those blue eyes? Silver fox, guys.
This song was Michael McDonald's very first Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as a solo artist. The song not only peaked at the #4 spot and it also peaked at the #7 spot on the Billboard Soul chart as well during the early fall of 1982. By the way, the female backup vocal on this song was Michael McDonald's sister, Maureen McDonald.
I am going to see the Doobie Brothers here in a couple months and I can't wait for it!!! They are going to have all of the original line up that are still with us and you know that it will be a awesome time!!!
How Can We Be Lovers But We Can’t Be Friends- Michael Bolton. Gents another blue eyed soul song and went to #1 for 3 weeks in 1990. Love to see you react to it! He has an amazing baritone of a voice.
Yeah, OlliWoodda got it right away. When the female vocalist comes in the second half singing the chorus, it hints that she's feeling the same way about him. Great catch!
Check out Michael McDonald, with the Doobie Brothers, as a backup singer on the song "Depending on You" and as a lead singer, on the song "Taking it to the Streets"
Written by Michael McDonald, Ed Sanford, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The rap Regulator from Warren G sampled this. Steve Lukather on lead guitar 🎸 and Jeff Porcaro on drums 🥁. They played with their band Toto, the late Michael Jackson and other musicians in 1982. No wonder members of Toto worked like a dog 🐕! L 🤣L. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins perform This Is It. 2 Toto and Michael McDonald perform I'll Be Over You.
Corey ray I adore you you really get into the music. I just love your joy just listening to the music. It makes me happy that you get a lot of joy like I do. I had nothing in my life but music in my life when I was a kid. If not for the music I think I would have gone insane. Thank god for music. Keep up the good work. Love you guys sheila
I'm going down a rabbit hole again of reactions to this song and I've seen your reaction to the song a few times before😅😅😅😅 but it was a hit when my daughter was born in 1982 and she's now 42😮😮😮 add this song still sounds fresh😊😊😊😊😊
I can't even describe how Michael McDonald sings. It's such a different sound, like he's swallowing the words or something. I can't think of anyone else who sounds like him.
Hey fellas. Enjoyed your reaction. Yeah man, Michael can sing. He also does a nice version of "You Are Everything" originally done by The Stylistics. That one is worth checking out. Peace.
Now we’re talkin’! Funny video but dang, what a song. Those rhythms! That’s his wife with him in it. Toto was his backup band here. They were the greatest studio musicians at the time. ❤The back up singers are Mike’s sisters!!! You can watch them all together on Soul Train doing this. On My Own with Patti is a GREAT video!!!!!!❤ There are lots of GREAT MM vids where he’s playing live with the Doobs. “ Takin It to the Streets”. You better get on it with Steely Dan- the most sophisticated band to ever rock out in a funky way and more sampled than anyone! Peter Gunz and Lord Tariq sampled their Black Cow. MM sang harmonies with them - “ Peg”. Hope these suggestions help. Love you guys! ❤
Hey GUYS enjoy your reactions got a couple i think yous would like..try paul rodgers(free,bad company).talking guitar blues n live in peace from his cut loose album.he played all the instuments n vocals on the whole album.considered one of the greatest rock vocalists ever by his peers

Hey My Brothers, You said you wanted another Michael McDonald "BANGER" to react to, well here it is, the song is titled "Stop, Look & Listen (To Your Heart) it is a hot duo with the lovely Toni Braxton and it is performed "Live" recorded in HD!!! Here is the Link: th-cam.com/video/G7-JHwaenmc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=usMrJWQcY80vR9GH
I found you listening to ambrosia the guy on the bottom that said it was too smooth and needs to get his head examined my Lord. That song is beautiful. Anyhow, I am a subscriber now I love watching reaction videos please please please do some Beegees like how deep is your love or Fanny be tender you will not be disappointed. Love you all already.❤
Don't be ignorant, fellas. Keep checking the old shit. There are sSso many beats and bangers that influenced hip hop over the years or else were straight up sampled for hip hop tracks. The instrumental APACHE by the Incredible Bongo Band oughta light a fire, for instance. You should also try AND WHEN I DIE by Blood Sweat and Tears. Why? Because I said so. Just ask me. I'll let you know about the hidden tunes you oughta respect.
Here's another suggestion for another group to give a listen, if interested. "Stylistics - You Make Me Feel Brand New - original Live Audio" (by the channel: Elizabeth1903) of if you'd rather hear the Official studio version then check this one out "The Stylistics - You Make Me Feel Brand New (Official Lyric Video)" --The Stylistics were an American Philidelphia soul group that reached their greatest success in the 1970's. Philadelphia soul was a sub-genre of music that actually originated from Philadelphia in the early 1970's. It is characterized by it's lush instrumental arrangements, smooth production and sultry seductive soulful sound. The Stylistics are known for their soulful harmonies and romantic lyricism. peace out~

The great Jeff Porcaro of Toto on drums! The legendary Louis Johnson on bass!
Featuring the late , great Louis Johnson on Bass . The Bass underpins the whole track and Michael's vocals do the rest.
The female background vocal is Michael's little sister, Maureen.
If you’re thinking of checking out Steely Dan, their song “Do It Again” is a great one to start with (you may have heard it before)
My favorite song that he sings is What A Fool Believes
Hey fellas. Enjoyed your reaction. Yeah man, Michael can sing. He also does a nice version of "You Are Everything" originally done by The Stylistics. That one is worth checking out. Peace.

These were great song choices, including Elton John's song.
