Pure goodness
His work with Kenny Loggins is something for you to check out!
I absolutely love me some Michael Mcdonald and the Doogie brothers!! I grew up listening to them and I've seen them live. Can you do I want you by Marvin Gaye?
Try The Doobie Brothers – Black Water if you haven't yet
Can’t go wrong with Michael McDonald! Michael collaborated with a lot of artists in his day including, Christopher Cross’ “Ride like the Wind”, Patti LaBelle’s “On my own”, Kenny Loggins’ “This is it”, Steely Dan’s “Peg” and even did the soundtrack song, “Sweet Freedom” on the movie “Running Scared” that starred Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal.
This song was song of the year in late seventies, maybe 79🎶🎶🎶🎶
Such a great song! Thank you for this one.❤
The studio version is fire.
I understand what you mean, Tasha about wanting to hear it over and over again. It’s been 44 years, and I still haven’t gotten tired of this song.
But hope is better than nothing at all sometimes👀👀👀👀👀
It keeps you runnin
Heard this song 🎵🎶 today on SiriusXM radio 📻 in my car 🚗
This is the worst rendition of this great song that I've ever heard. That organ sucks.
One of my all time favorite songs. Great job
Ambrosia – How much I feel… 70s baby!!
This chord progression on verse and chorus throughout the whole song was new wave leading into other rock types including punk. That’s what Michael McDonald did … he lead new wave into other types of rock. Ricky don’t lose my number had this rock too. But michaels voice was so distinct you could spo5 it in the fore ground and background all over the place with its raspy soul.
They can call it yacht rock or whatever it's actually just some of the best music u ever heard , I ain't lying after 52 years of listening to music all these great 70s 80s tunes are untouchable ! 🤘 dig deep the rewards are never ending ! 😅
Wait until you listen to the studio recording!
Iconic song! Michael has sung with so many icons too,
Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald, On my own
Peg, Steely Dan (Michael on backing vocals)
Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald, This is it
Christopher Cross, Ride like the wind(Michael on backing vocals)
You got it right. It's about a guy that has a relationship with an unobtainable woman in his mind. She doesn't even know he exists.
Michael McDonald sang backup on many songs in the 80's including: I'll Be Over You. [TOTO]; Ride Like the Wind. [Christopher Cross]; I Really Don't Know Anymore (I Really Can't Say). [Christopher Cross]; Yah-Mo Be There. [James Ingram]; This Is It. [Kenny Loggin]; Peg. [Steely Dan]; On My Own. [Patti LaBelle].
You should look into 70's music tv shows like American Band Stand and The Midnight Special. Back in the day there was tv shows about music.
Excellent reaction!!! Michael McDonald has a lot of soul in his voice. Very unique voice.
🔥
Great reaction to a great song! I bet you would like the Doobies doing “Taking It To The Streets,” they have a great live version of that. Keep up the good work!
The lyrics you read are incorrect. If you go to 4:06 of this video, you can clearly hear and see them say "what a fool believes, THE wise man has the power to reason away". If you look up the lyrics as you did, it often says, "NO" wise man….. but if you watch and listen to the clip it is clearly "THE".
When this came out it sounded like nothing else. A few have copied it, but it stands apart
The Doobies never had a bad song , great reaction ! "It keeps you running" , another great song.
He sang backup on some tracks for Carly Simon.
Check out his duet with Patti Labelle, "On My Own." Great song.
I'm mostly a metalhead. But this is easily one of my favourite songs.
Guitar player with the orange shirt and sunglasses is none other than Jeff "Skunk" Baxter also of Steely Dan and interestingly enough is also a honest to goodness rocket scientist at NASA to this day.
It's like his voice is wrapped in velvet: no rough harshness.
I did one studio session with Michael M. (vocals on the song "Sweet Freedom") and he was: 1) the nicest guy, and 2) a seriously bad-ass singer/scatter who could come up with great improvisational sh|t on demand. Colleagues of mine who worked with him in studio more than I did (in the '80s and '90s) told me he was super down-to-earth and super unpretentious.
