You probably heard Michael singing lead for the Doobie Brothers on their classic track "What a Fool Believes." For a little while there in the '80s his voice was everywhere (even though he was originally just a keyboard player).
That's how you sing s duet. I loved this song when it first hit the airwaves back in the eighties and still do. And it's the way it climbs and climbs until they let loose for real.
‘…..this guy….somethin brothers’😅. Crazy! Michael McDonald is a pop/r&b absolute ICON! Patti is r&b royalty absolute diva! She been on the scene since the ‘60’s. Her group of 3 singers including, Nona Hendrix & Sarah Dash, was called LaBelle: Lady Marmalade; You Are My Friend. After they all went solo, Patti had many hits, mostly in the ‘80’s: New Attitude; if Only You Knew; Feel Like Another One featuring Big Daddy Kane. Michael was in Doobie Brothers: What A Fool Believes; Takin It To the Streets; Minute by Minute. His biggest solo hit: I Keep Forgettin (I’m not in love anymore), which was also sampled by rap artist, Warren G. Other hits, besides this duet, is one with the late r&b artist, James Ingram called, Yeah’ o Be There, & one from a soundtrack for the movie Running Scared, starring Billy Crystal & late tap dancer/singer/actor, Gregory Hines. Plus Mike is an all star background vocalist as well: Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Steely Dan to name a few. Plenty to check out. You won’t be disappointed. 👍🏾
2 vocal legends. You can't get any better than that. Patty has too many hits to mention. Her version of Over the rainbow will melt you. Michael has a duet with James Ingram called "ya mo be there" that's worth a listen. So glad you got to hear this classic. love your genuine reactions 💕
Michael has been in the music game, since the late 60's. He started out singing backup vocals on Steely Dan albums. When the lead singer of The Doobie Brothers got sick in 1976, they asked him to sing lead for them, till he got well again. He was so good, they decided to make him their lead singer. With Michael they had hit's like, Taking It To The Streets, It Keeps You Running, What A Fool Believes, Minute By Minute, Real Love, among many others. He did backup on Toto's I'll Be Over You, On Kenny Loggings song This Is It, And Ambrosia. Him and James Ingram, did a song called, Ya Mo Be There. He did some solo stuff to, Keep Forgetting. Made some other albums over the years, FYI, in the 80's, he even dated Dennise Williams. He's a super lit artist, with a lot of super lit song, to his resume!✌️🎸🥁🎺
Patti, Miss LaBelle has been a Diva for quite awhile, she is at the epitome of her game, she takes Second to No-One. You have heard Michael McDonald. He is in the “Doobie Brothers”, ( they’ve started their ‘21-‘22 Tour) What a Fool Believes, Minute By Minute, Taking it to the Streets, Whenever I Call You Friend, he’s also done back up work for “Steely Dan” & “Kenny Loggins”. This has got to be the “Best” Break up song ever! Check out the Production Values, California vs New York. The letter Patty crumbles up in NY shows up on Michaels table in CA. The same Boxes/Luggage in both places, hell they even have the same Cactus. The Voices are beyond compare, Patti is at her Best and Michael is in Top Notch form. I’m a Big Fan. I also requested this Women for “Female Friday” before….SanJoséBob
You need to react to the group she was in LaBelle. Fantastic. And of course Michael McDonald from The Doobie Brothers. Just don't know what you're missing as far as good songs out there.
Patti LaBelle is truly amazing. She is another treasure, like our girl Linda! And that’s Michael McDonald who has a great solo career and also sang with Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. He is another icon. They sound gorgeous together. Another great duet to check out is Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram doing “Somwhere Out There”. Love your videos honey 🌺✌️
Michael McDonald was with Doobie Brothers. What a Fool Believes is a big hit from Michael if you haven't heard it... More Michael and Doobie Brothers... Enjoying your Channel
MM was with the Doobie Brothers. He's got a bunch of great songs. Patti, you're missing it. Check out her with Over The Rainbow. She'll take you to OZ.
You owe it to yourself to react to Michael McDonald sing, I KEEP FORGETTING. And Patti Labelle is the original singer of LADY MARMALADE With her group, LaBalle. She also has an 8o's hit called, NEW ATTITUDE. Enjoy.
You said Patti LaBelle's voice was soft, for a completely different side of her, listen to LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade". Michael McDonald was a member of The Doobie Brothers.
wow....quiero darle like a todos los comentarios....es mucho trabajo 😅 ....todos un like arriba !!! quienes lean esto....like arriba !!!! viva el amor y el románticismo !!! ☺️
Honey, just take a few seconds to check out Google if you want an answer right away. We're patient, we don't mind you doing a search during your reaction video.
Common a small joint is called a what? You've already said it. That's how I remembered it. And I'm 49. Then add the word Brothers to it. I want you to get it so bad.
Patti LaBelle has an absolutely beautiful voice and to be paired up with Michael McDonald is pure magic.
Spine tingling.......doobie brothers...wonderful together...
The best way I can describe Michael McDonald's voice is like this.....like warm salted caramel being slowly poured over vanilla ice cream 🥰
They each compliment

Heard this song and saw this video so many times back in the day. Will always love, but, with a bit of sadness. Wonderful reaction.
If you want to hear Patti LaBelle, you need to check out LaBelle- Lady Marmalade, or her by herself- new attitude!!
Two of the most iconic voices ever!
Michael McDonald with The Doobie Brothers. He also does a lot of solo work and he's still a very handsome man. Love your reactions. See you soon 😊.
You know when any 2 good singers get together for a song you’ll have a great song 😁
THE Patty LaBelle song you need to do is New attitude! It ROCKS!!
One of my favorite songs! Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time!
I am glad you finally heard and saw this modern classic.
Patti is the ultimate! She’s like my first love when I was 14-15, we may not be together but I will always be in love!
Fantastic reaction ❤😊
Love this one!
The other day at the grocery store I saw Patti LaBelle Mac & Cheese in the frozen food section, marketed as Patti's Good Life 😊

Why should she Google during a reaction?
I prefer that she watch & listen while the song is on. Then she can put it together - as she did.
Sheesh.
I can't believe you stopped it to talk about sesame street!
You videos would be much more enjoyable if you made the size of the music video larger so we too could enjoy it.
RUclips copyright issues
